How to Make Money by Jobbing in the Stock Market

Open a brokerage account that lets you buy and sell stocks and bonds. You can opt to work through a traditional brokerage account, where a broker provides personalized service and advice. The fees for a traditional account often make them prohibitive for the frequent buy-and-sell pattern of stock jobbing. Online brokerage accounts, which provide minimal personalized service and advice, provide the advantage of much lower fees for trading, which lends itself to jobbing.
Understand how a stock chart tracks the past performance of a stock in terms of price. Stock charts typically include graphs that show price movement as jagged lines that cover days, weeks or months of past trading. Some charts represent price movements as vertical bars, called candlesticks, that show the top and bottom prices for a given day.
Understand the support and resistance levels of stocks. Some stocks will persistently fall to a particular price, rise to a particular price and then fall back to the original price. These are the support and resistance levels. The support level, at which the price bottoms out, represents the point at which demand picks up and investors begin to buy. The resistance level, at which the price peaks, represents the point at which demand falls off and investors begin to sell the stock.
Choose an appropriate stock to purchase. Stock selection for jobbing requires you to research the market. The right stocks exhibit ongoing price fluctuations but with relatively predictable support and resistance levels. After you find a stock that shows volatility, but within predictable limits, you wait for the stock to reach its support level and then purchase shares. After the stock reaches its resistance level, you sell the stock shares and pocket the difference. To make stock jobbing profitable, you need to select stocks that demonstrate a large enough difference between support and resistance levels that, when you sell, you make enough to pay the fees and taxes but still make a profit.
Pay your taxes. You are responsible for paying short-term capital gains taxes at your current tax rate for profits on stock jobbing. The Internal Revenue Service may require you to pay estimated tax payments on jobbing profits. Consult with your accountant to determine if or when you need to make payments.

How to Dig a Stock Tank (19 Steps)

Analyze your purposes. Do you want to water large herds? Do you want to supply a barn, a garden or even a house? Will you use it for boating and swimming or stock it with fish? Purpose affects surface area and depth.
Determine your water source. A stock tank needs a water supply to fill it and maintain the water level, and the most common source is surface runoff from seasonal rains. Other sources may include a well or a spring.
Pick the right spot for your stock tank. Reject any site that drains a feed lot or barn or a septic tank, as this will contaminate the impounded water. Drainage from roads is also a source of contamination and fine dust that will muddy the water and silt up your pond. Any site that requires a dam more than 20 feet high will require extensive construction at high costs.
Stake off the area of the proposed stock tank and borrow area (any place where you intend to get extra dirt to build the dam).
Evaluate the soil in these areas. It should contain enough clay to form the dam core and hold water in. Test it by squeezing a handful of fairly moist soil into a firm ball. If you can move it from hand to hand several times without it crumbling, it should be suitable. Test at several spots along the proposed dam site.



Remove all tree stumps and roots and heavy brush from the dam site and borrow area. Woody trash in your fill dirt will rot away and leave holes in your dam that may cause it to leak.
Clear the pond basin. You can leave tree stumps and a few brush piles away from the dam if you intend to stock your tank with fish -- they will provide hiding places and breeding areas. If you intend to use your tank for swimming or boating, though, they may become safety hazards.
Remove at least a foot of topsoil from the pond basin and stockpile it to use to cover the completed dam and encourage re-vegetation.



Mark off the dam site and the spillway.
Dig a trench along the center of the dam site for the full length of the dam and extend it up the side of each hill to the level of the spillway. This trench must be at least seven feet wide and 4 to 6 feet deep, extending into (but not through) the clay subsoil.
Trench for and lay any necessary piping for bringing water into your stock tank. If your water source is a well, dig a trench at right angles to the dam and extend it from the source to the deepest point of the stock tank. Include a control mechanism to limit or stop water flowing into the tank.
Trench for and lay piping from the center to the lowest part of the tank for rapid draining if necessary. For tanks of 3 acres or less, use six-inch to eight-inch pipe; for larger tanks, use 8-inch to 12-inch pipe. Include a gate valve on the downstream end for flow control and an erosion control device at the outflow.
Build up the dam, using soil from your stockpile or from a designated borrow area. If the clay content of available soil varies, use the highest quality for the dam core, the next-best for the water side and the poorest for the back or dry side. Grade the slope of the water side at 3 to 1 and that of the dry side at 2 to 1 -- anything steeper will erode too quickly. Allow a freeboard (the distance between the top of the dam and the waterline when the tank is full) of about 3 feet. Make the top of your dam at least 12 feet wide at the top for vehicle access and maintenance, and crown it dam slightly in the center to allow for soil settling.



Grade a natural spillway at the lowest part of your tank as a safety valve. This allows excess water to escape naturally.
Make it perfectly level to prevent erosion and grade a gentle slope below it to level ground for even distribution of outflow. Complete this after construction with gravel and/or appropriate planting.
If a natural spillway is impractical, construct a pipe spillway with a concrete slab or other erosion control device at the fall end.



Grade all waterside banks at 2 to 1 for 4 feet below the freeboard to lessen shallow-water problems such as plant growth above and below the surface.
Grade all bank surfaces smooth.
Put in appropriate plant cover to reduce erosion and muddied water.

How to Be a Stock Broker in India

Take a course in stock brokering. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), among other institutes, offer certified courses in stock brokering. These courses are related to capital markets, investment, financial planning, equity research, securities and portfolio analysis and other certificate courses.
Work at a stock brokering firm. One of the criteria for becoming a stock broker in India is to have a minimum of two years' work experience at a stock brokering firm or in a field related to securities or financial services.
Determine what type of services you want to offer as a stock broker. Some brokers offer a wide range of financial products such as stocks, bonds, derivatives and insurance. They may also offer services that include investment advice, investment strategies and in-depth research and analysis. Other brokers may only execute trades without offering investment advice, and may charge lower fees.
Ensure that you have adequate infrastructure and finances to register and operate as a stock broker. One of the criteria the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) considers while evaluating your application as a stock broker is whether you have the required office space, equipment and manpower to work effectively as a stock broker. If you intend to become an online stock broker, you must provide a reliable online stock trading platform that offers access to stock exchanges and depositories and functions without technical glitches.
Register as a stock broker with SEBI. Stock brokers in India are governed by the SEBI Act of 1992, which requires stock brokers to first register with SEBI, who will evaluate your application to see if you are eligible to become a stock broker before issuing you a registration certificate.
Become a member of a stock exchange. Besides registering with the SEBI, stock brokers must become members of one or more stock exchanges such as the NSE and the BSE. The application forms are closely evaluated by the exchanges before granting membership. Most major exchanges require stock brokers to pay a security deposit and a membership fee, which usually involve a considerable expense.
Market your services as a stock broker to attract clients. Word-of-mouth publicity and customer referrals are usually the best ways to get more business as a stock broker. If your portfolio performs well, leverage that to win the confidence of potential customers.
