You will learn about them, especially when you attend the free seminars such as the ones conducted by COL Financial Group, Inc.

3. Monitor your stocks and see how your chosen companies are doing. You have the option to quit or continue investing or buying stocks to these companies.
4. You may retain your stocks or even buy more stocks when the market is down. This is because prices of stocks are low and much cheaper.

When the market’s up again, you’ll gain more because of the additional stocks you bought.
5. Add money to your account to ensure growth of your funds in stocks.
