Playing the stock market is a great way to make lots of money quickly. But finding an entry point can be very difficult. Here are some great ways to find an entry point in the stock market.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Decide on what direction you think the stock is moving.
    Once you have picked a direction you can start looking for a good entry point. If you believe the stock is looking bearish you can still make lots of money. You will want to start looking into buying "puts" if you feel the stock is not going to be doing well. Stock options can make money much quicker than just buying a stock. But on the downside, they are more risky.

  2. Step 2

    Start learning about technical analysis.
    This is where you read the charts to help you make financial decisions in the stock market. The stock market can be very tricky to predict but if you have somewhat of a guideline, it can make things much easier. So the more you learn about the stock's charts the better. This can also help you confirm your decision on which direction the stock is going to move. There are many ways to predict what the stock market is going to do, but no matter what you do just make sure you have fully researched your investment.

  3. Step 3

    Purchase your stock on a day it is moving in the opposite direction.
    This way you can buy more of the stock for cheaper and it might just pop after that. So if a stock goes down one day and it is looking bullish, you might can get in before it rallies. Some rallies are small and others can be extremely large. So start looking for stocks that may take large jumps in one direction.
