Occidental Petroleum (OXY 2.65%)
Occidental Petroleum (OXY), a stock that may be a good buy, is worth considering. Occidental shares have risen nearly 92% since last year.

Charter Communications (CHC), might be the stock you are looking for. Berkshire Hathaway took 2.3 million shares of Charter last August, worth $365 million.

It may not seem like much but it makes a significant difference. Buffett invested a lot of money in Berkshire. Mastercard is a great asset to any portfolio.
FAQ
What is the difference between non-marketable and marketable securities?
Non-marketable securities are less liquid, have lower trading volumes and incur higher transaction costs. Marketable securities on the other side are traded on exchanges so they have greater liquidity as well as trading volume. Because they trade 24/7, they offer better price discovery and liquidity. This rule is not perfect. There are however many exceptions. Some mutual funds, for example, are restricted to institutional investors only and cannot trade on the public markets.
Non-marketable security tend to be more risky then marketable. They have lower yields and need higher initial capital deposits. Marketable securities are generally safer and easier to deal with than non-marketable ones.
For example, a bond issued by a large corporation has a much higher chance of repaying than a bond issued by a small business. This is because the former may have a strong balance sheet, while the latter might not.
Because of the potential for higher portfolio returns, investors prefer to own marketable securities.
How can I select a reliable investment company?
It is important to find one that charges low fees, provides high-quality administration, and offers a diverse portfolio. Commonly, fees are charged depending on the security that you hold in your account. Some companies don't charge fees to hold cash, while others charge a flat annual fee regardless of the amount that you deposit. Others charge a percentage based on your total assets.
Also, find out about their past performance records. Companies with poor performance records might not be right for you. Avoid companies with low net assets value (NAV), or very volatile NAVs.
Finally, you need to check their investment philosophy. An investment company should be willing to take risks in order to achieve higher returns. If they aren't willing to take risk, they may not meet your expectations.
What are the benefits to owning stocks
Stocks are more volatile that bonds. The stock market will suffer if a company goes bust.
If a company grows, the share price will go up.
In order to raise capital, companies usually issue new shares. This allows investors the opportunity to purchase more shares.
To borrow money, companies can use debt finance. This gives them cheap credit and allows them grow faster.
When a company has a good product, then people tend to buy it. The stock's price will rise as more people demand it.
The stock price will continue to rise as long that the company continues to make products that people like.

How To
How to Trade in Stock Market
Stock trading is a process of buying and selling stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, derivatives, etc. Trading is French for traiteur. This means that one buys and sellers. Traders purchase and sell securities in order make money from the difference between what is paid and what they get. This is the oldest type of financial investment.
There are many options for investing in the stock market. There are three main types of investing: active, passive, and hybrid. Passive investors do nothing except watch their investments grow while actively traded investors try to pick winning companies and profit from them. Hybrid investors use a combination of these two approaches.
Passive investing is done through index funds that track broad indices like the S&P 500 or Dow Jones Industrial Average, etc. This type of investing is very popular as it allows you the opportunity to reap the benefits and not have to worry about the risks. You just sit back and let your investments work for you.
Active investing is about picking specific companies to analyze their performance. Active investors will look at things such as earnings growth, return on equity, debt ratios, P/E ratio, cash flow, book value, dividend payout, management team, share price history, etc. They then decide whether they will buy shares or not. If they feel the company is undervalued they will purchase shares in the hope that the price rises. On the other side, if the company is valued too high, they will wait until it drops before buying shares.
Hybrid investing combines some aspects of both passive and active investing. You might choose a fund that tracks multiple stocks but also wish to pick several companies. In this instance, you might put part of your portfolio in passively managed funds and part in active managed funds.
