How Shopping and Fashion can Make You Rich
If you bought stocks of the stores you go to or brands you just have to have, youd probably be much richer than you are now (even if you bought on sale or with a coupon). When a store or brand makes a lot of money, do they thank you with extra discounts? Probably not. Its the company and the stock holders who share pieces of the money pie, and its very delicious. Get this: I think shoppers and fashion maniacs have the perfect skills to make money in the stock market. Its all about finding great deals and trends of whats hot and whats not, instincts that all great shoppers are born with.
FASHION TRENDS
The stock market is nothing more than a big shopping mall. The companies that are in style see their stock price grow, sometimes two or three times! That means you couldve doubled or tripled your money, much better than those 10, 20, or even 50% discounts eh? To make this kind of money in the stock market, you have to buy the stocks on sale and the stocks that you know will be in style later on.
GOTTA HAVE IT!
You want to get in on the trend setters, not the stuff thats already hot. Like with fashion, the stuff thats hot now will soon be, like we said in high school, soooo last week! Stocks that are soooo last week often lose you money as people sell these stocks for a lot less, just so they can have money to go buy the next hot thing. So, if you know a brand or a product that is a must have, you could buy the stock before others get in on it, then youd make a lot of money as people would pay you ridiculously more money for the stock when everyone just have to have it.
BLOWOUT SALE!
Every once in a while, the market throws big sales. This is when you see on the news that the stock market went down a lot. A lot of the time people just sell stocks for ridiculously low prices just to get rid of them, just like the clearance sale at your favorite department store. Does that mean these are bad stocks? Not necessarily. Sometimes theyre just trying to clear the store for the summer season, but you can get a great winter jacket at a low low price. By the time winter rolls around and everyone wants your jacket, people would buy your jacket for a lot more when you paid for it on sale. How awesome is that?
YOUR UPPER HAND
These strategies of buying stocks on sale and knowing whats the next hottest thing is the basic idea for all of the stock market. It works stocks of all types of companies from retail stores to cars and even hospitals, but Im going to focus on retail stores and fashion here. Why? Because most, if not all of the time, you shoppers set the trends for whats hot. The money managers on Wall Street buying the stocks sit in their office all day and have no clue whats hot. They cant go to the stores and see whats the coolest new items or what everyone is wearing. Most of these stock buyers are men who dont know the first thing about fashion trends.
Whether if you see your local Target (TGT) store just jammed packed with people, or everyone you know just have to buy Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) or American Eagle (AEOS), or how everyone has Coach (COH) handbags- Id put the bet on you to notice these trends before that money manager in his office on Wall Street. Too late to start? NOT! Heck, what youre buying now might just be the next hottest thing. Instead of just buying the clothes, jeans, or shoes, add the stock to your buy list too! All I ask in return is to let me in on what trends are hot so we can get rich together! Or just hit me up and Ill try to find the right stock for the trend, because not all stores have stocks, or its hard to find their stock. Sometimes one store is owned by another store, bla bla bla.

STARBUCKS
If you bought a $24 stock of Starbucks (SBUX) along with that $5 cup of coffee last year, your Starbucks stock would be worth $36 (as of this post)! Thats a 50% increase while your bank account might have just gotten you less than 5%. Thats $12 more bucks you can spend this year on your Starbucks coffee. And who cant tell Starbucks is just raking in the dough? We all can buy coffee beans at the supermarket and know it doesnt cost anywhere near $5 per cup. Now when you buy that $5 cup of Starbucks coffee, you can feel better that you get some of that $5 back from your Starbucks stock.
