Present continuous

in today's video I'm gonna quickly show you how to buy and sell stocks using the

To-infinitive

Robinhood app which is so easy to do but there's a few things that you need

Future simple

to understand first I'll briefly explain how they're free sign up shares work and

then I'll also show you how to lightly research a company using Robinhood then

I'll show you how to buy and sell stocks using Robinhood's so that you can see

for yourself how easy it is to do they're not the best choice for every

type of investor but if you do want to get free trades and have a really easy

platform to use then definitely try Robin Hood now if you just found this

channel I'm Jason with honest finance and I make a lot of videos on different

topics that'll give your life and your finances more value so definitely

subscribe if you're into this type of content but now let's just hop onto my

phone and I'm gonna show you how to buy and sell shares using Robin Hood okay so

once you're inside the app the way that the free stock thing works is just if

you refer someone to Robin Hood using your special link then you get a free

stock and they get a free stock so it's just kind of a win-win and I did leave

my referral link in the description so if you guys want to use that then you

can get a stock and I can get a stock but really if you've got friends that

are already using Robin Hood just use their referral link because then you

guys can both benefit from it and the cool thing is is once you're signed up

then you can do the same thing so I've got a free stock here for inviting

Samuel so thank you Samuel this is how it works you just claim the

free stock and you're gonna choose one of these three question marks just like

a stupid Las Vegas thing and then you scratch it out and we'll see so it looks

like I got sprint which is worth 571 and honestly I have never gotten anything

over ten bucks but that's my luck I have had some guys in the comments tell me

that they've got shares that are worth over a hundred bucks so maybe you'll be

one of the lucky ones but I haven't been so far and then before I get into all

the research stuff I do want to let you know that with the free shares you can't

actually sell those stocks for three full trading days so just keep that in

mind and then if you ever do want to get your cash for them you have to wait a

full thirty days and those are the full rules for that kind of stuff so if you

do get a free share just keep in mind that those are the two rules with them

but that's about it so as far as searching for a stock let's do that

right now I'm just going to look for Pepsi because I know that I don't own

them I'll show you guys how to do some quick

research on robhinhood so you can just type in Pepsi if you don't know the

ticker symbol and you'll be able to find it so right here PepsiCo PEP is the

ticker let's go into that and it looks like they are trading at 120 709 right

now the markets closed so you're not going to see any fluctuation so anyways

127 oh nine is what they're at per share this is just looking at a one-day graph

by default so let's move it over to a five-year this is as far as we can go on

Robinhood which honestly is good but I wish that they could go back further and

I would even say ten years would be good but lifetime is really good as well so

we're gonna look at Pepsi over the last five years and just by looking at this

graph on a very basic basic amount of research it looks like they are a very

healthy company from the looks of this chart however it does also look like

they're probably overvalued just like the rest of the stock market

that's just how everything is right now it's everything is very expensive so

looking at this one 2709 the whole saying buy low sell high

you're definitely not doing that right now you would be buying high but if you

do more research and you just feel like it's just gonna keep going up then go

for it maybe now is the time to get in but honestly I would wait for a

correction and then put your cash into a company but that is just me so anyways

the stats that Robinhood gives you if you scroll down just a little bit you

can see some basic stats on the last 52 weeks the open the high and the low for

the day but really I am just looking at the two on the bottom right which are

the p/e ratio and the dividend yield and this still doesn't give you much

information but it does at least give you something the p/e ratio is the price

to earnings ratio which is basically how much a cost per share is relative to how

much money they're actually making so this is basically saying that a share

right now is 14 times more expensive than what they're actually making and

typically I like to have the p/e ratio as low as I can get it but it all

depends on the industry that you're looking at too because if we checked

coca-cola and theirs was a 20 then Pepsi would actually be looking better

than Coke but that's how you'd be looking at the p/e ratio and honestly I

just say anything below 15 is probably a little

bit better on your side looking at those kind of numbers so and then the dividend

yield this is just how much they're gonna be paying you as far as a

percentage of the shares per year to own them so 3.25% is what they are currently

paying based on the current numbers so if you bought a share for 127 bucks then

throughout the year probably four times a year from Pepsi

they are gonna pay you a quarter of that 3.25%

and so those are the two numbers that you can look at with robhinhood and then

if you check down here they'll also have different articles and things you can

check on just to see if maybe there's some more information on the type of

information that you're looking at so and then we've got the analyst ratings

36% say by 60% say hold 4% say so this is as basic as it gets I wouldn't even

look at any of this kind of information but they do have it there if you want to

look at it they've got their earnings right here based on how everything's

looking you can see the dark grey dots those are what we were expecting and

then it looks like we were actually a lot higher than that so those are quick

indicators on the quarterly results to tell you how the company's doing

relative to what people thought they were going to be doing so that's good as

well you keep scrolling down you can get people also bought so just you know

making it easier for you to find other companies that people were buying as

well as Pepsi and then it looks like they have little lists of stocks that

you can look in and then they'll have an about PepsiCo which they're not going to

give you much information here just a short little snippet of what they do

what they own how many employees they have and all that stuff and that is as

deep as you can go on Robinhood and honestly if you guys want to learn how

to research stocks more than that you're gonna have to check a lot more resources

so that you can learn a lot more about it but you can start with Yahoo Finance

and you can also go to the investor relations relations pages on the actual

websites anyways you can go directly to the companies themselves or you can go

to Yahoo Finance and that's what that's what I would recommend you do so anyways

let me show you now how to buy and sell a stock on Robin

and this is so easy let's buy Pepsi right now for one 2709

so we're just gonna click buy right down here on the bottom right and we're gonna

say one share and so I actually know how much money I have in my account if you

look up at the top it says 3383 available and that is because that's how
