Hi. I'm new to this. I've been considering investing in stock, bonds, gold, or something for a while now. The idea has come up on and off over the years, but now I feel serious about doing it.
I've seen the educational section on this forum, and think it would be great to look through it later on when I have enough time. I promise I will look through it.
Right now I was just hoping someone could answer the questions that have been bouncing around in my head the past few days.
1. Do I have to pay taxes on stocks that I buy or own? Or do I only pay taxes on them when I sell them?
2. Do you think a grocery store would be a good stock purchase at this point in time?
3. Would I have to pay any money after buying stocks (not when I sell it)? Like if its value declines or some other situation?
