Just started investing in the stock market at 33. I plan on retiring in 25 - 30 years. Can anyone lend any quick tips to get this ball rolling fast. I’m looking for good short and long term options.

Only buy stocks that are going to go up.

What ball?

There are no short term options for investing. If you want to trade, go figure it out, but you’re likely to lose money.

The only winning strategy I know of is time in the market. Maximize that and you’ll do just fine.

Unless you know what you’re doing, S&P 500 index funds are the way to go in my opinion.

I just listen to what Jim Cramer has to say on Mad Money and buy immediately the next day. He's a former Goldman Sachs trader, hedge fund manager, and an expert in the field so you know his advice is solid.

The best answer to stock market tips is...

Save more.

Cut costs or earn more income but the biggest determination of your portfolio value is when you start and how much you put in. Stay diverse.

If you see a poster named Husss offer advice, always do the opposite and you'll be fine...

The easiest advice is to maximize your 401K employer match and then go into the platform (Schwab, Fidelity, whatever) and get several low-cost index funds. It might not work over 3 years, but it’s as good as any strategy with far less risk and cost over 20.

Make putting money into the market a habit. Set up a monthly transfer from your bank into one or two mutual funds and forget about them. Do that for both taxable and retirement funds.

Plenty of other stuff you can do too, and there are nuances even with that simple thing, and everybody you ask will tell you something different, but make that a baseline.
