Here are some common mistakes made in the stock market. I hope readers will take note and avoid them:-
Holding on to a falling stock hoping to get out even or a small gain. (In most cases, the hope becomes hopeless).
Buying in a downtrend or compounding your error by averaging down indiscreetly.
Buying penny stocks without knowing their intrinsic value
Buying on tips and rumors or tagging long with friends
Buying a share because of its name
Not knowing how to select good solid companies
Not knowing what is good advice
Not using charts and being afraid to buy stocks that are trending up
Taking profits too quickly
Speculating more than one can afford to lose
Overestimating one’s own ability (Don’t be the praying mantis thinking it can block a car)
Approaching the market wrongly.
Trying to make the maximum amount of money in the least possible time.
Not realizing that investing intelligently is the right approach.
Not learning from one’s mistakes and that of others..
Fortunes are made and fortunes are lost in the stock market. If you want to be a winner, be serious about it. Don’t go in for fun, but for the fund.
Happy investing.
马 到 功 成. Success is when the horses come. Success goes only to those who dare and act, it seldom goes to the timid. The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
