Trading Markets Trap #1 Failure to Preserve Financial and Neuropsychiatric Capital / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Dr_Janice_Dorn
WHY YOU WIN AND WHY YOU LOSE:
TRADING TRAPS AND HOW TO GET OUT OF THEM
Estimates are that 75-95% of all traders lose all their trading capital in the first year, and only about 5-10% of those that get into trading are able to stay profitable on a consistent basis after 5 years. This is not encouraging. However, since the majority of people tend to be overconfident, most believe that they are not going to be among the casualties.

Bonds Crash as Stock Markets Bounce / InvestorEducation / US Bonds
By: Levente_Mady
The bond market traded sharply lower again last week as tiny glimmers of hope appeared on the horizon indicating that the worst of the financial upheaval for this month might be behind us. After a record breaking crash in equities during the first third of October, stocks actually managed to show some gains last week as some metrics of financial distress such as elevated LIBOR levels, 0% Treasury Bill yields and record premiums for Credit Default Swaps managed to subside a tad. We are far from normal on most fronts but at least for the moment it appears that the sky has stopped falling! Read full article... Read full article...

By: Richard_Shaw
In a recent post , we studied 82 years of price change for the S&P 500. One of our readers commented, “I read somewhere that over 80% of all five year periods dating back to the Great Depression has seen the market ahead; over 95% for ten year periods.”
