The Reality of Stock Market Corrections and What to Consider / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Steve_Selengut
Every correction is the same, a normal downturn in one or more of the Markets where we invest. There has never been a correction that has not proven to be an investment opportunity. You can be confident that the Federal Reserve, as hypnotized as it is with keeping inflation under control, is not going to cause either a financial panic or a prolonged recession with tight money and high interest rate policies. While everything is down in price, as it is now, there is little to worry about. When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping. Read full article... Read full article...

Taking Action is the Key to Trading Success / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Nazy_Massoud
How to Deal With Invisible Fences in Your Trading - I was watching a rerun of "Sex and the City." If you are not familiar with the series, it is about 4 single women living in Manhattan and what they went through in their daily lives.
In any case, these city girls went to suburbia for a party. They were passing by a house and saw a dog. One of them gestured for the dog to come to her. The dog came to a certain point and then went back. She was stunned by what had happened. She could not figure out why the dog retreated when he seemed to be interested. She started to take it personally. Then one of her friends explained that there was an invisible electronic fence around the house...

Traders - Get a Mental Edge to Avoid Tripping Yourself Up! / InvestorEducation / Trader Psychology
By: Nazy_Massoud
Have you been in situations where you had several winning trades which were wiped out by one losing trade?
Have these become a pattern?
Like some of my clients, you may be saying, “I have spent hours creating my plan.” Then you start the day with every intention of following it. After a few losing trades, you lose your control and with that, your plans go out the window. You try to make up for your losses by chasing after deals and increasing the size of your trades.

By: Zeal_LLC
Are you interested in trading in the stock markets? Do you have questions about getting started? You are certainly not alone. Almost weekly I hear from ordinary folks with basic questions about trading stocks. After addressing these on a consulting basis for years, I'll outline some of the basics in this essay.
The Rewards of Stock Trading
Trading stocks is an incredibly rewarding journey. Everyone is intrigued by the stock markets because traders can make big money there. This is certainly true. But the potentially extraordinary financial winnings are not the most gratifying part of trading stocks. The best part is really the endless learning and personal growth that trading naturally generates. Trading is a most-fascinating voyage of discovery.
