Why Do Traders Really Lose Money? Answer: It's Not the Market's Fault / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: EWI
And 1 FREE course on how to help you stop self-sabotaging "good enough" trade plans
I have always been a "who cares about the odds" kinda person. Meaning, if someone tells me the likelihood of succeeding at, say, learning to skateboard at 40, are low, it just makes me want to try it more. Otherwise, why would I say yes to a marriage proposal to someone I met online, who lives in a farm in rural Georgia, 3 months into us dating amidst a global pandemic?
If you believe Wall Street's statistics about the odds of success as a trader, yet still choose to speculate in the financial markets anyway, a part of you must be of that same "odds-schmods" mindset. Because according to the mainstream experts, the probability of traders losing money in the long run is between an abysmal 85% and 95%.

How to Really Get RICH - Change the Way You THINK! / InvestorEducation / How to Guides
By: Nadeem_Walayat
This is part 1 of 2 of my exclusive to patrons brain dump guide on How to REALLY Get RICH that I will seek to update and improve upon on an annual basis. The focus of Part 1 will be on changing the way you think because time and time again whenever I talk to ordinary folk it can be like I am conversing with a different species of human, I get asked questions such as Why do I need all that money, why don't I live in a mansion (a 6 bed house is more than adequate), why don't I buy a lambo or other junk, I mean stuff like gold jewelry and fancy watches to me are just junk, instead most folk obsess over junk. Clearly we are not on the same wave length and I can find it mind numbing engaging in such conversations which tends to make me want to avoid such folk in the future.Yes getting rich tends to make one arrogant, it's because people who are not rich try and give someone who is a lot richer than them advice on what they should do with their wealth because that's what they who don't have much would do, either that or they want me to be in the same debt laden sinking ship as them! This is why the rich don't mix with ordinary folk because they don't think the same way, it can be mind numbing to explain that which one takes for granted, so the starting point towards getting rich is to CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK!

How to Profit From the Smart Money Footprints / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Submissions
By Justin Spittler Imagine you’re sitting at a bar in Manhattan.
As the bartender’s making your drink, you overhear a conversation from the table behind you.
Two well-dressed men are talking. One looks familiar. He’s a hedge fund manager you’ve seen on TV.
You don’t recognize the other guy. But, from the sound of it, they work together.

Why Most investors Underperform the Indices / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Time and time again I hear this mistake in the comments section, S&P is going down down should I sell x,y,z, stock and buy back later. As I often voice the indices such as the S&P are a red herring, ask anyone heavily invested in the likes of Apple, Nvidia or Microsoft and so on, The S&P is definitely not of much use for timing purposes in terms of accumulating and distributing as we saw this past week opps to distribute in the likes of MGNI and accumulate in the likes of Qualcom. So keep things in perspective, the indices are just that indices, a metric to gauge the direction of travel on an average basis and to perhaps swing trade the index but they are not that useful for buying and selling individual stocks, in fact can prove highly dangerous! For instance if the S&P looks toppy and a stock breaks higher then the investor might sell the strong stock. (META) as the index was heading lower. Similar for when the index is going up and a stock starts falling and the investor buys on perception that the stock is now cheaper (SVB).

HOW to INVEST - THE POWER OF TRIMMING! / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Nadeem_Walayat
As a reminder when I see an opportunity to buy target stocks at deep discounts then I don't tend to flinch and buy the panics, the falling knives, even if takes me to well beyond my target exposure as has been the case for many stocks during the bear market of 2022 because of what will likely follow, a rally to TRIM.
The objectives is to bank profits and free up cash for future buys, as my target is to be approx 15% in cash (current 7.2%), as with many things I take trimming for granted and assume everyone does the same to some degree i.e. the more target stocks fall the more I buy with a view to engage in trimming during a subsequently rally. If you don't trim then it is something you need to adopt as part of your investment strategy as over time it does add up! Substantially for two reasons -

What type of trader or investor are you? / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Trading and investing are much more complex and challenging than most people think. While countless books have been written about how to trade and invest, most skip over what I consider to be the foundation and most important area – You!
The Brutal Truth
The financial markets are driven by fear and greed. Most individuals find this costly as they get sucked into large news-driven moves in the market that often quickly reverse direction. Or they fall in love with a stock or commodity and decide they can’t sell even when it’s pulling their entire account balance down, causing serious financial harm.

CHANGE the Way You Think About Profit and Loss / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Nadeem_Walayat
From the comments section many patrons appear eager to trim holdings. However, this is a dangerous game and mindset to have one of selling on a few percent gain on fears that that smaller profit will evaporate into a loss.
Think about it?
If you follow this investing mindset what kind of portfolio will you end up with?
You will have a portfolio where you have sold all of your winners and are only left holding losers!
This is probably down to the way humans are hardwired to avoid pain, i.e. eat the food now rather than it be stolen or lost in the future.

How Elliott Waves Work with Individual Stocks / InvestorEducation / Elliott Wave Theory
By: EWI
"The primary value of the Wave Principle is that it provides a context for market analysis"
Elliott waves reflect the repetitive patterns of mass psychology -- so they are ideally suited for analyzing the widely traded main stock indexes.
On the other hand, thinly traded individual stocks may not trace out Elliott wave price patterns nearly as well.
That said, there are many individual stocks which are widely traded -- like most of the big and well-known companies (and others which have captured the interest of investors).

STOCKS BEAR MAKRETS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PAINFUL! / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The bottom line is that bear markets are supposed to be PAINFUL! And I can tell many investors feel that PAIN from the comments as they post the latest price of say Intel or AMD or TSMC or any other stock trading lower as if I have a magic button to press to make the stock go higher. So if you are feeling PAIN then go read my earlier recent articles on the psychology of investing in bear markets because bear markets are PAINFUL where the degree of pain experienced depends on what time frame on is focused upon.

What Don’t They Tell You About Online Trading? / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Sumeet_Manhas
Traders come in all shapes and sizes, but we can narrow it down to two types. There are risk takers and those who play it safe. By definition, trading is a risky undertaking. It always has been. Despite our best efforts, it’s impossible to predict the direction and magnitude of price movements at any time. We use a variety of trading tools and resources to gauge the performance of the markets. These include technical and fundamental analysis.
By and large, trading platforms sell the hype with lofty promises of significant returns and comfortable retirements. Regardless, there are no guarantees. Stakeholders in the financial markets – particularly those with something to gain from unsuspecting traders and investors, are single-minded. They want to generate as much profit as possible in double-quick time. Hence the presence of fraudsters, shell companies, and less than honest financial reporting.
