The term "investment" covers a wide range of concepts, including stocks, bonds, futures, forex and derivatives such as options and options on futures. selected for an investor who manage themselves at least part of its investment portfolio, is the enormous diversity and the methods you can invest in these vehicles is to be incredible. But here are 7 concepts that I think you will find useful if you are considering investing in the world markets.
1) The money is made onNow, not yours. I use the same approach to Real Estate Investing. As a successful investor you need a plan. This typically begins with an assumption of value, a time line and one or possibly several exit options. Write your plan for the individual investments. If the investment differ framework starts from the goal or plan, then uPDAte the plan or final position. Make a decision you need or smaller. A "wait and see" plan is a plan for a plan not a plan. Tradingbe used to make $ 50 or $ 80 per trip. Now they are generally less than $ 20 and often less than $ 10. It is cheap and sell cheap to buy but expensive to maintain in a position that has gone against the plan.
2) Take your worst enemy's best friend. The markets are volatile and move every day. Invest with money you do not have is not a fun experience, where the markets in order is not complied with your wishes. Gearing is a tool, but make sure you understand if it serves you or put you onRisk.
3) The information is always preferred weapons. Investing in the markets can be divided into three ideas to consider for each trade. Information, strategy and risk appetite. But information is the key. For this reason, there are thousands of resources to the business section of a newspaper, lots of "stuff" on the Internet trading systems, mapping software, private investment managers and the popular rumors, rumors andconfidential sources. Its critical role as self-managed investor confidence deserves looking information. Like any information will tell you how everything you find on this site, they are not recommend something and ask you to consult qualified financial advisor. It is easier to sell to earn money to buy information on markets, as it actually operates in the markets. Choose your sources carefully.
4) strategies used in this game where the money just keptScore. In every game there is a strategy. In Monopoly, that all of their Park Place and Boardwalk. Now, these two properties is not a strategy. How do they end up owning you. Markets allow you to go on the first day and buy what ever you want and can afford. If you owned them? What are the main factors that you consider buying what you want to think or to sell what you have? Here is a free strategy for you to use that I guarantee if you rent it, you will not lose money.If a stock doubles, sell half. This is good advice I can assure you, but totally useless if you do not own a stock has doubled. I can go to this pearl of wisdom with something equally ridiculous. Buying a stock that can be doubled. A mountain of books have been written about strategies. You need more than a few, their objectives, and match interests, and that all important elements, your risk tolerance.
5) For risk-taking, Only you can stop forest fires, Smokey Bear asConsulting works really well in the stock market. The difference is, the fire always burning, and you must decide when to put water on it. How much heat you can tolerate. If a stock falls 10%, that in your plan? If it jumps by 50% in a month, you are happy, happy, interested, scared, or do you have a level of 50% conversion to a hope for 100%. Here, a conversation with a financial advisor is can be very helpful. Your risk is of losing not only about how much you are willing, butwhat do you mean a loss. If you sell stocks to 50% profit to get out of, or crazy, if the stock keeps running at 100% now, do you think you've "lost" 50% or did you earn 50%. Emotion can be a cruel companion.
6) A qualified financial advisor qualified registered and / or certified financial advisor, who is legally permitted to buy and sell specific investment advice recommended is approved knowledge on the financing and how the structure and strategiesMarkets work and they should be time to understand your investment goals and level of understanding. But here's a little secret that he does not know more than anyone else where the markets go today, tomorrow or next year. If he did, he would not need a job to advise you. The good will usually say that they constantly give you 7% per year over the long term. The "Looney Tune nutbars will 'tell you how can they account for 20%, year after year to make. Good luck! Investment adviceby others, including some think that you, the advice of this site, or recommend another source, so all you are looking for a certified financial advisor. Then do it! I'm sure the blog section of the site will eventually fall prey to some shady stock promoter looking to pump his latest project, and you could be the next sucker. It's your money and a financial advisor must be a part of your financial management strategy. Here's the second secret. I am not a certified financial advisorI have no idea where the markets go, and I also have a real job because I can not live invest in the markets.
7) Time is the great equalizer, I saw her an interesting image for a few years that showed that had invested about 1963 to 1981, when the American markets in that time you would have made exactly 0%. Nothing! I'm sure you've heard that in the long run, markets for the top. Well, that sounds like a 18 year long term. Add to that inflation0% took a beating on the value of your investment. But if you happen to buy into the market in late 1990, you could have tripled your money in a few years ago, or were at 0% by your positions just 4 months back.
So, why do you invest in the markets? Good, because apart from these two extreme examples of a well-managed strategy to support your wealth, maybe even grow, and with some good, solid money management ideas that might not solveeither market crises, inflation, taxes, or all three. Training is available for the taking and you can get it in two ways: 1), or 2) Buy to pay without it. I think the second way is painful, but you do not tend to forget once you learned your lesson. As the saying goes, if you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
