Every investor
has several characteristics that combine to make them successful. The
success rate depends on how well you can implement them and how well
your strategy works. How investors choose the stocks they want to hold
in their portfolio is probably one of the most important areas of being a
successful investor. For me personally, I have stuck to picking stocks
that lead, i.e. blue chip companies whose price history is in a
long-term uptrend and which themselves are performing better than the
market average. Another important part is the business plan. This
doesn't have to be overly complicated. You just need to know what to do
if the stock price goes up, down or sideways. If you can cover those
three things, then you have the unpredictability of anything the stock
price can throw at you. More importantly, you will avoid reacting to
sudden market swings that happen all the time. The trading plan should
also include the overall strategy for the stock you have chosen and
explain the reasons why you are doing what you are doing, i.e. why you
have decided to enter the order level at that particular point. You will
need a robust risk management strategy and to be successful in the long
term you will need to implement the strategy. The number of times I've
seen people unwilling to act on a risk management plan when the stock
price reaches its predetermined value is kind of scary. The above three
things are great, but remember to be disciplined in implementing them
you are setting yourself up for failure. And you should remember that
to be good are made in training. Not on the track. After
identifying these strategic factors, you should consider how much you
are willing to spend on each promotion. It is important to try to spend
the same amount on each stock, i.e. $5,000 in a portfolio of 10 stocks
in different industries to maintain a balanced portfolio. Finally,
before you decide to go ahead with any investment, you should assess
whether its return risk is worth it. There is no point in risking $1 and
trying to make 50 cents. I have stuck with the 1:3 ratio throughout my
investment life. For every dollar I risk, I make at least three, or if I
make $3,000 from the trade, then I'm willing to risk $1,000 to do it.
The reason for this ratio is that no matter how good you are, you will
always lose some of your investments. A ratio like this ensures that
when the investment take credit for making a profit and accept responsibility for any
losses. They learn from these decisions and improve over time; Create
investment or trading plans and stick to trading plans based
on reliable information in the clear, calm light of day and not on
emotional reactions that may arise from panic or euphoria in the stock
market. And he sticks to his plan; Assess the risk/reward ratio. And never lose too much; they know what to do if the price of
the stock being traded goes up, down or sideways. The stock price can do
nothing else. But you can do what you have planned. The plan then
dictates actions and prevents unprofitable emotional responses; Invest
your money only in financially secure companies; Buy stocks when they
are cheap and sell those that are expensive relative to their price
trends; Trade only with companies whose prices are rising; Trade without
emotion and have the discipline to trade with a plan. They plan
trade and trade with the plan; Keep pulling money out of the market. You
only make money when you sell shares; and have sufficient confidence
that has been gained from experience.
