When I come across anyone who ever heard of putting money into the stock market as an amateur I always hear horror stories!
“I lost over 20k”, “I took a loan out and lost it all–now I am 25k in debt,” “I have never won anything in the stock market–I just keep on losing it all”!
I was in SHOCK! Yes, I am fully aware of the infamous statistic that over 90% of retail traders will lose their money in the stock market –but I didn’t know how so many women close to me had attempted trading before.
In this modern age, full of the latest tech –stock trading is easily accessible. You can download a trading app, make an account, and immediately start trading. Think about this question. –> If in a few years from now, our technology and medical advancement had evolved so fast that now you could download an app that would allow you to get brain surgery on yourself by configuring the cells in your brain–would you jump to do this without first investing a significant amount in learning how to do this?
Of course not! Just like anything else done properly, in order to be successful at trading–you must invest a significant amount in learning how to do so in order to reap the rewards. Yes, the stock market is a money-making machine to those who know how to wield it but it’s totally the opposite if you foolishly dive in with no direction, or worse by following the advice of a charlatan. In this world, unfortunately, there are much more scammers on this subject. Fortunately, there is a lot of information out with legitimate information–just don’t get sucked into charm and charisma. There are several reasons beginner investors fail, according to an article written by the

Is There A Catch To Trading In The Stock Market Successfully?
Of course, there is a catch! The catch is that not only do you have to know the technicalities of trading, but you have to develop your emotional intelligence, and mindset to an extremely high level. In stock trading, trading psychology and emotional intelligence is much more important than all the trading skills in the world. You will need both, but if you manage to keep your mindset up–you will be unstoppable!
Once you invest in the stock market, it can be tempting to sit back and watch your portfolio grow. However, if you want to truly succeed as an investor, it’s important to continue learning and expanding your knowledge about the stock market.
