I really do believe that anyone can attain wealth with only the basics of education. I know this because I've seen it firsthand. I've experienced it as well. What I have seen is that many Retail investors have very little knowledge about the stocks they purchase or trade on. This is quite risky, as at the end of the day the stock market is not a place to gamble with your hard earned money.
Don't think you have to know everything. It takes years to understand investing, and no one fully knows exactly what's happening all the time. You will make investment decisions with as many facts as you can assemble but you have to realize that you can never really know everything. One of the secrets to investing is learning your own trading method(s) that work for you. You will likely lose money during this learning process, but if this loss helps you achieve this level of understanding then you can financially afford the loss.
The stock market is a crazy thing to predict! Stocks are not necessarily priced at what you think the stock should be priced at. They are not even priced by how you think the market will react to the news. Experienced traders can make money jumping in and out of a stock that’s caught the public’s attention, but it’s not a game for the inexperienced. Short term traders buy a stock which is moving up hoping that it will move up and sell out to them at a later date.
If you can catch just two index points on an average day, you can make a comfortable living as a day Trader. Make several trades each day and have each position closed by the end of the market day. This practice is known as stock market day trading.

So find what works best for you and make a habit of doing your homework. You’ll trade more decisively and reap the benefits of daily preparation!

It’s so easy to get excited when a trade develops exactly like your plan. It’s equally easy to get frustrated and mad when a stock goes the wrong way. Trading is not always easy. They say if it were easy, everyone would be doing it. The truth is that there is as much chance of losing money in the stocks as there is of making money.
