Don’t care if the markets are going up, down or sideways. Find opportunities to make money regardless of conditions. Don’t feel guilty about what you’ve failed to accomplish. Feel energized about what you now can achieve. The goal is to turn a profit and make money. Don’t insist on being right! If you try a stock a couple of times and it’s not cooperating, move on to the next trading idea.
Why don't we just accept things the way they are?
Some people invest aggressively, preferring riskier stock that might give a larger and quicker reward which is very close to offensive investment. Offensive investing ignores or minimizes stock market risk as it looks to make rapid gains, mostly follow day to day market trend without following guidelines. Remember to keep in mind that Low levels of uncertainty (low risk) are associated with low potential returns. Trading is all about risk and probabilities.
Day traders are practically immune to the uncertainties of the stock market. If you can catch just two index points on an average day, you can make a profit as a day Trader. Make several trades each day and have each position closed by the end of the market day. 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!
You probably realize by now that buy-and-hold investing isn't going to make you a lot of money these days. In fact, it would be impossible to get rich using that single strategy. There are a lot of short-term concerns, a lot of serious risks, but investors really need to keep their eyes on the horizon, because we are also seeing strong fundamentals. And that is what is driving the market longer term. Prices are no doubt in a bit of a slump. I see this as a buying opportunity, but in all honesty, we don't know when the market is going to turn back.
Take care and all the best!
Happy trading
