Stock market for beginners
Expect no mercy from the stock market ; in fact, think of it as something that is there to take away your money, unless you take steps to protect yourself. You can fret and sweat over losses caused by taking excessive risk; you can also torture yourself about selling too late or listening to your advisor or friends, or indeed not listening to them. In short, you can be sorry about so many things in so many ways. These are lessons that growing retail investors will have to learn. The market is a place where anything can happen.
Learn from the past, treasure the past, but don’t let it hold you. Just because you’ve had a negative experience doesn’t mean you must maintain a negative attitude. Just because things have not been going your way is no reason to stop.
Opportunities multiply as they are seized; they die when neglected. Being negative all the time will make you miss the bus. Try to be active at the right time to gain something.
Experience comes from mistakes. Make mistakes. Fail. Learn. Fall. Pick yourself up. Repeat. Don’t quit.
Good luck and safe trading
