Online Stock Trading – The One Must-Have Secret That Makes You A Better Stock Trader
By David A. Sorenger
I have started trading on the stock market with no experience and knowledge at all. I paid a high price for my ignorance. Today I know much more and I have learned what it takes to be successful. Every trade is still a tough battle though.
If I had to give you just one tip then it is this one: Buy low and sell high. I am not sarcastic. This is all it takes to make money. A simple truth but very difficult to do. It will probably take you several years before you can say that you have begun mastering this rule.
I just recently read an article in a science magazine about how human beings make decisions. The studies have shown that the more complex a problem is the more impossible it is to make a rational decision. People who decided by listening to their guts did solve complex problems much faster and surprisingly much better than rational people. A really amazing result.
Buy low and sell high is such a complex problem. I would say trading stocks is one of the most complicated things on earth simply because you have an unlimited number of variables. Nobody can predict even the next five seconds of stock quotes. But this is exactly what you must do. Predicting if it goes up or down.
But how do you solve this problem? The article suggested that you do extensive research first. Learn everything you possible can about the stock market and the stock you want to buy. Try to analyze the facts. Feed your brain with information. Then let it go. Do not think about it at all. Take a pause, at least a day or more. Then decide by using your intuition.
Why should you do that? Because your rational intellect makes only a small percentage of your overall brain power. The intellect can not solve complex problems but your subconscious mind can. This is not some esoteric guru nonsense. It is a simple truth that every scientist knows. Nobody knows how it works though. But trading stocks is such a complex problem.
