The stock market is investing or type of gambling?

admin — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 12:23:35 +0000

My friends and family think that my intention to earn money by investing in the stock market is a stupid job, no better than roulette in the casino. How can I prove to them that this is not so?
Thank you!

The best way you can show them that stock market investing is superior to gambling is to follow through on your wish and prove you can create wealth through your actions. However, I would hope that proving something to others would not rank high on your wish list. Stock work is incredibly demanding and doesn’t leave much room for trying to justify things for the sake of others with their prejudices.

Years ago, I was accused of gambling, too. I was angry and hurt and also confused. I took a small amount of money and opened a brokerage account with it. Over a period of time I managed to grow that seed into a sizable lump. That was fifteen years ago. I’ve been self sustaining ever since—dependent upon my stock trades. I stopped all other work to devote myself to investment research and trading exclusively.

At times, things are challenging but I’ve learned that the more study I do, the more I read and explore when it comes to preparing to buy a particular stock pick, the better I do. There are times when I’ve got to anticipate the impact of political or geopolitical events on particular holdings. Likewise, there are times to be especially aware of my own network of fears and inner cautionary devices because I wouldn’t want them to control me or those whom I advise in their investment programs.

Key to success, then, is acute awareness of myself and my foibles along with intense understanding of each company’s history, balance sheet, story, management successes and failures, business model, business plan, and above all: I’ve got to have everything committed to memory so that I can call up any bits of important information that might explain lurking success or failure just around the corner.

None of this is dependent upon luck, mind you—it’s rock solid study and preparation. Then again, I’ve never had a losing year. I suspect that those who view stock work as gambling never applied themselves to it as though a dignified profession based on good instincts, intellectual application and level-headed business sense. It is that and far more as it demands much more than I’m capable of regularly producing. For that reason alone, I find it exhilarating and wonderful.

If you’re so inclined, my advice would be to "Just do it!"

I need some good stock investing strategies that work to make you rich? Please help/advise. Thanks.?

admin — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 09:16:14 +0000

I am 18 and new to the stock markets. I have read books on it though. I am also an investor in penny or AIM listed oil companies. I want to become a milllionaire before age 30, and I’m looking for some proven stock investing strategies to get me there. Does anybody know of any proven stock investing strategies that work to make you rich? What about trend trading, and if so, on what types of stocks?

Gambling has nothing to do with the stock market. Unfortunately, those that equate the stock market to gambling, do it based on their own experiences of losing money in the stock market. This doesn’t "prove" that the stock market is a gambling mechanism. It only proves that they didn’t posses the basic intellect needed in order to make informed decisions based on factual evidence.

For hundreds of years, us humans have valued subjects based on our own personal experiences and not taking into consideration the very plausible fact that rather than that particular item having a lacking quality, it very well could have been us that had the lacking quality in our basic use of logic. I often find this to be true with people who purchase stocks and subsequently lose all their money. The first to be blamed is usually the stock market itself, then the Government, then the television commentators, then the blog site in which the investor received the "free" stock tip, and so on and so forth. The last person we often blame is ourselves because, unfortunately, a stupid person is usually the last person to realize that he is stupid.

The fact is, 80% of those who purchase stocks end up losing money. But, there is a small group who make money consistently by using common sense and patients. These people are called Value Investors.

In closing, you can’t be stupid and make money in the stock market. There are a lot of crooked people who work in this industry, but none of them are stupid. If you’ve failed at everything else in your life, at this job and that one, don’t expect to be successful at making money in the stock market. It takes intelligence, time, and a strong passion. If you lack one of them and don’t have all three of them, I guarantee you – you’ll be just another statistic of someone who purchased a stock and didn’t know what they were doing. Then, you can complain on a message board similar to this one and tell people the stock market is just a "gambling" casino when the fact is you aren’t intelligent enough to be purchasing stocks to begin with.
