| One of the first things you need to know regarding investing online is, that no matter how far things have come for the individual investor you are still at a disadvantage trading in the markets. Beyond the extensive knowledge and skill level you will need to aquire to trade profitably, you will be trading against professionals. The major brokerage houses, sector analyst, money managers, floor specialist's, and the institutions move the market, and let's not forget those computerized trading programs. Sure any major news event can move markets around the world, but how this news gets interpreted and which stocks it affects is clearly given from the above group. Whether it's a rise in interest rates or a individual company or sector news, the above provide direction. The institutions, brokerage houses, professional traders have access to news and information far further in advance then the individual investor could ever hope to get. They have sophisticated technical trading programs, dedicated technical analysts, analysts that specialize in each market sector, and lot's and lot's of cash to make major moves in any stock. Their deep pockets can ride out the up and downs of fast moving volatile markets far longer than any small individual investor could last particularly if that investor is trading on margin. So what to do? Do your own research, learn a combined skill level of both fundamental and technical analysis. Learn proper order entry and exit strategies. Develope discipline and trading strategies that are easy to control and work for you. While your goal is to make money you'll need to learn how not to lose money, through money management and effective use of defensive stop orders. As your skill level rises call and put options can also serve as a hedge against risk. (but only for the skilled). Something else to consider "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" start off small. Until your confidence and skill level improve. Lastly keep your emotions in check, try not to overeact to both good and bad news. Treat trading as running your own business. |
