Welcome

I’m individual investor for 2 years. I’m investing a real money on the stock exchange. Earlier I spent 2 years on portals offering the game on the virtual stock exchange.

Are you thinking how to start your investment adventure? If yes this hub is for you.

The first lesson: risk

Saying straightest. Risk is a current sacrifice for the uncertain benefit in the future.

The risk of loss of your money on the stock exchange is huge. Risk management is one of the most important thing you should learn if you’re starting your investments. How much money you can risk in transaction? It’s very important question. Watch movie about risk management.

The second lesson: profit

Do you know what’s the difference between secure bank deposit and investments on the stock exchange?

Return is the most important difference. That’s why you should learn about investing. Learn how to manage your own money. Don't give them back into unauthorized hands. The learning of investment will bring you the bigger profit in the future.

Golden rules:

1. More action=more risk

2. More risk=huge profit

3. Huge risk=longer time of investment(sometimes)

Differences

Bank deposit
Stock exchange 
Low profit 
Huge profit 
Small risk 
Huge risk 
Limited fluidity 
Great fluidity 

The third lesson: how the stock exchange works?

I’ll give you good answer by making good picture.

Allocation

Interpretation

Stock exchange is place where split capital is being transferred by the stock exchange to companies. In theory this is effective allocation. For example you have money and you don’t know how to use them effectively but companies know how to create business that will bring you profit if you can give your money for them.

The fourth lesson: experience

You can say ok but I don’t know how to start. Yes I know it’s hard without any practice make great profit. However I know the solution. It’s virtual investing. You can create account on site which offers free virtual stock exchange. It’s very useful because you learn how to invest without risking your own money. You can use this site

The fifth lesson: psyche

I’m investing money for 2 years and I know how hard is to survive great fall on market. I lost much money but thanks to this I learnt, that I have influence only for three things:

1. When to buy

2. When to sell

3. When to stop

I learnt that I can’t say: Hey you market stop now. I’m loosing money. You have only three exits: buy, sell or no action.

You must understand that your bad humour doesn’t change anything but can only bring you to depression. That’s why you should always remember about this three rules.

Tips

The six lesson: Strategy

It’s the most important thing. You need to create your own strategy adapted for you.

Without strategy you’ll loose all your money. I’m sure. You should learn what is technical analysis and fundamental analysis. You should know everything about trend. You should learn a lot to create good trading strategy but learning can be your best profit.

You should create your own system and ask a few questions.

 

When I should buy?

 

When I should sell?

 

What conditions a market must have if you’re supposed to do the trade?

Investment strategy

Last lesson: do it

 You can do it. You can be great investor!

I appreciate your writing effort on the issue of risk management. Stock trading is risky but the knowledge and application of risk management speaks a lot on where the trader will be in the long run. It is pertinent to always set a stop loss when you open a position. Your stop loss should be the percentage you are willing to loose if the flow go against you.

Recently, i bought a stock BGP. Due to bad news relating to bankruptcy, the stock fell sharply loosing over 40%. Had it been i didn't use stop loss on the trade, that would have been a pretty loss for me.
