A high percentage of investors are losing money when day trading. In today’s video I talk about 2 main reasons and my suggestions on how to not fall for this.

 

  1. Trying to Get Rich Quick; aka: Greed

This is what happens when investors try to outsmart the stock market with constant buying and selling to make fast profits.Especially when you see those so-called gurus  that are trying to sell their courses on day trading. They show off money, fancy cars, or exotic travel, and you think it’s easy money. But 99% of the time, you’ll lose money following their advice. Ignore the get rich quick pitches or the “must have” investments, you should be focused on your long-term investment growth.  If you chose to buy an investment, do so because you want to hold it long term. 

  1. Letting Emotions Drive Investing Decisions

We are humans and having emotions is natural, it is a GOD given quality.But with investing, emotions tend to create very costly mistakes that drive bad decisions. Here are a few things that only amplify your emotions: Media scares you, stock market fluctuations go up and down, there are many experts telling you what to do, your attachment to specific assets.It is very difficult not to make emotional decisions. Instead of playing with individual stocks, pick a good index fund/mutual fund and keep investing every month whether the stock market is up or down.

 

Do not be one of the statistics. Instead chose long term investing in great index/mutual funds.

 

My wife and I wrote the book: “LIFE LESSONS: From A Wiser Me to A Younger Me” In this book, we go into details of what were the biggest lessons we have learned up until now. Our intention for writing the book was for people to learn from it and not repeat the same mistakes we did. Also what we have learned in 10, 20 years, could be compressed in a few days of you reading the book. So there is a lot to gain :)
