Don’t make the mistake of doing this emotionally. There are
some great stories that end in tragedy and heartbreak (as well as broke-ness)
from people who invested their money emotionally. Take all of the emotion out
of it. This isn’t a game you want to play when under a hot head or heavy heart.
You need to use your mind to invest properly. You have to really understand and
analyze things with a special attention to detail. You need to really be on
your game.
When I first got into investing, I didn’t know where to
begin. I played games and bought and sold stocks based on “gut feeling.” And
although sometimes and some people are able to take advantage of that “gut
feeling.” It’s not always the best indicator of success in any financial market.
You really need to differentiate between a gut feeling based on fact and data
and analysis, and a gut feeling based on emotional attachment to a particular
type of investment.
Don’t make the same mistakes I did when I first started out
selling bonds, and trading stocks. I was a fool-hearted moron who lost a lot of
money. But having said that, my early days as an investment trader were full of
life lessons I’ve carried with me throughout my entire amateur career as an
investor in financial markets around the globe. I learned a lot of things that
I still use today.
