HOW TO OWN STOCKS THAT DO WELL

An understanding of the stock market is one of the most vital components to increasing your wealth, as you will have a hard time getting the most out of the stock market if you do not understand it – but while many people make an effort to understand the stock market by reading books and studying up on the nuances of the way the stock market works, they fail to ever gain the basic, foundational knowledge they will need in the long run in order to achieve stock market success. And while making money in the stock market – that is, owning stocks that will do well – is not quite “as easy as one-two-three,” it is actually a lot easier than a lot of people realize or think, as long as you know some things that you should always keep in mind!

In reading and studying how the stock market works, one of the biggest mistakes people make is that they start investing and start studying at the same time; not only should you spend plenty of time studying a particular stock before you ever commit to adding it to your portfolio, but you should also spend plenty of time studying investing principles in general before you ever enter into the stock market.

The next thing you should spend time on, after you have taken the time to study and understand the stock market and the stocks you hope to purchase, is practice; there are tools on many websites that allow you to use “practice money” (that is, a theoretical account, with a theoretical amount of money) in order to practice – which gives you the opportunity to make real decisions, with real stocks, without risking any real money.

And as you practice (and of course, as you move into actually purchasing stocks), the main thing you will want to watch for is that you are always buying stocks when they are primed to go up – when everyone else is undervaluing them – rather than when the stock is at its peak and everyone else is rushing out to buy it!
