Since Donald Trump took office, the stock market has crashed several times, then gone back up, then went back down. It’s been a roller coaster. When you turn on the news on TV or online, all you hear about is the stock market and how volatile it’s been. It’s gloom and doom and you would think the world is ending.
So, a logical question is “should I still learn the stock market” and the answer is a resounding, “YES”!!
Keep in mind there is NEVER a disadvantage to getting educated on anything. The stock market is made up of companies in the United States and around the world. Understanding how the stock market works and being able to “ACTIVELY” participate in it can make all the difference in your financial situation.
The wealthiest individuals in the world made their wealth through the stock market and they aren’t running from it, they just adjust their strategies.
There is an old saying that the stock market is the only place people run from when there is a massive sale. Think about it, if Walmart, Target, Best Buy all were having sales on their products of 20% to 50%, people would be rushing into those stores to buy items on sale. But when people see the stock market crashing, they panic and run away. That is the time to be looking for bargains!
Also being educated in the stock market you will understand the difference between “Investing”, which is buying and holding stocks for longer periods of time, with the intention of the stock going up in price (like buying a house for $300,000 and it appreciating over time to $400,000) and “Trading (aka FLipping)” stocks, which is buying and selling stocks over a shorter period of time, which could be over months, weeks, days, hours, even seconds (like buying a car on sale and selling it for a profit an hour later).
Don’t assume just because you read in the paper or hear on the news the stock market crashed that everyone is losing money because that is NOT always the case.
There is actually a technique where you can make money as a stock goes down in price, but you never hear them talk about that on the news, but those on Wall Street and educated traders are doing it as I’m writing this article.
Understanding how the market works offers many different opportunities to make money, but you must be educated.
Now some of you may be thinking, the stock market just seems too complicated, and you must have millions of dollars to get started and it’s going to take a long time to learn, and I can’t sit in front of a computer all day looking at complicated charts and reading the financial news. Well, I’ve got great news for you, none of that is necessary to ACTIVELY participate in the stock market.
Just like in grade school or high school you probably had some teachers who made learning very difficult and then you had other teachers who made learning easy and fun, the same applies to learning the stock market. Finding a teacher in the stock market who teaches a fun and easy way to learn to invest and trade will make all the difference as to whether you are successful or not.
Being successful in the stock market is all about learning a system or strategy for investing and trading.
Avoid scammers who make promises such as “I guarantee you will make x amount of money” or “if you get my system, you will never lose money”. Making these statements is illegal and a scam, but you see people on the internet making these claims all the time.
