Why I Don't Invest my money In The Stock Market

2006-06-16T17:07:00.000-07:00

I'm tired of hearing everyon telling me to invest my money in the stock market.
If you want to help build America, invest your money in your business.
This country was built by small business men and women.

I don't invest my money in the stock market because it's out of my
control. I don't determine how the company is run or where
their profits are placed. On top of all that, the returns in my money is really peanuts compared to what you can earn from a well run business. When the
market dropped they said investors shouldn't worry about their money that'll they
should have their money back in 5 years.

Guess what?

If I invest my money in a good program, I usually make my money back in my
investment plus within 5 minutes. Can the stock market do
that? I've invested imy money n programs for $10 or $20 and made my money back 10
times that within 24 hours. I couldn't even cover the
brokerage fees for the cost of starting a business online.

Take control of your future. Take responsibility for your
success. You are the future. Learn how to market on the internet and you'll never worry
whether the economy is up or down. You're the boss. Your
ability will determine your future. Why are so many people more willing to invest thier money in the markets and not in themselves? They don't believe in themselves. They think big business will make the money for them.

I'm going to tell you something that I hope you take to
heart. I know you can succeed. I know you can outperform
the stock market. I believe in you. Probably more than you believe in your -
self. Don't invest your money in the stock market. Invest your money in your company.

In the words of Ben Franklin "Keep Thy Shop and Thy Shop
will Keep Thee."

Take off your blinders and realize, you were born to
succeed. Invest your money in yourself or your company. But do not invest your money in the stock market. Its not worth it.

Buy Puts

Let's say you protect your position by buying a put, then if the price drops you will cap your loss, or alternatively, you could sell the put/s, which may result in a profit and thus make up for any lost value in the share. Covering your position may be an on-going requirement. There will always be a price to pay - that's life!

The first strategy many people will see as too risky, but it really depends on your level of education in options, whether you can handle the risk and how much spare cash you have to meet your obligation if your puts are exercised. If the total cost of exercise is $50 000 and you have the money then in the case you do get exercised you will be able to buy the shares.

NO ONE CAN PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE MARKET!

If anyone can predict with any accuracy it won't be you and if you must predict what is going to happen, don't put any money on your bet. Next, if your broker could predict what was going to happen he/she would not be a broker - they would be living the life of Riley. If the money is coming out of the market then for god's sake take notice. This may be as close as you get to insider trading.

The stockmarket is like a sport. Everyone wants to see the great players and witness all the action, but not everyone is going to win the game. It is up to you to learn how to play the game. You need to learn the rules and learn the tactics and strategies to help you score more goals.

The gambler will eventually give his winnings back to the house because they do not have a plan and trading rules which help them develop self-discipline. The most important quality to develop if you seriously wish to be successful in the sharemarket is self-discipline. Although this is easy to write
in words I assure you that developing personal discipline is very hard and to carry out actions without involving emotion can be next to impossible. We are often ruled by emotion and we hate to admit we have made a loss - thus, often we won't do what we should to rescue our remaining capital. This is how a little loss becomes a big loss over time.

Master yourself - your emotions will help you lose money. The more you think with your emotions and the more you make decisions with your emotions, the more you will lose.

There are going to be more people that lose money than make money. I have had strings of losses, where position after position has had to be closed. Now you don't need that to happen too many times to wipe out your capital. This is the reason for keeping your positions small. You must decide how much time you will be willing to invest to learn how to make your fortune and keep it. The less time you're willing to devote to learning, the less money you should put into the sharemarket.

If you lose or win, it's nothing to them - they hope they will still get to keep their jobs. It is easy to understand - make them a lot of money and they might let you know what is happening to your account, but this depends on who is more important than you today. We all want advice and we all ask the opinions of others, but don't become dependent on someone solving your problems - you are alone! Now live with it! The sooner you take full responsibility the better.

The people who make excellent returns are those that see trading as a business and realize that they will always be a pupil who needs to keep learning, be self-motivated and resilient, because losing at some stage is inevitable.

Playing the sharemarket is not always money in your bank account - why? Simply because it's a game where the one who who knows the most makes the money.

An advisor can tap into situations that you would not be aware existed. You can also learn from them. Just be careful as to who gives you advice and make your own decisions.

Don't trust anyone to make money for you. No one cares about your money the way you do. Advisors in most cases are just sales people who need to get clients so that they can pay their bills. At the best of times you do not rate that highly in their priorities.

Overcoming The Fear of Money Part-6

2006-05-25T20:09:00.000-07:00

To sum it up, the fear of money is often based on misconceptions. The truth is that money itself is simply an inanimate thing, doesn't know or care who does what with it, has no moral or ethical value and is a necessary commodity to have in the civilized world. Money, in the hands of whoever has it, has the capacity for great good or great evil, depending on who is doing the spending. It is not money that should be judged but the character and actions of the person (or entity) who uses it.

Money is nothing to fear.

"Money can't buy you happiness"

This is true - if you are not happy to begin with. However, if you reasonably well-grounded, have a good value system and a little control over yourself money won't hurt you either. Contrary to popular wisdom, money and happiness are not mutually exclusive. In fact, money can greatly enhance the security, independence and well being of your life, your family's life and the lives of people you care about. Money can't buy you happiness but happiness can't buy you money!

"Money will change your life"

Let's hope so! Used wisely, money can greatly ease many of life's burdens and greatly enhance one's life. Or, if you have a weak character, choose to live in fear and worry, you can let money make you miserable. It's not the money, it's YOU. The important thing to realize is that you get to control the money, it doesn't get to control you. Want proof? Here's how much actual control you have over your money - in the extreme, you can always give all the money away - and be rid of it. Just like that. You can give it all to charity, you can throw it out the window, you can walk down the street and hand it out. You can burn it all. It's yours and you can do whatever you want with it, including give it away. Gone. You can make it all disappear if you choose to do so. That may be a stupid choice but that choice is always yours. That's the ultimate power you have over your money and it rests in your hands. Money doesn't ruin or change your life or change you or take control over your life. Unless you let it. And since you have the ultimate power to get rid of it why would you let it ruin your life?

"Money is Power" (and Power corrupts)
Money itself has no real power. For instance, if you were legally given 10 million after-tax dollars in cash, put it in a safe deposit box, never touched it and never told anyone you had it you would have no more power than you do right now. The power of money comes from the use (or misuse) of it or the perceived benefit or threat by others. The money itself does not generate any power; it has to be converted into power. And whether or not you wish to convert money into power is a choice. And if one decides to convert money into power that power may be used for good or for evil, depending on the character of the person with the money.

Let's look at a few of the myths about money ...

"Money is the root of all evil"
Everybody has heard this one. Unfortunately, it's one of the most famous misquotes of all time. The original quote comes from the New Testament and the correct quote is "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil". The love of money is an obsession and thus the true quote warns of the potential corruption that can derive from a love of, or obsession with, money (or any unhealthy preoccupation).. The fact is that money itself is neither good nor evil. It is neutral. Money can be used for good or it can be used for bad. How it is used is a choice, and the choice of how to use money is in the hands of he (or she) who controls it.
