Many people come to the stock market driven by dreams and desire. But they think that everything will be beautiful and wonderful just because a neighbor or a friend were successful or worse, because they watched a TV report of a teenager who has made millions in China because he knew how to invest in the stock market like no other. These people felt that trading and investing will be easy as a walk in the park.
But they’re wrong. They are so deluded that they end up making the same wrong things again and again. And all these errors are generated by wishful thinking.
In this article, I will explain two of the most dangerous:
1 – You can become rich quickly!
Beginners never get rich easily. They need to study and learn, they must keep track of important information on their investments and generally must spend at least several hours before they start investing with the competence to generate high profits in the future.
But nobody really think that way. Many feel that in the stock market you just have reach out and grab the money. These people, full of illusions, invest in crappy stocks from almost bankrupt companies because he hopes to make big money and as quickly as possible.
Needless to say that almost all of these hasty guys never come close to achieving the long-sought financial independence. They always lose money and give up on investing in the end.
But okay, it’s true that some people really do get rich very fast in the stock market, or futures market or forex. But this is very rare. The thing is like getting struck by lightning seven times in a row, it almost never happens, but sometimes it does. Remember, you can also win the lottery, but that is also something almost impossible to do.
2 – Investing in the stock market is easy!
Depending on your point of view, this may even be valid. This is goes because the average investor tends to have two views on investment in shares: he thinks investing is difficult and too complicated or he thinks it is very easy and don’t even have to think before picking stocks. Both are wrong.
Trading and investing is much simpler than most believe, while it is much more complicated than some other people think. This is because on the one hand there are those who fear stocks and therefore think investing is a thing of MIT guys only. And on the other hand, there are those deluded who think they can get rich in a few days just because… yeah.
There must be a balance so to speak. An investor needs to study a bit to figure out how to invest in the stock market correctly and with the confidence to know that he is making a good investment. And he doesn’t need to study astrophysics to learn how to pick stocks. It’s not that hard and it’s not that easy, just use your common sense and you’ll be fine.
