Fair stock value drives all trading and investment. It is a subjective matter. Experts rarely agree on how much stock is worth. The stock price which prevails at any one point in time is buffeted up and down by innumerable traders. Only stock brokers gain no matter which way a stock price moves.
What role does advice play in your stock trades? Are you the altruistic type who shares priceless insights for free? Do you lack confidence in all stock market sources? Which is the best way to structure a stock trading team?
Less can be more. Brokers gain the more you trade in stock. That equation may not apply to you. Stock trading makes great sense when you discern a trend. Wait and watch works as well. Taking a break from the stock market could help your capital. What can you do with surplus cash in the meantime?
Classic technical analysis of a stock market uses years and months as units to time. Electronics and satellites are swords with two edges for stock investors. You are fascinated at first by real time stock price movements. Then you make some gut-wrenching day trading losses. You can learn to handle the stock market like a deck of poker cards. The tricks become easier with regular practice, and you begin to beat the dealer.
Here is a way to use botany for stock trades. Consider how a tree is more useful than a fern. Some of this is because a deep and strong root is better than a whole bunch of shallow and stringy ones. The differences become sharper in bad times. Ferns become fossils, while redwoods thrive for generations.
Record stock price rises can hurt. Unreasonable expectations may be at fault. Economic analyses can be dead wrong. Interest rate reductions are like pain-killer drugs. They do more harm than good. Temporary relief hides structural defects. Only pharmacists gain. What should you do with stocks?
It is like copying a piece of paper. You use the brand name of the pioneer even if your copier is Japanese. It is the same with search engines, instant photographs, and now with electronic commerce.
