Is Your Retirement Slipping Away? How Are You Going To Rebuild Your Wealth?
Did we ever think that a decade or more of stock market gains could be wiped out over a period of several months? The years of easy 8% to 10% annual returns are long gone. Do you find yourself asking questions? What am I going to do about my retirement projections that used those annual returns? How will I ever get my finances back on track? Well, we have entered a new age with new questions to be asked. What are you going to do?
There is only one person that is going to look out for you during these frustrating times. It probably is not your broker, or even your financial advisor. After all, they allowed you to get into this position, right? Well, that person is YOU!
You as an investor must train yourself to think differently. You might find that you can no longer afford to wait until losing stocks to recover, you know, those that you are emotionally tied to. That is fine. You realize that you need to make a change. Who cares how those positive investment returns come. What is important is that they do come.
The average investor needs to change the way he thinks. We need to teach ourselves to invest not with emotion, but with common sense. I treat my investing activities like a business. If a particular trade is not working as I had out as planned, I close it out and move on.
I have been told my real estate investor clients that the profit for a property is made at the time of purchase, not on the resale. Is it possible to apply that thinking to the stock market? Absolutely, I have clients that do that very thing.
A change in thinking will shift your focus to monitoring the trade during its expected life. I say expected life because that is known prior to entering into the trade. You will no longer just hope for a particular trades increase in value. Yes, you will know your exit strategy prior to entering into the trade!
All trades have a life cycle. You need to teach yourself to operate your investing activities like a business, watching the trade through its life cycle. I can assure you that you will feel in control and not at the whim of the stock market.
Did you know that there are stock market investing strategies that allow you significantly more control over the outcome? I know that the stock markets most successful investors do not just hope things go their way. They simply use the tools at their disposal to give them the best chance of success.
Successful investors rely strategies that tip the odds in their favor, and they have learned to treat investing like a business. What are these strategies? Well, that is beyond the scope of this article. However, in order to find success you can start by changing the way you think. - 23212
