About how many % peoples actually makes $ in Stock Market?

For those who able to make $$$ do they often sell and buy or just wait to right opportunity to sell?

I make money in the market. However I do follow a few simple rules:

- I don't day trade.
- I invest only in companies I understand
- I do my own analysis and temper it against the press.
- I lean heavily on fundamental and T&C analysis

most of my buys don't bear fruition overnight, so I tend to be a buy and hold investor.

The less you trade the less the fees so I seldom trade. I made one purchase last year and one this year so far. I do most in mutual funds now sold three funds last year might sell some this year and will buy some. The average return on equities is about 10%.

In the stock market its always possible to watch certain stocks go up between 30% and 80% within a few hours or days. And even when you can see stock traders that make $5000 on a single trade, it is also not unusual to see beginner investors lose a great deal of money because of a series of unwise decisions.

The problem is that if you don't know how to choose among stocks & how to properly approach them you could end up wasting good money instead of increasing your profits.

You can't just trade stocks like if you where gambling in Vegas.

The rules and the opportunities are the same for everyone, so either you are going to make money when you pick a stock and make a trade or you are simply going to lose it in favor of the more seasoned ones.

The are a lot of books on the subject that pretend to help you, however many of them where written 5 or 8 years ago and that kind of makes them obsolete in this constantly changing field.

To become a profitable stock trader your winning trades have to overcome your loser ones in terms of dollars and cents.

Successful traders know how to adapt to different market environments and choose among the best trading opportunities by applying effective trading strategies.

Just always keep in mind that a good strategy is simple and practical. Complicated stock systems will always make you slow in your decision making process or confuse you from the start.

Fortunately some websites on the internet can show you how to use effective and proven stock trading strategies. One of those sites that can show you how to take advantage of hot stocks using simple to understand and apply momentum trading strategies is http://www.MomentumStockPick.com

You don't necessarily have to trade hot stocks all the time. But you can learn how to take advantage of them when you encounter the best opportunities.

In the end, stock trading is all about buying and selling according to your specific knowledge FILTER.

Once you master and follow your proven filter parameters like a clock, you can expect to start making serious amounts of cash on a consistent basis.

Bringing home $ profit from stocks is really a difficult thing at least to me.
It's right to say that the more 'uselessly' I purchase or sale, the more I pay the brokerage/s.
It might be a better idea to open a brokerage house .... it is often said.Till date I have not shot the "bull's eye"
.......these may not be applicable for all. thanks

Last year I made about 67% after fees by trading leveraged and inverse mutual funds from ProFunds that can be traded at the end of everyday without having to pay commission fees like you do for stocks and ETFs using a timing model that I developed. With my timing model I sometimes buy/sell twice a month, other times I hold my position for more than a year, it just depends on what the model tells me. In back testing my model for the last 30 years it looks like 40% is a reasonable AVERAGE annual return, so last year was above average. My real job involves engineering models, and my background is in math, so creating my own stock market model was actually pretty fun. I'm still making little tweaks here and there. I like using this model because I don't have to spend time doing research any more, I just check the model once a day to see if I need to make a trade to one of the two funds I switch between. I'm not trying to come across as arrogant, and I have nothing to sell (I make enough money with my investments that I don't have to sell my advice, as is the case with any investor of any true worth). Hope this answers your question.

I'd said that if people keep investing for long periods of time, say 20+ years they will almost always end up way ahead.
I was in the business for 20 yrs and have yet to meet a person who is a 'trader' and who constantly trades that makes money. They are basically gamblers-they will have hot streaks and cold streaks.

Extremely few. Maybe 3%. Of those 3%, probably half is just dumb luck. The other half are either sophisticated traders (like options traders) or have some sort of intuition or something to where they end up with greater wins than losses (like some floor traders.)

Some of them make many purchases and sales, others make only a few.

There's another group of people who make money buying and selling stocks and those are company executives/insiders who have inside knowledge that's not available to anyone else.

People do make money in stock as a trader. Buy and sell, only the risk is like gambler. Win, Win and loose or it never last.

well ALOT of peeople do...i'd say a good 50% of americans
have 401k's.....these are BIG money making programs
but if you are able to invest about 2,000 per year till your
65....you'll come out smelling like a rose...

if you just put 200 away per month in a regular savings account
starting at 18 when you hit 65 you'll have about 225,000.

nice nest egg
