You are probably not looking at the charts right. Buying tops. For illustration, get a chart for VSEC for the last three months. Draw a line across the tops and a parallel line across the bottoms. Makes a channel. Now look at today's price in that channel. It is at the top. Time for you to buy because of your curse. Time for me to wait till it is at the bottom line. Be patient and look out for your timing. And, if your stocks aren't this "well behaved", find others that are. If you have access to a good technical stock screener, you can set it up to show you just those sorts of plays. |

It's unlikely all of them do, but even so - two things to consider:
By buying individual stocks instead of mutual funds, you are seriously increasing your risk. That can go either way - better gains, or larger losses.
You can't time the market. It moves over long periods, with dips and peaks along the way. The best advice is to buy and ignore. You'll end up making more money if you do that, than if you worry over your investments every day. |

Let me guess you bought some stocks because you heard some news or watched some TV programs, or took someone who claimed to be the investing expert's advice. Guess what?? millions of other were also exposed to this information, of course a lot of people are going to buy the next day. This will push the price higher, and then the real shark (hedge, probably) will seize this opportunity to sell and make a profit.
Do not worry. If it is a good company, the price will go up again. If it is not, then you should have done your homework before you bought that stock. |

You're not alone. Just about every investor goes through this.
This past weekend I went to a trading seminar. The gentleman conducting the class has it happen to him on a very frequent basis. He referred to it as "Murphy's Law".
Once someone shows you how to do the research [which you pay for by investing your time reading and/or investing your money in a software program - or more software programs], this is not hard to do. It requires your time and your diligence [doing the research work].
Buying or controlling the right investments at the right time and at the right price, holding on to them until they meet your financial goals and expectations is how to accumulate wealth. When they don’t meet your financial goals and expectations, you sell them. Believe me, this is not “cut and dry”.
A person should learn some things about the market and how it works. Through these sayings, I can tell you these facts:
A] There are no gifts on Wall Street.
B] You are trading people. You are not trading stocks, bonds or any thing else.
C] Trees don't grow to Heaven. Neither do stocks.
D] V.I.C.P.I.E.
Volume Is the Cause; Price Is the Effect.
E] "Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get fat. Hogs [greedy traders] get slaughtered."
1] People make or earn money when the market or their stocks go up.
2] People make or earn money when the market or their stocks go down.
3] People make or earn money when the market or their stocks go sideways.
I wish you well!
VTY,
Ron B. |

b/c you are buying shares in odd lots (non 100 shares buys)
and you are buying based on common information that other small investors are using too -- to buy odd lots
the odd lot theory will hold -- the more 'small' investors like you buy in , that means it's time to collect profits, drive the price down , buy in at a lower, and wait for the next batch of small time investors to get fleeced |

Because you read or someone told you to buy the share. Everyone like you buys and the share becomes overbought.That coincides with traders selling you that overbought share and getting out with a handsome profit as they bought that same share before the price rise. |

Look at your investing style. If it's not working, then do the opposite. |
