  • Boosting Your ROI in Stock Market Investing

    Boosting Your ROI in Stock Market Investing


    Everyone wants a high return on their investment in stock market trading. First let’s consider the basics and the ways to earn the most on your investments.

    Return on Investment

    Usually referred to as ROI, the Return on Investment in stock market investing is the profit earned from selling a security or other asset divided by the amount of the original investment. With stocks, your ROI is expressed as an APR (annual percentage rate).

    Your ROI is all the income you make on the stock, which also includes profit earned from selling the stock. When the sales price plus any other income is higher than the price you purchased the stock for, your ROI is positive.

    When the sale price plus any other income is lower than the price you bought the stock for, you have a negative ROI (which is obviously what you want to avoid). In fact, as a trader in the stock market, your goal is a high ROI, not just a positive one. To achieve a substantial ROI, consider the following methods to boost your current stock investing efforts.

    Know What You Are Purchasing

    To ensure a high ROI in stock market investing, garner as much information as you can about the company you want to invest your money in. A bit of basic analysis to find out if the stock is worth the asking price can go a long way. Rather than gambling, you can also ask other people to do this research for you if you don’t have the time to do it yourself. Reliable research resources include the websites of major brokerage firms, mutual fund companies and finance publications. There are also paid newsletter that offer this information.

    A Bull Market Is Not The Same As Smart Investing

    When you earn a high ROI in stock market investing, there are many reasons for it. One of the possible reasons is your wise investment strategy. Another reason can simply be the good fortune to be in the right place at the right time so you wind up making money with minimal effort. We may feel smarter when the market is soaring so we get tempted to take on riskier positions and trade more frequently, which may not be the wisest decision.

    Deactivate Active Trading

    You may feel tempted to trade frequently when you are gaining. With online stock trading, investment is a mouse click away which can make you even more impulsive. Remember that it is difficult to make money by beating the stock market consistently. In stock market trading, it is better to have a buy and hold strategy to ensure a high ROI.

    Take Note of The Tax Man

    Pay attention to tax ramifications when trading stocks. Frequent trading can become extremely costly, especially when major income taxes are triggered by profits. By buying and holding for a period of at least one year, you would qualify for a lower capital gains rate. Your financial advisor should be able to consult with you on this.

  • How to learn any skills faster in six steps

    How to learn any skills faster in six steps


    Practice makes perfect when it comes to skills.

    G. I. Joe Fallacy: the idea that knowing is half the battle. It needs to be retired not just from our theories of how the mind works, but also from our practices of trying to shape minds to work better.

    Laurie Santos and Tamar Gendler

    As a consequence, if you want to achieve an objective, lectures alone will not suffice. You want to be more prepared. Lectures can only help you learn more. It will not provide you with the tools you need to improve your job performance.

    Set (realistic) goals!

    Your objectives should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound).

    You can also use the WOOP technique (wish, result, challenge, plan) to set goals and achieve them more quickly.

    In his book Originals, Wharton Organizational Psychology Professor Adam Grant suggests that the greatest input comes from fellow creators, not from the audience or managers.

    We could all rely more on peer feedback and do a better job saying, “When I’ve got a new idea, I’m not necessarily going to trust my own judgment. But I’m not always going to trust … middle managers who tend to be the most risk-averse and most conservative. I’m going to go to people who are fellow creators.”

    Deliberate practice to learn any skill faster!

    Regular practice may be mindless repetitions, whereas deliberate practice requires focused attention and is done with the explicit goal of increasing performance.

    Benjamin Franklin’s father chastised him for his poor writing skills when he was a teenager. Franklin made a pledge to himself to improve his prose. He began by reading works by some of the most popular authors of the time. He then rewrote each essay in his own words before comparing it to the original.

    World-class violinists only train for 90 minutes a day, but those 90 minutes are spent focusing on areas where they are weak or need to develop. They don’t practice what is easy for them. It’s pointless to do so. Deliberate practice, on the other hand, forces one to step outside of their comfort zone. You’re still focusing on what you need to work on, and once you’ve accomplished it, you move on to more challenging skills. It’s like turning your life into a game.

    Choose the mindset required!

    Carol Dweck coined the terms “fixed mentality” and “development mindset” to describe people’s beliefs about learning and intellect. Students who believe they can boost their intellect understand that perseverance pays off. As a result, they put forward more effort and commitment, resulting in increased results.

    We can change someone’s perspective from fixed to development, according to studies. They become more inspired and do more as we do so. The study of brain plasticity has shown how neuronal communication changes over time. With practice, neural networks form new associations and strengthen old ones.
