While investing in the stock market is a risky proposition, that should not stop aspiring investors from taking that first leap. The secret of investing lies in having a stock market strategy for long term success.
Savvy investors only get into a stock market investment after they become aware of the necessary information about the company. It is unwise to invest in companies before learning everything about them including future plans, current performance and their past history.
It is impossible for an investor to know everything right away. Getting investment advice helps investors locate the right stock that will offer significant profits over time. And an investor should always be aware of the fundamental value of the stock they are purchasing.
Choose to invest in a company that is part of a familiar industry. An investor should have a decent understanding of the business they are investing in so they can fully comprehend the value of the stock. By having this type of knowledge, investors are more independent and do not need to rely solely on advisers and analysts.
Investors should carefully select the sources of information they rely upon. Tips offered out in the stock market should usually be avoided as they are typically provided by people with vested interest.
When investors get started in the stock market, it is important to set a long term goal for success. The goal determines the approaches to be used and influences the decision made in the future. Having a solid goal ensures greater regularity in the face of indecision when the stock market moves.
A long term goal helps investors avoid making spur of the moment decisions that could negatively affect their financial picture. A long term goal helps investors create a more stable financial future by making steady investment purchases. With a long term goal in mind, an investor has greater consistency.
Speculative ventures must be avoided when investing in the stock market. While there are risks in any business enterprise, they must be calculated carefully to reduce the possibility of loss and maximize potential profits. Guesswork simply does not work when it comes to stock market investing.
Stock investing is not gambling and should not be treated as a game. Investor can lose major money in the stock market and investments simply should not incur huge losses. It is simple to purchase stocks, but difficult to regain lost money.
No investor can afford to make costly mistakes in the stock market. When investors have the desire to gamble, the long term goal must be strictly reviewed and then followed. By revisiting the long term goal, investors can minimize the probability of investing too much money and losing it all.
Self-motivation is required for successful investing. To make the most of the stock market, the investor needs to have discipline and determination to keep persevering to achieve their goals.
To be a winner in investing today, you must have courage, passion, knowledge and a stock market strategy. A prudent investor can take advantage of the myriad of opportunities in the stock market for greater financial freedom in the future.
Please note that Cryptocurrency transaction and mining is illegal in Nepal as per the notice issued by Nepal Rastra bank. This article is only for information purposes.
Money has evolved and changed shape over time. Today, digital currencies are best suited to the needs of the digital world. Digital currencies are focused on decentralising the currency in order to facilitate private transactions. Cryptocurrency is a decentralised digital money that can be used to transfer assets from person to person. They are not governed by banks or other central agencies. All of these coins are digital and have no physical existence. Cryptocurrencies can be purchased on exchanges and kept in wallets, exchange wallets, or physical storage discs. They are also spread throughout the network, so that even if one component fails, no data is lost. Pi coin is also the first and only cryptocurrency that can be mined on your phone.
The “Pi Network” is an intelligent network that enables users to earn Pi cryptocurrency from any mobile device. Three Stanford students launched a beta version of the app in March 2019. And two of them have doctorates. They want to build a digital currency that is secure, unchangeable, non-counterfeitable, and interoperable. They intend to accomplish this through the use of distributed ledger technology and the stellar consensus mechanism.
One of the primary differences between Pi Network and other blockchains is that rewards are distributed on a daily basis. They are not paid out per block and are distributed around the network, so as long as you interact with the network, you will receive a reward at the end of the day. The white paper goes with the availability of free transactions in relation to network congestion. When the network becomes overcrowded, miners will be able to sort through transactions using a fee system, with greater fees being handled with first and everyone else having to wait based on the amount of fee they want to pay.
There is currently no fixed supply, and the overall amount is uncertain. The overall supply will be determined after the initiative is officially launched. The tokens that individuals are earning right now serve as a faucet and are a visual representation of tokens that will be created in the Genesis block when the main net goes live.
The Pi network is fast growing, with over 800,000 active users as of right now. For all we know, it could be the next big thing. Because it is free to join, there is nothing to lose by downloading the app. However, it is strongly advised that you conduct preliminary research before proceeding. For additional information, follow the Pi network on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
Since its top of 1881 in 2016, the Nepal Stock Exchange has been on a downward trend. The market dropped to as low as 1100, a drop of nearly 40% from its peak. Many investors lost a lot of money as a result of the devastating market meltdown.
If we ask investors right now if they thought the market was going to tumble after 2016, many will say yes. However, at the peak, investors were more bullish on the market. The massive quantity of everyday turnover demonstrates this. The daily transaction amount was between 1.5 and 2 billion rupees.
So, how does an investor’s opinion of the same event change? This is a psychological phenomena known as ‘Hindsight bias.’
The tendency of people to perceive events as more predictable than they actually are is referred to as hindsight bias. In other words, it makes the past appear less predictable than it was. Things always appear more evident after they have occurred.
Decision making is difficult prior to the occurrence due to a lack of information and foresight. However, looking at the available results after the event, the outcome appears more predictable.
During the bullish era in our market, investors were uninformed of the oncoming market disaster. As a result, many people were highly involved in stocks. Some people predicted that the market would crash. However, no one was certain at the moment.
However, after the market fall, investors believe that they were forewarned that the market would drop. With more information regarding the market crash becomes accessible, investors appear to be more sure about the event’s predictability.
Consider the following scenario: You are considering purchasing a stock called ABC. However, you do not purchase it for some reason. The price of ABC stock then skyrockets. What are your thoughts?
The answer is that you are stupid. You kick yourself for squandering the opportunity. You are remorseful for not purchasing the stock when you realized it was a winner. You tell yourself, ‘I knew the stock would soar.’ This is what we mean by hindsight bias.
So, what makes it dangerous? This is because you have made a promise to yourself that you would not make the same mistake again. You are more confident in your decision-making abilities, and you vow to seize the next opportunity. This is the danger that hindsight bias can cause. The next time might not be the same as the previous.
Let’s have a look at another scenario: You consider purchasing a stock called ABC. However, you do not purchase it for some reason. The price of ABC stock then plummets. Now consider if you would have felt the same way in the first situation.
No, it does not. You congratulate yourself on making a wise decision not to buy ABC stock. You knew the stock would decline, which is why you didn’t buy it in the first place.
Why is the response different in these two cases? In an ideal world, the answer in both cirplusstances would be the same. In both cirplusstances, you made the same decision not to acquire stock ABC prior to the rise or fall in its price. However, after the event occurs, such as a price rise or decline, you change your reaction in accordance with the nature of the occurrence.
This is risky because it gives you the impression that you knew it all along, giving you a false sense of security in your judgment. This can lead to overconfidence in your financial abilities and reckless decisions.
Several behavioral experts have recommended producing a list of everything that was considered when making the decision. This could be a good plan. We will know what our thought process was at the time of decision making if we make a record of the reasoning behind our decisions. We cannot change our statements after the event has occurred. This will aid us in making an accurate assessment of our abilities.
Investors may not consider hindsight bias as a concern. However, it may lead you to make decisions based on your perspective rather than facts.
In our daily lives, we experience hindsight bias. Whether it’s investing, gaming, exams, or anything else, the outcome makes us feel much more confident in our abilities. If Real Madrid beats Sevilla, we’ll tell ourselves and others that we knew Madrid was going to win. Similarly, if the stock/real estate price is rising, ‘I knew it’ comes into play.
Even if it hasn’t caused any immediate harm, it can make you overconfident, causing your next bet to be more illogical. Real Madrid won, but the outcome might be different the next time. Past events cannot be utilized to predict the future completely. Information and strategies evolve in tandem with the passage of time.
As a result, it is preferable to treat each possibility as new and base your judgment on facts. The past appears to be easy to anticipate, yet this is not the case. It is a hallucination that arises following the occurrence of the result. As a result, it is preferable to stick to your investing ideas and tactics.
