Today I will talk about the attributes of individual investors who make money by stock investment.
If we categorize individual investors, you would see students, business people, homemakers, retired people, and others of different ages and gender.
Can you guess what everyone has in common that profits from investing in the stock market?
I think you might imagine someone who studies hard and enthusiastic in addition to having accounting knowledge such as finance, but that is not always the case.
Basically, suppose the timing of buying stocks is the same, In that case, there is not much difference between stocks that are carefully selected by professional investors and those purchased by beginners, whether they will rise or fall in a few years.
Actually, I often hear stories of tax accountants who had terrible losses playing the stock market.
On the other hand, I've also heard stories of a young hostess at a club brag about how the stocks she bought doubled in value.
The typical losing pattern for individual investors seems to be that they want to profit immediately if the stock price go up, if the stock price goes down, they commit to holding it, and repeat such a deal many times and lose as a result.
Well, as for the answer to the first question.
According to a major investment management company survey, the most profitable attribute of individual investors is those who had died, and their brokerage accounts were neglected.
