The Difference Between Winning and Losing Investors

In the stock market, where talented people gather from all over the world, it is said that only 10% are winners.

When you think of winners in the stock market, what kind of person do you imagine?

Some might think of a cruel and smart person like Gorton Gekko in the movie "Wall Street," but none of the winners I have met are like that. I think most of them are more relaxed and friendly people.

 

Today, I would like to share the differences between those who succeed and those who fail in investing, based on what I have learned from individual investors, YouTube video, books, and blog posts.

 

However, a winning investor wouldn't say they're making money. So we don't know the truth.

The ideal investment scenario is that the total amount invested should exceed the funds invested. Even if you win one game and lose nine, you are a winner if your assets, including dividends, have increased.

 

Most winning investors have probably become Ten Baggers just as a result.

 

Even though this depends on luck, the long-term investment will inevitably increase the probability of success. 

On the other hand, losing investors will immediately take profits when the price rises a little...

 

This is because it is too late when the information you seek becomes widely known.

Grabbing a stock at a high price and keeping in mothballs... It is what losing investors tends do.

 

It may seem surprising about trading decisions, but there is no doubt that winning investors are quicker.

This is because losers cannot make decisions on their own, usually seeking out the opinions from different people (which are often from people who have no idea what they are talking about).

 

Winners might be wondering, 

"How can they not understand such a simple thing?

Some people even seriously wonder "if they are trying to lose on purpose".

 

Either way, the words and actions of a loser investor must seem foolish and ridiculous to them.

 

 

I would like to conclude with a somewhat harsh statement. 

If half of your investment behavior is similar to the losers, and you have no intention of changing your mind, I strongly recommend that you get out of the stock market as soon as possible (to protect you and your family).

 

Well, that would mean more than 90% of individual investors would disappear.
