I’ve tried winning at the stock market, and so far it hadn’t worked. So I figured if I found out how to lose money then NOT do it, that might work!

So, how do you lose everything in the stock market?

   The hype so you get emails telling you buy meanwhile all of suckers will buy in the huge players are being promoted the hype.
   The promoters are hoping bunch of suckers will buy in or sell too late in or sell too late in on the huge players are being promoted the promoters are picking that.

   Placing money in a stock just to see if you *win* is about the equivalent of going to Vegas– except no show and a drink. The way to “invest” in the market is to put money in diverse stocks, over a long period of time and gain from the likely growing of the economy. If you think it’s a crap table– take your money to a crap table and you’ll do just as well. Learn before wasting.

   I have made tens of thousands of dollars in the stock market over the years by spreading money over many stocks. I never thought of it as a horse racing window bet. It’s called patience and “dollar cost averaging”.

   I can’t tell you how to loose in the market because I don’t.

   To be a good trader/investor you need
   1 - A written sound trading/investment plan with rules that will not only help you but more importantly protect you, mostly from yourself.
   2 - Sufficient trading/investment capital. Use your own money, there’s no need to go into debt so that you trade/invest.
   3 - A written money management program in place. Remember never invest 100% of your capital into any one security and never have 100% of your capital invested.
   4 – A full and complete understanding of the rules & regulations of the industry.

   If you don’t have all of the above, you’ll always be a looser.

   Remember you don’t have to be right 100% of the time, just 60% and you can make a very good living.
   It’s not always about making money, it’s also about protecting what you have.
