Avoid Risk Taking As A Stock Market Beginner

By Greg Deffson

Stock markets are the most risky way to make money. However, that said they are easily most easily available methods to make money and they provide gains which are far in excess of any other money making methods.

There are two ways you can trade stocks in the market. The first one is by opening an account with a stock broker and the second one is by investing in mutual funds. These mutual funds have managers which will invest the money given by you as an investor. The risks are the same in the mutual funds as there are in the stocks.

Invest in the stock market for long term to avoid risk. If you are a risk taker then only invest in the stock market for short term.

Once you have the long term perspective in mind then you can invest in stocks which are the most the most defensive or the most risky.

The most risky stocks are those which can give you gain instantly but the issue with them is that you need to monitor those very closely so that you can exit the stocks as and when you have made your desired percentage of gains.

If you have time to monitor the stocks only then invest in short term stocks else go for the long term stocks.

Have a cushion for losses otherwise you can be caught off guard and there will be no money left for you to cherry pick stocks. Buy when everyone is selling and sell when everyone is buying is the mantra that you should follow and that will help you make a lot of money.

Before entering the market make sure that you know what is your risk taking ability and this risk profile will stand you good while taking any risk in stock market. - 23199
