How to avoid losing money in the stock market

 

Hi, I totally agree with you. Here is my angle, it looks like market is interacted with you to reach the purpose of game. So it's hard to escape since you may be the cause. The purpose of game is seemed to be related to balance of capital flow from my observation, until it reaches to “the edge”, it won't stop. Just a personal thinking. Cheers.

If this is kind of true. You want to win more and lose less during the cycle of games by using different strategies. I feel that time factor is hard to control and is being hidden. And furthermore the "win" is not really controled by you, although "I can win " is deeply implanted in your mind and subconscious in this interactive system. What a tricky for this mind game is!:doh:

You can make money when the market is up, down or flat. All of the possible outcomes are covered so you have no excuses. Claiming that, “the S&P 500 was down 8% last year, so my 4% loss wasn’t too bad”, isn’t sufficient. If the market is trending downward and none of the signs point to a recovery, you can make money several ways – shorting, inverse exchange traded funds, put options and many more investments products designed to appreciate when the market declines.
