This Volatile Market Has Killed My Portfolio, How Can I Make Money Trading Stocks Online?
Volatility is your friend. Usually the markets rise 10% per year. However in a volatile market can do that in one week or even one day. So what you want to do is to forget the “Buy & Hold” strategy. Now you need to make quick short-term profits. You want stocks that rise 10 to 50% in a weeks time then get out.
Making quick short-term gains like this and then compounding them weekly instead of yearly can grow your portfolio rather quickly so you can easily make 200% or more yearly.
You can’t. It sounds boring, but the best way to make money from stocks is to invest in no-load index funds (so you don’t have to try to pick stocks), invest for the long term (don’t constantly buy and sell different stocks), use dollar cost averaging (invest the same amount at regular intervals), and make sure you have the right risk profile for your age and needs (the older you get, the more bonds should be part of your portfolio).
It depends. If you bought your stocks to hold them for a long period then maybe you should hold them unless there is no chance of recovery. The markets are not going to recovery speedly, things are going to be bad for sometime, but at the end they will get better. On the short term side, specifically if you are a day trader then you need to review your strategy and maybe look at other stocks, unless you believe the stocks you been dealing in will turn around. My strategy at the moment is to trade stocks that are undervalued or with low pe, market cap no less than $2 billion for the share price do not move fast, I deal in metal companies with strong cash base and good balance sheet, and I split my portfolio between us and emerging economy stocks and so far I am doing very well.
I have been privy to some Forex software that was on the market that traded on a 15 month study at an average of 25% monthly return. Lowest being 3% the highest month being 45%. If you wish to contact me I can tell you more about it at admin@the-moneytree.org
Do you love filling out polls and surveys. Well why not do this and make money at the same time. You may be thinking “Oh, no not one of those stupid scam sites again”. This is not one of those. I used to do spend hours on these sites until I came across this site http://makemoneyfrompollsandsurveys.blog... now I make money of this but need more people on these sites so they know it is worth paying people and get a good fair result.
Day trading or short term trading is more like gambling than investing.
The majority lose money from what I have read.
I try to time with a longer term and larger perspective of the market in relation to the economy.
