INVESTING - A Beginner's guide for long term successAn Introduction to investing in Stocks & Bonds, Mutual Funds, Exchange Traded Funds, Real estate and Start-upsStanley H Bryce Statistically only 5-10% of all participants in the global financial markets are successful! This information can be checked up and it's shocking to hear that over 90% of investor's and traders in the markets will never make any money. The main reason for this is in my experience the following: People don't plan their investing or think too much about it, from what I experienced unusually it starts out with dissatisfaction of you current financial situation, way too high taxes, way too low interests in your savings account and also inflation take's a big chunk out of your hard earned money. Someday you come across your neighbour, or your co-worker who is also just a regular guy and he tells you about his or her investing portfolio, you get so excited that 2 month later your start your own portfolio as basically the markets will always go your direction and this guy told you about diversification so it will not be a problem... here comes the bear market, you are totally frozen and don't know how to react on this rapid price movement and usually people tend to sell the stocks at the point of the most fear - the market lows. One year later you could have lost 50% of your investing portfolio. Basically what I want to show you is the importance of a substantial knowledge basis when acting in the markets and start out investing as the statics are on our side if we just do the right things. The S&P 500 index has a long-term return of above 7.5% per year which is incredibly good if you are just starting out.
