Making the First Step to Become a Real Trader


You have the desire to become a serious trader, but investment has always been the block in your path. Most of us work eight hours a day for five days a week. This way we acquire a small profit from our work. If we had a serious job we might even be able to make a real fortune in 3-4 generations. This becomes pretty inconvenient, because though we work for it we still live in poverty. But there is another option. Let’s say, that you have a monthly salary of $500 a month. You have to pay out a few bills and at the end of the month you are left with $200. You now have the option to either use all your money and enjoy life or make plans to invest it for your future. You desire to have a house to call your own, but buying a house is really expensive. You need to have at least $100,000. With the $200 monthly profit, that’s not too much as compared to the actual price of a house. Let’s see how many months you need to be able to purchase a house?

100,000 / 200 = 500.

How many years do you need to work hard?

500 / 12 = 41.6

You can choose to work for forty years to buy that house you so long for or you can choose to invest into something:

If you had about $1000 you could buy some cheap stocks from the stock market. But then which companies’ stocks should you invest in? Of course you search for companies with cheap stocks, but you would need to know for sure that these companies will become more successful. That way you could earn profit by just selling your stocks. This requires an in depth study of the stock market using technical analysis and/or fundamental analysis. Study the current trend of the market and you will be able to make predictions based on probability as to where the market is heading.

All you need is five months to have enough money to make your first investment. In these five months you can learn so much about the stock market and become ready for your first investment. This way you will earn some money and your money can work for you if it is put in the right place. With enough money you can make bigger investments in the areas of most interest and good value: real estates. You can hunt down the “hottest” investments, but you must always know that you can lose sometimes, because life is very complicated and the only constant thing in life is change. You must work out a strategy for your investments. Always invest not all of your money. Keep some of it just in case for that rainy day if ever it comes up. If you have money you can buy houses in foreclosure auctions and take further measures to become wealthier, but remember: becoming rich is not just a giant leap, you must advance step by step. If you fall you should be able to rise up again quickly.

1.) If you don’t have enough money to invest right away, it is good to work a few months until you get enough
2.) If you don’t have enough money to make bigger investments you must start with the smaller investments and then move to the bigger stakes

An effective method in learning to invest into estates is by participating at auctions: If you don’t win the auction you won’t lose money, but if you happen to win the auction the risks are small and the potential for profit is immense.
