When it comes to investing in the stock market many investors do not realize that they have left themselves exposed to certain disaster, if the market were to suddenly turn downward. This is often because too many investors concentrate heavily on only one side of stock market trading: Investing. In doing so, they completely ignore the other side of the trade: Selling. Experienced investors know that both sides must be balanced, in order to make money in the stock market.
When it comes to investing in stocks, investors must also determine what point they wish to sell at, both good (high) and bad (low). The best time to make this determination is when the investor initially makes their investment, and should be based on the the investment’s long-term price average. It doesn't end there though. Investors will need to constantly review their profit targets for each stock market investment held, because market prices will change daily, as will their opportunities to buy and sell.
Understanding how difficult it can be to sell off a stock investment, making an investment simply because it feels like a good idea, is a certain recipe for disaster. It is paramount that investors learn about investments before investing. Any investor who is not up to this kind of research beforehand, must realize that they are not investing, they are gambling. In this case, investors might be better off hiring a broker or investment adviser who systematically follows a method of buying and selling that can be measured for success, instead of just doing it because it feels like a good investment.
