There are many different ways to invest in world markets: stocks, bonds, mutual funds, options, commodities or currencies. Sometimes people refer to these options as investment vehicles (or method of investment). Some of these vehicles may fit your personal characteristics or lifestyle better than others. The point is that no matter the method you choose to invest, the goal is always to put your money to work so it earns you a profit. Even though this is a simple idea, it is the most important idea you should understand.
Second important idea you should understand is that investing is not about gambling or betting. It is about money management, compounding and psychology. Investing in the world markets, of course, worth learning. The rewards will far outweigh the required effort.
It is impossible to accumulate all the information about investing in one site as it would result in a huge library of tens of millions pages in it. HeYou can find books to read, video courses to watch for your personal financial education at www.RichTrack.com.
Typical mistakes to avoid
1. You shouldn't allow banks, or investment professionals to push your money in directions you don't understand. No one knows better than you what is best for you and your money.
2. Many investors fail because they invest "on the fly", without the benefit of any pre-determined trading plan. It is critical to have a complete, thought out plan of action before starting investing.
3. Trading against a trend. Trend is your friend. Investors who ignore price trends when trying to pick a stock's peaks and bottoms are rarely successful.
4. Not adhering to a money management. Remember, money management and asset allocation strategy has significant impact to your investing success.
5. Lack of discipline. It is essential to have a list of rules that must be followed strictly.
