It's easy--perhaps all too easy--to find stock market content on the Internet today.
The easy availability of so much stock market content can lead to more confusion than guidance, and confusion is the last thing you need if you wish to be involved in the stock market.
So to begin with, when you look at stock market content you have to keep in mind at all times that the market's activity is very largely driven by investors who don't know what they're doing.
People invest, buy, and sell on emotion rather than reason.
Fear and greed are the twin pillars of stock market movements.
Only those people who can transcend these two forces and let their cooler heads prevail will make true fortunes in the stock market.
Of course some speculation in the market is necessary.
But it needs to be deeply informed speculating, and it has to be kept to its barest possible minimum.
Historic stock price, observable trends, and knowledge of a company or an industry are what should be used as much as is possible to make investment and trade decisions.
So most of the stock market content that you find reported and reflected on (which creates even more content) is just the derivation from fairly mindless mass behavior with little facts, data, or rationality underpinning it all.
This might sound cynical, but the "herd" mentality of the "sheeple" cannot be underestimated, and when it comes to things like politics and the stock market this herd mentality just gets more pronounced.
If you seek success and fortune in the stock market, you have to rise above the herd mentality; that means casting a cold eye on the stock market content that you will find.
Some of it will be worthwhile, but most of it is not gold but garbage.
Only if you have an informed and rational mind, and a cool head, will you be able to accurately tell the difference between the garbage and the gold.
So, if you find stock market content that seems to indicate that people should be buying XYZ company, you know that probably you should be selling XYZ company if you own its shares.
When the herded sheeple all start buying up XYZ company, they will thus bid its price way, way up, and when you see that high price and guess with your informed stance that this is its peak price, you sell it and make a killing.
Of course the opposite would be true if there were market gurus everywhere saying that XYZ company should be sold.
You would then buy it; and some time in the future, you would sell it off and make a killing, for when you bought it you would understand that it was being forced to a low price by the masses of investors who knew not what they did, and therefore it was almost predestined to rise again, and to your benefit.
So let stock market content dictate how you invest--except in your case, let it dictate that you do what most other people are NOT doing.
