Understand why you are investing in the stock market
This is very important. Before you start investing, or even if you have been investing for some
time, always ask yourself the following question, "Why am I investing in the stock market?"
Investors invest for different reasons:
- Some do it to make short-term capital gains
- Others do it for long-term wealth creation
- Some do it for the dividend income to secure their retirement and,
- Some people do it just for fun or to learn how to do it.
One thing is for sure, everyone wants to make money. Most people invest in the stock market for
a combination of the reasons mentioned above.
But here's the point, the stocks that you could invest in would differ remarkably depending on
your objective.
If you don't know why you're investing, we recommend that you first work that out carefully
before touching the market. Ignorant investors usually lose a lot of money.
