identifying a trader among the investors

lets admit it

majority

if not all traders

are into stock trading

not just for money

but

subconsciously

also for the thrill

excitement

and kick

we drive out of trading!

the day we don't trade

or don't get the chance to trade

we feel so uncomfortable!

that is probably

the reason

we make trading opportunities

where none exist!

that is also a probable reason

why we

overtrade!

--

we can't extract the same thrill

from investing

or swing trading

where waiting is substantial.

moreover,

we can't wait

if we keep looking at the score!

--

that is why

majority traders are mentally

not best suited

to be investors!

and there is nothing wrong about it,

it is ok!!!

--

it is not a co-incidence

that i rarely see

a serious trader

who has the habit of drinking!

i can immediately tell

whether the person in the stock market

is a trader or an investor

by just asking one thing

"are you a teetotaler?"

if he is one

i know i am talking to a trader.

if not

then either he is an investor

or he is into an exciting co-occupation

or he is broke

or he is gonnabe...shortly!

--

trading and drinking

are clear signs

of a sinking ship!

--

investing is either for the rich

who have surplus money

and who are in no hurry

to listen to the daily ringing of coins

in the money box!

or

it is for those traders

who are already getting

the adrenalin pumped

from other sources

and are into trading

only for money!

--

trading is one of the biggest

intoxicating

and motivating

and boosting

occupation

or passtime

in th world!

it can delay the suicide plans

of a rich guy!

besides bringing the dead souls back!!!

--

not just the spirit

you will rarely see traders using

or frequently changing

brands

and gadgets

and other costly habits!

they get all the requisite joy

from trading

leaving these toys and lifestyle

to the broke or to the rich investors.

(note : i am a teetotaler and strongly recommend the same!)
