3 main topics of investors’ discussions
Broker Investment Stock selection. These 3 main topics can be often found in any online stock trading forum. Investors and stock traders like to discuss these points as they think that they are most important issues for successful stock and ETF trading or investing. Are they really so critical? Well I think that the most important part of this business is
stock trading business plan.
Every stock trader or investor has to understand that stock trading must be taken seriously and must be done in business manner. It means that stock trading business plan should exist in written form. Such plan should also discuss these themes: broker investment stock selection. But not only them . It must contain much more. Starting with definition of your vision and goals and finishing with details of your different stock strategies you want to use in your
stock trading system.
So let’s go to look at details of broker investment stock selection sections in any stock trading business plan.
Best broker for stock trade ideas
Opening of brokerage account is easiest part of stock trading business. It is very easy to find online stock broker, fill the forms online or in written form, then scan them and send back to broker by email. After some review broker opens account and provide instructions how to send money. Then stock trader or investor sends money to the account and is ready to trade. As you can see it is very easy process. Most of wanna-be traders and investors start with this. But it is mistake. This process of selection of best stock broker and opening stock trading account with some top stock broker should be one of final part after understanding and learning stock markets trading and investing. After proper preparation of stock trading business plan , after testing several stock or
ETF trading strategies
and understanding their pros and cons. But when you already prepared and tested several different strategies for different
stock market situations
(bull market, bear market or range bound market) you can select best stock broker for your needs. There are plenty of online stock brokers , some of them are deep
discount stock brokers.
There are top stock brokers and there are bad stock brokers.
It is also normal that one
top stock broker
is not best stock broker for another trader or investor. Two different traders can have different needs. The top stock broker for daytrader could offer different features then best stock broker for swing or position ETF trader. The most critical issue I want to stress is : Do not look for free online stock trade feature. Do not prefer smallest commissions and brokerage fees. They are important, right. But there are also several other features to be put in mix for selection of best stock broker for your specific type of trading or investing. And I think you understand that nothing is free of charge. Any broker offering free online stock trade feature will take your money somewhere else. I prefer to deal with fair offer of good commissions combined with
other important features
I want to have. So do properly business plan's description of broker investment stock selection sections.
My best stock market investment tips
Second important issue from broker investment stock selection sections is discussion about investment time frame.Most people think about investing only for long term. But I would like to tell you one truth. We are now living in much more different environment then 20years ago. It was fine to be buy-and-hold investor in 1980s or 1990s. But since 2000 we are in very range bound long term market situation which
is not good for buy-and-hold investor.
My best stock market investment tip for any long term investor is -
do not expect to make money by buy and hold for long time.
Prefer to be more active investor. Define your
stock trading and investment strategy
to be able to make money by holding positions opened for several weeks or few months only. Active investing or stock or ETF trading could also provide you much better risk management for your money.
Risk management rules
must be integral part of any good stock trading business plan. Do not expect that any law or government oversight is able to protect you and your money. You must do it yourself.
Stock selection process
This is also must-have point of broker investment stock selection sections in your plan.This part of stock trading plan should cover details about how do you find best stock trading ideas and opportunities. These ideas and opportunities should be the best ones. They have to generate money when are traded accordingly with your stock trading strategies and stock trading system rules. There is possible to have several ways how to find best stock trading opportunities. The first one is to have already predefined list of stocks you want to analyze and trade. It is something like my
list of ETF
I monitor and analyze every day. I am looking for best ETF for trade. Second possible way is to use some
best stock screeners.
These stock screeners should help you to find short list of possible trading candidates based on your parameters. These rules can be fundamental or technically based. Remember: You can have fundamental backing for your ideas. But fundamentals will not help you to make money in shorter time period of time. Technical
stock market analysis
and rules for
reading of stock charts
will help you not only prepare best setup for stock trade, but also to define risk parameters. And finally technical analysis of stock market will help you to
manage your trade
to squeeze as much profit as is possible.
