Short Term Trading

I want to do short-term trading at the moment but possibly to long term. My friend told me that I'm in reverse. Usually, people begin to long term then short. He said that short-term risk over the long term. More long-term dividend stocks are guaranteed money. However, it takes years to make a profit. I do not want to wait that long. I'm not afraid of money in the long either. I know I'll lose money at first, but I'll get better. What are the advantages and disadvantages of short-term and long term trading? And what do you think is best for me? Thank you.

Short term trading is not much less risky than gambling in Las Vegas. If you expect to make money, you're pretty much saying that your smarter than the market - ie, people who do this for a living.

In the late 90s, was a businessman everyobody day, and since the market was rising, they were all making money, and so they all thought they were brilliant. Then came the slowdown of 2000-2003, and they all lost their shirts.

You can get the chance to short-term trading, but for me it is a curse more than a blessing, because you think you're good at it, leading you to take more risks.

If you try to do day trading, I recommend this strategy for each stock you buy, put in a stop order at a price 10-12% below your purchase price. In this way, at least you limit your losses.

As "boring" as he is the only proven method and you fire to make money on the market is steady investments (like every paycheck) in the long term. I used to be an investment adviser Series 7-licensed, and my money in mutual funds - low maintenance, professional management, diversification.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

long term is always better to avoid short term volatility of the market. In its short duration generally very difficult to predict market movements
