The Different Kinds of Thinking in the Head of a Novice Investor


Money is objective because when people spend it, it circulates all over the city and the country. Stock markets facilitate the movement of this money based on critical decisions and analysis. For novice and young investors, the perspective can be different than that of experienced investors, as the latter have more experience in terms of investment consequences.



1.    Fearful
The stock market is a new world for a new or young investor, and often they would go for minimal risks. Being fearful, the new blood of the money jungle easily falls prey to taking sporadic action all at once. When other investors, especially the experienced ones, are starting to sell their stocks, the novice investor will follow suit, thinking it as a proper decision.

2.    Excessive
With great money comes a great lust for materialistic intent, and when a novice sees his or her stock grow great profit, this temptation becomes stronger. Remember, you are investing for your future and for possible financial emergencies, and the stock market can help you in that situation. Even if the stock does well today that you could sell half your shares to buy things you want, it does not guarantee to have the similar values in the future.

3.    Insufficiently Systematic
Novices tend to adopt systems from experienced investors who had found the methods effective, but often, novices fail to notice that certain parameters exist to make such financial methods work. Typically, an investor’s situation is different from another investor. A systematic investor is an effective investor, but taking note of the smallest detail there is could greatly help.
