Business Model Success

Running with the Stock Market

With the recent fall in the stock market, it became clear that many investors are not prepared for these events, many portfolios were completely eroded and a large amount of money changed hands. But why many people lose their money in the bag? Is there any way around it?

The stock market and Carlton Lewis

Imagine for a moment that touched him compete against Carlton "Carl" Lewis known as "Son of the Wind". If you do not know, was an American athlete Carl specialist sprint and long jump who won 10 Olympic medals. Chances are you did not know him personally but judging by his nickname and his medals, it's easy to think that is a tough rival.

Imagine also that you have two options to compete against Carl. The first is a competition, "shoulder to shoulder" of 100 meters, with a possible prize of $ 1000 and a possible loss of the same amount. In other words, you pay $ 1000 to compete against Carl and if he wins then recover their investment and get a 100% gain. Interesting indeed!. The big problem is quiereganarle Carl quesi you need many years of rigorous training, discipline and a good mental attitude.

The second option is to compete is only running one third of the way and make less money. What I mean is that you only run 30 meters while Carl run the same 100 meters and if you arrive primeroganará only $ 300 but if you get lost last $ 700. In this second scenario even though you may earn less, play the odds in your favor. Which of the two options would you choose?

To a reasonable person would easily understand that the second option you can generate wealth pordes reasons:

 

    * 1. It has a high probability of being first to Carl

    * 2. It needs years of experience or training less rough and be a great athlete. All you need is to start.

 

What you do not know is that the stock market in quite the same and even if you do not have to compete shoulder to shoulder against Carlton Lewis if you need to do against a faster opponent: the market itself. When you buy shares or contracts calls and puts, is running shoulder to shoulder with the market.

The stock market, a great opponent

In my opinion the market is much rougher than the same Carl, not only because it runs faster than investors but because it changes the playing field at will. Have you come across that just when he bought shares, the market crashed?, This is a very common and happens simply because the market does not care what you think. No matter if you think that rises or falls, the market will move in the direction he sees fit.

"Highly accurate appraisals of talent are a critical ingredient of an organization's success." as Dennis Carey, leading executive recruiter, says.

You can check stats and find that over 80% of investors lose their money in the stock market. The reason? Simply compete shoulder to shoulder against the market without the training, knowledge and discipline to do so.

You might ask Dennis Carey, or another CEO recruiter, Can I make money without being a good athlete?

As the above example, in the stock market you also have a second option to earn money without being a good athlete and with the odds in your favor. Have you heard of the Iron Condor?, Is one of my favorite strategies precisely because it gives me the opportunity to make money no matter which direction the market moves.

The Iron Condor is a neutral strategy is to generate money when the market moves within a range of prices. When you open an Iron Condor knows the exact amount of money you can win at the end of the month and he also knows that has a high probability of that gain. Whether there is a recession, no matter if there is no crisis, no matter whether the market rises or falls because the condor Iron gives you a moderate gain with a high probability.
