 Why do most of the traders fail to make money? Can a 12th pass candidate earns millions from the stock market...   Emotions play a very crucial role in trading in the stock market. I have observed that many times a well educated person (i.e. Technical Analyst) fails to make money and a common person who knows nothing about it but basics does wonder.  How does it happen? See, Stock Market is filled with the numerous of brains which comprises of several major emotions which every human being does carry i.e. Fear, Greed, Anger and Hope. And these emotions have no link with the education qualification of any person. A highly graduated masters degree holder or a normal graduated person both can have these emotions. Major winner will always be the person who will manage their emotions, not the one who is more qualified.

  Truth behind trading in the stock market. There are a lot of advisors in the stock market (i.e. so called 'Technical Analyst') who keep predicting levels of the security weather it is a 'Stock' ( e.g. Reliance, Tata motors, Cipla etc.) or an 'Index' (e.g. Nifty, Bank Nifty etc..) with so much of conviction that you can't stop yourself besides believing to those.

Are "Institutional Investors" the only one who has the right to make money?  These types of so many questions I was asking to myself and when you ask questions there is an answer. I was reading a very nice book where a concept of 80/20 pareto principle was nicely explained. I would like to summarize the whole book concept and betting that it will definitely help you provide an edge in investing. Firstly, I would like to brief you about Pareto principles. What does it say?  This is the principle of "Vital Few" which says 80% consequences come from 20% causes. It applies everywhere. Firstly, it is observed in 'ITALY' where 80% of land was occupied by 20% of the population. Another observation is that 20% is the conclusion of the whole book, 20% of your clothes you wear 80% of the time. Remember it is not a thumb rule but is just an observation and this simple observation works  wonders in the 'Stock Market...

Economic Analysis Economic Analysis is the primary term or factor which is used before any kind of investment. It stands first in top-down approach i.e EIC (Economy | Industry | Company ) So it should not be ignored as it plays a vital role to impact the stocks and their performance.
