Stocks

Day trading is a very fast‐paced investment strategy, relying on quick, often
emotional, decisions from the investor. Day trading relies on the daily fluctuation of
stock values. Investors hope to ideally buy stock at its lowest value that day,sell it
later that day at its peak value, and earn the difference. Day traders do not care as
much about what company they are buying stock in, only on that stock’s potential
for growth that day. There are many subtle strategies to day trading, along with a
keen sense for stocks that are about to gain value, that make an investor successful.
Because of the rapid pace of day trading, it has a notorious reputation for
huge returns, as well as huge losses. Many single investors make millions of dollars
per year solely with a day trading strategy, though this kind of return requires an
experienced investor willing to take significant risks. Day trading can be so risky
that, with a series of poor decisions, an investor can loose their entire working
capital in one day.
“The professional day trader must be able to say: "The facts are in front of me; my analysis of the situation is this; therefore I will do this and this."
