What type of investor are you?

Before you start buying stocks, the most important thing is to know yourself first. Are you an investor, a trader, or a gambler? It is important to know your appetite for gains and your fortitude for losses.

Investors are stock traders that study the market through fundamentals, charts and of course, broker recommendations. Investors are happy with the dividends and the steady price volatility of their equities.

Traders or punters, (in local terms are called “chupiteros”) speculate using volume, price movements, charts, resistance and break out prices. As long as there is buying or selling pressure, traders are in for the action. The most important rule for traders is preservation of capital, so they know when to run with their profits or cut their losses. Being a trader takes experience, and discipline.

Are you a Gambler?

The gamblers are the ones that go in blind in the market. They get their recommendations from so called financial gurus, or happen to hear someone making a killing in the market and are curious to get into action. They would ask around from friends for “tips.” If they happen to catch a good wave, they win big, and are excited for more, but in the end, when they treat the market as a casino, the inevitable happens, the House always wins.
