Understanding Investors is Essential for Successful Investing
On this Internet site, the word "investors" also means stock market traders. Under FIFTITM Education, Understanding Investors directs you to dozens of Internet sites. They provide free education to help you understand how investing is affected by your own emotions, discipline and thinking, and the sentiments of others. The education is divided into five sections: - Understanding Ourselves
- Investor Sentiment
- Contrarian Views
- Scandals
- Glossaries
Under these heading there are links to dozens of Internet sites that will not cost you a cent. The education about Understanding Ourselves explores why money management is so difficult and, if you wish, goes deep into behavioral finance. Investor Sentiment tells you the sites where you can find out about surveys of investor sentiment, insider trading and the technical indicators that show investors' attitudes. The way to make the most money in investing is to invest against the crowd, so long as your timing is good. Contrarian Views provides links to Internet sites that will educate you about investing against the crowd. Unfortunately, it is necessary to take precautions regarding the improper financial practices and outright fraudulent behavior that occur when there is money to be made. The Section on Scandals links to Internet sites that will educate you about some of the problems of investing. The Glossaries ensure that you can understand the special terms that are used in the investing world.
