Stock
trading is carried out by stock traders who for the most part need an
intermediate such as a brokerage firm or bank to carry out the trades.
Stock traders work for themselves by investing money in shares which
they believe will increase in value over time and then sell the shares
at a later date for profit.
There are a number of
strategies used by stock traders in order to accumulate profit. The
most popular stock trading strategies are day trading, swing trading,
value investing and growth trading. A brief description of each of
these strategies will now be given
* Day trading is a form of trading in which
are sold and bought during a single day so that at the end of
the day there is no change in the number of shares held. This is done
by selling a share each time another share of equivalent value is
bought. The profit or loss comes from the difference between the sale
price and the purchasing price of the share. The motivation behind day
trading is to avoid any overnight shocks that might occur on stock
markets. All
are held for a very short time period
* Swing traders hold
over a medium time period, say a couple of days or 1 or 2 weeks. Swing traders usually trade with
that are actively traded. These
swing between a very general high and low extreme. Swing traders must therefore purchase
at the low end of their value and then sell the shares when they swing back up.
*
Value investing is a method of stock trading in which traders purchase
shares in a company which they consider to have under-priced shares.
The hope is that by investing in the company the shares will eventually
increase in value.
* Growth investing is a method of
investing in companies that are showing signs of above average growth.
The share price may be more expensive than what it would be expected to
be however the view of the trader is that the share value will grow
into what it has been purchased for.
Stock trading does come
at a cost however. The high levels of risk and uncertainty as well as
the complex nature of stock trading is enough to deter most people from
becoming stock traders. There is also the brokerage fee charged by the
bank or the brokerage firm every time a transaction is
carried out. However all this aside there is still a considerable
chance of getting lucky as a stock trader which is enough to supply the
stock trading industry for the foreseeable future.
