Trader and Investor



A noticeable trend to those who are familiar with the stock market. There are two groups of people. The traders and the investors. If you thrive in volatility and frequently ride onto positive momentum with the aim of making a short term profit, then you are a trader. If you look more into the balance sheet of a company and is willing to hold on to your position for medium to long term than you are an investor. There is no right and wrong in this two positions, but rather there are differences in perception.

Investors accept the efficient market hypothesis(EMH) which suggest that no investor will have any advantage in predicting a return on a stock price as no one has access to information not already available to everyone else. Traders on the other hand rejects this.

Traders treat stocks as a medium to be exchanged for profits, which means sectors, cap size and growth pattern are less important for them. Investors however, treat stocks as a share of ownership in a company and that each shares represent a percentage of their claim on assets and earnings.

Investors do comparisons between stocks of the same sector to assess their value and look into their revenue, cash flow, earnings and other fundamental criteria before making their decision, but traders predominately look at the sentimental indicators and judge primarily on how the charts behave.

Since the 1980s, the time horizon of virtually all market participants has shrunk considerably, Mainly due to the technological revolution. The shortening of the time horizon means that the position of long term investors may not be as smooth sailing as before mainly due to more random noises. Paradoxically this also means that technical indicators are not as effective as before(bad news for short term traders).

Both positions are by no means easy, as initial success can lead to overconfidence and then failure. Charles H.Dow, the father of technical analysis, once wrote that "Pride of opinion caused the downfall of more men on Wall Street than all the other opinions put together" I agree with this statement. As I believe ultimately, markets are reflection of peoples action. Whether you are a long term investor or a short term trader(especially), there is a need to adjust our attitudes as changes in the market emerges. Not giving up too much to random chances makes us learn a little more about our own makeup, don't you think?

  1. Halo semuanya, Nama saya Siska wibowo saya tinggal di Surabaya di Indonesia, saya seorang mahasiswa, saya ingin menggunakan kesempatan ini untuk mengingatkan semua pencari pinjaman untuk sangat berhati-hati karena ada banyak perusahaan pinjaman penipuan dan kejahatan di sini di internet , Sampai saya melihat posting Bapak Suryanto tentang Nyonya Esther Patrick dan saya menghubunginya melalui email: (estherpatrick83@gmail.com)

    Beberapa bulan yang lalu, saya putus asa untuk membantu biaya sekolah dan proyek saya tetapi tidak ada yang membantu dan ayah saya hanya dapat memperbaiki beberapa hal yang bahkan tidak cukup, jadi saya mencari pinjaman online tetapi scammed.

    Saya hampir tidak menyerah sampai saya mencari saran dari teman saya Pak Suryanto memanggil saya pemberi pinjaman yang sangat andal yang meminjamkan dengan pinjaman tanpa jaminan sebesar Rp200.000.000 dalam waktu kurang dari 24 jam tanpa tekanan atau tekanan dengan tingkat bunga rendah 2 %. Saya sangat terkejut ketika saya memeriksa rekening bank saya dan menemukan bahwa nomor saya diterapkan langsung ditransfer ke rekening bank saya tanpa penundaan atau kekecewaan, segera saya menghubungi ibu melalui (estherpatrick83@gmail.com)

    Dan juga saya diberi pilihan apakah saya ingin cek kertas dikirim kepada saya melalui jasa kurir, tetapi saya mengatakan kepada mereka untuk mentransfer uang ke rekening bank saya, karena saya berjanji bahwa saya akan membagikan kabar baik sehingga orang bisa mendapatkan pinjaman mudah tanpa stres atau penundaan.

    Yakin dan yakin bahwa ini asli karena saya memiliki semua bukti pemrosesan pinjaman ini termasuk kartu ID, dokumen perjanjian pinjaman, dan semua dokumen. Saya sangat mempercayai Madam ESTHER PATRICK dengan penghargaan dan kepercayaan perusahaan yang sepenuh hati karena dia benar-benar telah membantu hidup saya membayar proyek saya. Anda sangat beruntung memiliki kesempatan untuk membaca kesaksian ini hari ini. Jadi, jika Anda membutuhkan pinjaman, silakan hubungi Madam melalui email: (estherpatrick83@gmail.com)

    Anda juga dapat menghubungi saya melalui email saya di (siskawibowo71@gmail.com) jika Anda merasa kesulitan atau menginginkan prosedur untuk mendapatkan pinjaman

    Sekarang, yang saya lakukan adalah mencoba untuk memenuhi pembayaran pinjaman bulanan yang saya kirim langsung ke rekening bulanan Nyonya seperti yang diarahkan. Tuhan akan memberkati Nyonya ESTHER PATRICK untuk Segalanya. Saya bersyukur
