Trading Stocks
Trading stocks can be defined as the art of short to mid term stock market transactions, in order to profit from predictable market patterns and favorable statiscal odds.
You have read the magazines, you have followed the big online traders, and you have just opened your first online brokerage account.

Day Trading vs. Long Term Investing
If you have been following financial programs, newspapers or magazines recently, you have no doubt found that day/position trading is becoming the new "hot" topic of late.
Day trading is not easy. Many, many, new traders are flocking to the internet pursuing the dream of quitting their day jobs to spend their days in front of a computer, chatting with friends, and trading stocks.

Being a short-term stock trader is tough enough; being a successful, short-term stock trader, is another thing altogether.
If you are a position trader, try not to be in such a rush; especially in uncertain markets. A hasty click of the mouse can be a costly mistake.
