Is It Easy To Make Money Investing In Shares?

In today’s post we are going to look at investing money in the Stock Market, and will discuss some of the Share strategies that are available to use in this current economic climate. Not all wealth creation strategies are created equal, although as we have discussed before it is usually not the strategy that loses you money, it is the mindset in charge of it.

Making Money And Keeping It

So the trick is not just to make money  when trading stocks, it is to keep it as well. Making a $200,000 profit is not much fun if you follow it up with a $300,000 loss. There are some great share strategies that will not only allow you to make a lot of upside potential, they will also allow you to protect your capital 100%.

We have spoken in the past about using Put Options in combination with you Share Trading Strategies. By giving up a few percent of your possible gains, you can have complete peace of mine knowing that if the Market turns against you, you will have full equity protection.

Some of you may not like to give up some of your gains, and there is another part to this strategy that may swing you in favour. Of the Shares that you do want to invest in, look for ones that offer a good dividend yield. There are many quality Shares that offer a dividend that will nearly equal the price of a long term Put Option. In doing so, you will not have to give up any of the upside potential at all.

So know we know how to make money and to protect our investment, we still need to know when to take your profits from the market. Many Share Traders will take their profits too quickly and will miss out on a lot of future profit because they get scared they will lose money. There are many mechanical trading systems out there that can systematically take your profits according to technical analysis, yet this can be a full time job in itself.

A much more simpler system that will only take you a few minutes is to sell your Put Option on the shares and then purchase another one that is nearly ‘At The Money’. By doing so you have essentially locked in all your profits, yet you can continue to take advantage of any upside potential without the fear of losing it.

Many people like to over complicate trading and come up with all manner of rules and techniques to get money in and out of the market. When you want to create real wealth, go back to basics, protect your capital and lock in all profits. You can make money in the Stock market, and you can keep it all too.
