Thoughts and advises are what we get free these days. They may be related to admission of the kids, going to a place for holidays, or even investing in stock market. People carelessly gives advises to others regarding selection of their personal favorite stock. In case the stock price moves up they start giving more and more suggestions. And in case the price of the stock falls, then they don?t show their face to the person whom they once gave some suggestion. So it should be understood clearly by the people who like to gives suggestions to others that even if they are expert or have a long time experience they should keep quiet or give just their thought and then leave all the rest to the investor.

The big reason for stopping people from giving there advises regarding stock purchase and sale is due to the unknown movement of market. As the market moves at its own pace and hardly any single person can control it. Big players of the market even have to face big losses at such time. The amount of their loss equals our yearly income. So it is advised to the people to stay away from giving such suggestions to the people regarding stocks, as they are most unpredictable and most trustless things on earth.

The two most common phrases heard these days are,
1. Stock investments are changing life of the person.
2. Experienced are earning heavier profits.

Thus change of lives here means that a person can even earn huge profits from stock investing or even can loose all the wealth earned through out the lifetime. Many people loose their homes, bank balances, and the rest of the wealth just due to stock trading. Thus it is just the matter of chance when a person earns huge profits, and on the other hand years of experience can?t stop people from having losses in the market. Even the experienced people also have to face losses at sometimes.

2. Unaffected experienced people.

Although the people with a long experience understand the fact that while stock trading the chances of losses and profits are equal and like fifty-fifty percent. So they play in the market, as they are mentally ready to meet the losses and the immediate gain of wealth both together. They use the stop loss method through which the loss amount can be reduced. But the fact remains the same that they also face losses.
Therefore it can be concluded here that their is no hard and fast method of earning wealth from stock trading, just that long experience and low level of greediness can help a person to earn safely and reduce chances of bigger losses.
