There are four basics characters in man and woman to watch out for. These are the characters that can influence a man's investment plans either positively or negatively. 

Before investing, you have to be in charge of your mind. Don't invest out of impulse. This has led many people into making poor investment decisions, and the consequences are always catastrophic. This leads us to what we can call the idol of the mind. There are some people today who still believe that investing in stocks is a form of gambling and therefore, since they are not gamblers and are not ready to gamble, it is better for them to stay off stocks. They believe that since there is nothing like professional gambling, there could never be a professional investor in stocks. Instead of seeing investments in stocks as a security for their future, especially when the company you choose to invest in is solid, these set of people decide to keep their money in banks.

One thing we must know is that life itself is a risk. This life is just a battlefield, and no one goes to the battle field without scars. 

So you can't play the stock market without losses in some trades, nobody will promise you that, but the aim is to minimize your losses and maximize your profits. And that is why you really need to acquire knowledge about investing. There is no neutrality in life, it's either you are a success or a failure and what determines your success in life is your investments. 

If you don't conquer poverty, it will conquer you. So decide to start investing today in order to secure your tomorrow. Have a concrete investment goal, adhere to it and you will see success coming your way. If you invest in nothing, you will reap nothing, but if you invest in something valuable, you will definitely have a valuable profit in return. Your failure or success tomorrow starts today. The error of judgments of yesterday is what is manifesting as poverty and failure in the lives of many today. 

If you fail to get a quality education today due to the fact that there are lots of graduates roaming about without jobs, and for that reason, you decide not to go to school at all, be sure that poverty is waiting for you tomorrow. If you loose some money in stocks today, and therefore decide to turn away completely from stock or other forms of investments, know that you are doing yourself a dis-service. The truth is that without any concrete investment goal, there can never be success. 

After all, it is when you sow a good seed that you can expect to have a bountiful harvest, but if you fail to sow, you can't expect to harvest anything. There are many other factors that militate against sound investments, though we are focusing our discussions here on stocks investments. Note that there are many other types of investments, so investments are not only stocks, but we are mainly talking about stocks here because it is the basis of our discussions here. Generally, investments are places you stake risks in order to profit tomorrow, the higher the risk, the higher the profit potentials. 

This is going to be our topic of discussion on another day.  Invest wisely.
