In order to be a successful investor, one will have to study the psychology of investing as it will help him immensely in the job.

A technical and a fundamental analysis are required to invest wisely in stocks and other financial instruments. One has to have a clear trading strategy in mind that managed risks and does a good portfolio management for us. As an investor, one must have a positive personality and look to the future similarly. People who have negative personality may be unsuccessful as investors because this particular trait prevents them from investing wisely as they are forever worrying about the outcome.

Let us see the different types of investors.

The Tape Watcher Investor

Normally, a tape watcher is glued to the live data al day long on he media and whenever the price of a particular share or bond he has invested in goes up, he begins to think that he has made the correct decision and whenever the prices fall, he feels he has made a wrong financial decision in investing in a particular stock and so the entire tape watching experience is more of an emotional experience than a practical one. One doe not have to brood over the losses and will have to think constructively in order to move ahead in investment management.

The Uncertain Investor

Lot of persons is unsure about their decisions and seldom able to make good investors as they are uncertain about the initiatives they take. They do not want to take risks and we all know that in the financial market. People who can take risks are able to get greater rewards in the long run. In such a case, people are advised not to take hasty decisions.

The Roller Coaster Investor

These types of investors follow the current trend in the market and generally tends to buy or sell stocks when they see others doing the same and this may not be the right thing to do as the stock market is guided by many external factors and may necessarily not have anything to do with the original value of the shares, they have put their money in and so in order to make correct decisions, they should study the market carefully before making any investment.
