10 Simple Habits to Improve Your Investing Results Immediately

Taking good care of your money is essential for your financial independence.  One reliable way is investing in the stock market which has experienced incredible gains over time. Growing your wealth through investing can be simple and be rewarding.  Whether you are a beginner or even if you are an advanced investor it’s possible for you to grow your wealth. Start with spending the time to create a strategy for you to refer to. Begin to cultivate good investing habits. The more consistent habits you develop, the better investment decisions you will make that will be profitable for your financial security.

Why not set yourself up for success today? Start with a powerful winning money mindset. Create an investment plan that has your money working for you, both for the short and long term.  Be intentional about what you want to accomplish. Don’t let investing intimidate you. There is no need to get stressed out. By paying attention, and with some preparation, it’s possible for you to learn simple strategies and develop good investing habits so that you will be prepared to take advantage of investing opportunities.

Investing in the stock market is a long-term commitment, not a get rich scheme. I know from personal experience not only as an investor but as a portfolio manager for over 35 years, that it’s possible to grow wealth.  The stock market has an upward bias.  However, the stock market sometimes falls 1-2% in one day or falls sharply a few days in a row.  You might feel a bit scared at times. However, you want to avoid being guided by your emotions. In its place, set yourself up for success by turning to simple strategies for guidance when to act.

Although it’s impossible to be perfect investing, you want to keep risk at the forefront of your mind. Protect your assets and focus on capital preservation to help you achieve your financial goals. This will help you alleviate any stress or uneasiness you might have. In the long run, having a strategy that focuses on risk management is the key to growing and sustaining your wealth.

Start with implementing an investment plan that has an exit strategy that tells you when to reduce your investment holdings, so you limit your losses.

My rule is this: if you are not sleeping at night, then your investment portfolio is not correct for you, it’s time to make a change. ~Bonnie Gortler
