In my small unique book «The small stock trader» I also had more detailed overview
of tens
of stock trading mistakes (http://thesmallstocktrader.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/stock-day-trading-mistakessinceserrors-that-cause-90-
of-stock-traders-lose-money/): • EGO (thinking you are a walking think tank, not accepting and learning from you mistakes, etc.) • Lack
of passion and
entering into stock trading with unrealistic expectations about the learning time and performance, without realizing that it often takes 4 - 5 years to learn how it works and that even +50 % annual performance in the long run is very good • Poor self - esteem / self - knowledge • Lack
of focus • Not working ward enough and treating your stock trading as a hobby instead
of a small business • Lack
of knowledge and experience • Trying to imitate others instead
of developing your unique stock trading philosophy that suits best to your personality • Listening to others instead
of doing your own
research • Lack
of recordkeeping • Overanalyzing and overcomplicating things (Zen - like simplicity is the key) • Lack
of flexibility to adapt to the always / quick - changing stock market • Lack
of patience to learn stock trading properly, wait to
enter into the positions and let the winners run (inpatience
results in overtrading, which in turn
results in high transaction costs) • Lack
of stock trading plan that defines your goals, entry / exit points, etc. • Lack
of risk management rules on stop losses, position sizing, leverage, diversification, etc. • Lack
of discipline to stick to your stock trading plan and risk management rules • Getting emotional (fear, greed, hope, revenge, regret, bragging, getting overconfident after big wins, sheep - like crowd - following behavior, etc.) • Not knowing and understanding the competition • Not knowing the catalysts that trigger stock price changes • Averaging down (adding to losers instead
of adding to winners) • Putting your stock trading capital in 1 - 2 or more than 6 - 7 stocks instead
of diversifying into about 5 stocks • Bottom / top fishing • Not understanding the specifics
of short selling • Missing this market / industry / stock connection, the big picture, and only focusing on the specific stocks • Trying to predict the market / economy instead
of just listening to it and going against the trend instead
of following it
To determine how much ice and snowfall
enters a specific ice shelf and how much makes it to an iceberg, where it may split off, the
research team used a regional climate model for snow accumulation and combined the
results with ice velocity data from satellites, ice shelf thickness measurements from NASA's Operation IceBridge — a continuing aerial survey
of Earth's poles — and a new map
of Antarctica's bedrock.
Results of individual studies have suggested that some children who
enter into intensive autism - specialized intervention services at young ages may show larger gains in terms
of cognitive and adaptive functioning and early educational attainment than children who do not receive such services.2, — , 6 This
research led to a reconceptualization
of ASDs as a group
of disorders marked by plasticity and heterogeneity and for which there was hope for better outcomes for some children who receive appropriate intervention.
