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
