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
Regardless
of the methods used by Noodle (a snake that — shockingly — moves around exactly like one would) to get his game approved by the platforming police, one
thing is for sure: by placing the unlikely hero in settings that have all staples
of the genre — like gaps, moving pieces, water, tall structures that need to be climbed, fire pits, deadly spikes, and
small platforms — the folks at Sumo Digital unearthed an incredibly original concept with such an inborn
simplicity that it is sort
of uncanny nobody had ever thought about it (or maybe someone had done so but ended up being stopped by mysterious dark forces).
