How to Trade in Stock Market

I’m sure you must have come across this question at a dinner party or a gathering. These days, it’s common to see people talk about the stock market and the wonders it presents.

Stock trading is basically buying and selling shares in companies to make quick money based on daily or weekly change in price.

While people investing for the long haul are called long term investors, the individuals who want to make quick money and don’t have the patience to wait for a long time are called traders.

Traders watch the short-term fluctuations closely and try to make profits by buying low and selling high. They can also do vice versa and go short if they feel it’s an overvalued stock.

Let us be very clear. While trading in stock market can bring quick gains in literally no time, it also carries the risk of substantial losses.
