I'm going to list a few reasons, kindly read below..


Absence of Planning

Prepared speculators will in general have an arrangement dependent on statistical data points. First-time speculators, nonetheless, frequently surrender to the speculating game and aimlessly put resources into stocks that have all the earmarks of being performing great. The disadvantage to not having an appropriate arrangement set up is that you have no closure objective, and thus, your speculation example can be very whimsical. This, thus, could transform you into a foolish speculator, bringing about more prominent misfortunes in case you're not cautious.

No Stop Losses

Individuals neglect to understand the significance of stoplosses. For the unenlightened, stop misfortune in an exchange is the lower furthest reaches that you can set while purchasing/selling a stock, which implies that if the offer value tumbles to that level, the exchange is naturally gotten down to business. Individuals, generally out of lack of concern and bogus expectations, don't utilize stoplosses. This outcomes in misfortunes greater than tolerable.

Not Listening to Appropriate Advice and Warning

Trading and Exchanging has become less complex these days as many individuals/associations have begun their advisory services. These are fruitful experts that lead legitimate research and suggest stocks dependent on that, generally. It is basic that you follow some great advisory services, particularly on the off chance that you are a beginner in stock market.

Neglecting To Diversify or as individuals state keeping all your investments tied up on one place. At the point when speculators put all their cash in one stock or protections, they are in danger of instability and outrageous value developments, and if the organization stock drop they will bring about a colossal misfortune.

A Lot Of Diversifying Is Hard To Oversee: It would be ideal to have 5-6 stocks in your portfolio at a time and presumably not many more on your venture radar yet without reserves submitted. Except if it is your everyday work, it is hard to follow more than small bunch stocks all at once. It is smarter to become more acquainted with the stocks well, and if some stock gives you a miss, better cut it off totally and proceed onward. We need to keep the pipeline full to guarantee we would not run out of thoughts when the current ventures either saturates or gives us a miss.
 
Well said, I have a friend who lost is savings and loan from bank because he doesn't listen to people advise and always follow is own wish and decision. He couldn't stop lossing money on the trade and never seems to stop.
 
Very good list, where I would add studying. It's important to study before investing in stocks. Here in Brazil (and Europe too) there are poadcasts teaching how and where to invest, but to choose the right ones, it's important to know business laws, economics and tax laws. These help to predict the market development (ok, predictions may fail, talking about the market, but we can got ideas).
 
For me generally ,I had good insight into the stock exchange market in around 12 years ago. I had recently graduated and invested more then.Hoewever, inrespective of the good stocks I bought,the economy crash then cost me serious loss and since then I never dip myself on stock market again. Rather than that, I go for landed property.
 
  • Not Understanding the Investment.
  • Falling in Love With a Company.
  • Lack of Patience.
  • Too Much Investment Turnover.
  • Attempting to Time the Market.
  • Waiting to Get Even.
  • Failing to Diversify.
  • Letting Your Emotions Rule.
 
I am not into stock trading but I know of some investors who bought stocks that later on would have no value. One stock is Piltel which is the telecommunications company that sells pagers. Business was booming that their stocks topped the 20 per share mark which started at 5 only. Unfortunately after a year of the boom came the bomb when the cellphone started selling in the market. Slowly but surely the Piltel stocks went down and in 6 months it was nearing extinction.
 
In the stock market in life nothing is certain. There are a number of opportunities for creating wealth in stock market but there are number of mistakes done by investors also. The biggest mistake is to freaking out in market drops and trading too frequently and one more that investors put all their eggs in a single basket.
 
The person which have no experience in stock market, when invest on wrong time like when stock is at high rate and he purchased it. After he has not patience for sale. Investor make big mistake when they purchase stock with highly interest. A good planning saves investor's investment from a big loss.
 
I will only add your thread on the mistakes of investors in the stock market, among others: Buying expensive, selling cheap, Margins are too big, Too confident, Stuck in risky short-term transactions,
Do not understand the fundamental side, are easily discouraged, are trapped in cheap stocks, even though they are not potential, are afraid to buy stocks when the market is down, do not care about portfolios, are too afraid of losses
 
A very good analysis. I think people make mistakes in stock market by letting their emotions cloud their reason, sometimes they invest in a company only because they like the company. Unfortunately, most of the time the stocks fail and they loose a lot of money.
 
Investors fail because they believe in their ability to time the market or pick the right stocks. ... Investors fail because we don't possess the required knowledge and experience to make consistently good decisions.
 
In my experience, the biggest mistake stock market investors make is they have no idea how to evaluate a stock.

The reason most retail investors (+90% according to some estimates) lose money is they don’t understand the fundamentals of what they’re investing in. People spend more time researching the purchase of a new car than they do putting the same amount of money (or more) into buying stocks. They buy shares in firms whose names they recognize, brands they like, or dubious stock tips they saw on TV or read about online. They chase investing trends and “hot stocks” because they have a fear of missing out. In a real sense, they are gambling: placing their bets and hoping the stock goes up with no real sense of why it would or wouldn’t.
 
You have said it all sir, you know understanding differs, in everything you do there are procedures, laws and principles. If you are a trader and you don't know the procedures cum laws guiding your business your finished, some people claim they know it all, when they have little or no idea of what they are doing and it always end it in tears.

thank you very much for taking your time to teach us about the mistake stock market traders make while trading... one has to be careful and observant of the trends that are going in the stock market to avoid making losses
 
That was a very good point you outlined.When i wanted to invest into stock some few years ago,one of the things i got was a professional advice from a stock broker,and that really helped me into knowing where to invest and it really worked for me.
 
Great insight my friend. But I think the biggest mistake they make is not learning we about the stock market before going ahead to invest in it.
 
Buying of stocks because of it trading brings alot of problem and downfall to an expert it self
 
The biggest mistake stock market Investors usually make is never to take profit. This is a big mistake that has been causing them to lose more money in the business
 
The biggest mistake stock Investors do make is never to diversify their Investment. A lot of investors put all their money in one basket and I think that is really not good enough at all
