Is Active Trading The Answer?
By Christopher W Smith


Unsecured Loans
Another large garage bill makes you wonder if it`s really worth spending any more money on the car. It has reached the time in its life when it`s started to cost you in upkeep and a newer model might prove to be less bothersome. With no savings to speak of you might be considering one of the Unsecured Loans that a price comparison site has pinpointed for your needs. You looked at the Unsecured Loans a few months ago but haven`t done anything about it since. Using the website that searches for low cost loans is easy as you simply enter the loan amount that you are interested in, the time period that you need it for and the purpose of the loan. The company will also need your employment status and some information about you. An initial assessment will take place for the best quote available and once the loan comparison sitee has found the best quote, they`ll be in touch with you. Think about the type of car that you could get with one of the Unsecured Loans and how much cheaper it would be to run. You could even combine a few of your other smaller loans into the new one to cut down on your monthly outgoings.

One of the main reasons many of us get into investing is to become financially independent. Who isn`t trying to amass a portfolio with enough income to ensure that we don`t have to work when we should be playing golf or traveling the world. While there are several strategies to invest, is active trading one of the ways to become a millionaire?

For those investors who want to achieve that million dollar portfolio, you may want to read The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas Stanley and William Danko. While it wont help you identify great stock picks (but investorandtrader.com can help), it will help you to establish the difference between those who dream of having a million dollar net worth, and those who do it. You may be surprised at the answers.

While I won`t give away all the secrets, I will share one of the surprising findings which impact investors over the long term.

95% owned stocks

9% of investors held for less than 1 year

1% held for a few days

1% held for a few weeks

7% held for a few months

Less than 10%, less than 1 in 10 people with net worth of $1 millionaire or more actively trade their portfolios. Most definitions of active traders would mean that 1 in 100 are active traders. 99% of millionaires do not actively trade their positions. They hold for long periods of time. They find good companies and let the companies make them money.

The biggest problem with active trading is the commission, and the taxes. Your brokerage gets paid whether you make money or not. Making the presumption that you`re trading with a discount broker, you`re paying $20 ($10 to buy, $10 to sell) each time you trade. If you do make money, you`re paying taxes on that gain. At the end of the year, you get to keep a portion. Make 2 trades per week, and you will spend over $2000 a year in commission. If you lost money, add $2000 to your losses. If you made money, subtract tax, and then subtract $2000 more.

It takes a lot of successful trades to make money. While it can happen, sometimes, just finding a good quality stock and sticking to them, might just be your key to a million dollar portfolio.

That`s just one guys opinion.
