Surefire ways to succeed in the stock market - know your niche, evaluate investment risk, diversify your portfolio and invest according to your risk.

use the Risk management Pyramid concept.

Base of the Pyramid -should consist of low risk investments like bonds, mutual funds, ETF's and others.

Middle tier - consist of stocks, CD's and others

Summit - consist of high risk investments such as option trading, collectibles and others.

From there, you will have an idea on where to put your money and how much.

If you are working with a financial advisor to help you with your investment, be sure that you invest according to what you think is best and not because your advisor tells you to. It is your money and you should be more involved in your investments. Also, choose an advisor that has years of experience in the trading floor.

Risk tolerance comes in two parts, capacity to accept risk and willingness to accept risk.

Take for example Ms. Budgetbabe. She has tremendous capacity to take on risk (she’s young, has few dependants, stable employement, reserve capital, etc). However, equally important is one’s own internal willingness to take on risk. This is where the differences between men and women are quite marked. Men are generally willing to take on risk beyond their capacity while women dislike taking on risk upto their capacity.
A decent advisor should have explained the two concepts (and their difference) to a client. They shouldn’t push clients into risks they have no willingness to accept, they should explain that a client’s willingness is quite different from their tolerance and let the client make an informed decision. Of course wise council is rare and should be valued.

I think that most planners overlay there own risk factor on to clients. This is probably a survival tactic as many advisors blew up or were arbitrated into oblivion after the dot.com disaster. If you are risky by nature speak up if you have an advisor. Good advisors are more likely to understimate a young persons risk tolerance, or accurately estimate what is too painful for you to acknowledge. Good luck….

It is so true that without risk there is no reward.

What is the worst that can happen? We lose some money and we make a mistake. money can be made again and mistakes can be learnt from.
