Investing To Win

The majority of people do not invest to win, rather they invest not to lose. Meaning that they're happy with breaking even, or simply preserving their capital. But real investors are people who invest to win a solid return back. They go in intelligently.

There are still the category of people who never invest, and expect that other people or their company will take care of them when they're old and want to retire. These people are not even in the race of investing at all, but when you think about it - they're almost the same as people who invest not to lose.

A person who doesn't invest at all, in fact saves his time. The reason why you must always aim to win when you go into investment is because your time is involved. Assuming you're doing an investment for 3 months, and by the end of the 3 months, you made no profits - that's really bad investment.

It's bad investment because you've lost time, within that 3 months. And that money would have been used to invest on other things that would have generated some returns. Hence, you shouldn't be happy when you spend time investing or trading - only to end up exactly where you started.

You need to think more positively, and ensure that your focus isn't to preserve your capital - but increase your money, and win in that investment. Because if you're not aiming at winning in your investments, then it may be better not to invest at all - and save yourself all the troubles.
