Do you want to know what makes certain traders more successful than others
? You aren't the only one. I have read so many books over the years and it is obvious to me their it is their stock picking that really makes them stand out.
Following reading these books I have drawn the conclusion that there isn't really anything they have in common other than their superior ability at stock picking. Some started trading early, some late. Others came from privileged backgrounds while some made it out of poverty.
I had an objective reading these books. Yes I enjoyed them but I wanted to learn from these traders to improve my own stock picking (which has been very questionable over the years!). But if each trader trades differently then what could I learn? I can't follow all their systems can I? No one has the time or the ability to do that. I wondered if I should stop reading the books.
I then thought to myself that I could learn from these books. I thought that if there isn't just one system, then may be I have more chance in finding one. If each of these traders were using a separate system to trade and being successful at it then may be I could too.
I thought to myself that I would be able to learn more from these books following on from this insight. I went back to the books and read them again. This time I learnt a lot more even though it was my second read. This time I paid more attention to trader rather than the stock picking method. I discovered that the method that they were using fitted their personality perfectly.
Now if you thought that you didn't have the ability to create a successful stock picking system then I would urge you to think again. Why shouldn't you? Just think about a style that suits you as a person.
