Stock Picking Abilities

I love reading about successful traders and investors. I do it because I am interested but I also want to learn from them too. The one thing that makes these people stand out against the rest is their stock picking ability.

I have come to the conclusion that the only thing that these great traders have in common is their stock picking ability. Other than that, most of them seem completely different. Not just their backgrounds but also the way they think about the markets and how they interact with them.

As someone who was reading these books to improve my own stock picking, I was actually quite disappointed. I was disappointed because I wasn’t able to find a pattern with these traders and then implement it myself. If they are all different then how can I do that? Was there anything I could learn from the books other than having a good read?

My brain must’ve been working over time because I thought I had it. If there wasn’t just one system being used by these traders then may be I could use one to be successful as well. It has to be true doesn’t it? If there is more of something then it should be easier to find. So I didn’t waste my time with these books in the end.

Followin that thought I went back to the books to read them again. I thought to myself that now I understand that then perhaps I will be able to learn more. I am certain that I did. I learnt that each of the traders was using a stock picking system that fitted their personality. A trader that was a more calm than others had a less active system in place.

I hope that this has helped you believe that you have the ability to have a successful stock picking system yourself. All you need to do is find a system that suits your personality and you should be on the right lines.

Stock Picking Abilities

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. Some made it out of poverty while others cam from a rich household.

I did have an agenda when I was going through the 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 wouldn’t be able to follow every system would I? No one has the time or the ability to do that. I wondered if I should stop reading the books.

I was a little sad when I realised this. But then I had a new thought, something that seems obvious now. If each trader I read about was successful using a different system then there are obviously lots of systems out there for people to use. May be I could be a success?

I had an idea that I now be able to dig a little deeper into the books and learn a bit more. I went back to the books and read them again. I was able to get so much more out of them the second time around. This time I paid more attention to trader rather than the stock picking method. It became obvious that the systems that they were using were ones that matched their personalities.

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.
