Traders do not control the market, traders are simply participants following forces outside of their control in hopes of taking profit. Therefore it is essential to have keen awareness as market conditions develop. It is not about what happens, but how you react!
ASK YOURSELF HOW WOULD YOU REACT?
A very large bank is uncovered for fraud?
There has been a hack on a credit card company leaking sensitive consumer data?
The largest deposit of gold ore has been discovered?
A method of getting 50% more Miles per gallon is found?
Earnings missed expectations for an investment with no particular good reason?
A safe breakthrough drug making past treatments obsolete?
A drug in the market for the past two decades linked to ill health effects with prolonged use?
There is rumors that a company you invest in fabricated its product ability?
NOW WHAT WOULD YOU DO? All these are incidents that has happened or could happen. Are you prone to overreacting or under-reacting? How much credibility do you give each scenario? How long do you have from the incident and when adverse affects occur?
As you can see it's not about what happens, but how you react, unfortunately that means you'll end up with more questions than answers. One last thing.... EVERY CASE IS DIFFERENT!!!
