The stock market is often described as an opportunity for anyone to make easy money. The truth is, investing in stocks requires discipline, patience and a structured approach. It also requires patience and a long-term investment horizon.

It’s easy to be enticed by the promises of rapid returns or a quick fix but the reality is that investing in stocks can be a long process that involves a lot of highs and lows. However, the rewards of long-term investing can be significant. Here are some share market tips that beginners need to know before they begin.

Don’t be a Jack of All Trades

A common mistake among new investors is jumping from one investment strategy to the other. This can be costly, especially for those who are just beginning to learn. For instance, some novices attempt to be “jacks of all trades” and switch from trading and buying short-term investments (options or futures) to investing in US stocks. This strategy is risky as well as expensive since it entails many transaction fees, currency conversion charges, and exchange rates.

Follow a single investment strategy instead, and concentrate on the value of a stock in the long-term. Avoid rushing to react and focusing on the short-term effects of events. Make sure you check your stocks each quarter or when you receive quarterly reports. But most importantly, don’t get in trying to find the next big thing.
