Being a private trader who has been consistently profitable for many years, I often get questions from friends and acquaintances about the best stocks to buy now. Whenever the markets are performing poorly, this question changes to: How do I select the best stocks to buy or trade in this environment?
I have often given the same answer to these questions regardless of how markets were performing in that period. My response has always been: The question about which stock to buy comes much later; first, one needs to ask whether they have a trading strategy with a proven track record or a proper plan regarding how they will approach their stock trading journey.
Trading is like any competitive sport where your competition doesn’t tell you what you should be doing. However, there is a proper regimen and training that, if followed, can help you get way ahead of the competition. At Enlightened Stock Trading, we teach you that.
If anyone is telling you that they can tell you the best stocks to buy at any time, run away from them as fast as you can. We don’t tell you what individual stocks to buy or sell or, for that matter, which crypto to buy. Instead, we help you develop a probabilistic, math-driven mindset with which you can decide for yourself which stocks to buy and which to avoid. We believe in systematic trading, i.e. creating a trading strategy, backtesting it and then deploying it to get long-term market-beating results.
Our Trading Q&A videos and articlesin this collection help you find answers to common questions that most traders, whether discretionary or systematic, have. If you, until now, have only taken discretionary trades based on your gut feeling or by asking other people what stocks to buy, my advice would be to consider systematic trading.
