A person said in another answer this:
"Many investors achieve this, (including me). Very few "traders" come anywhere close to that, and though a few make good money, the majority loose their money and slink away very quietly!"

The majority lose their money and sink away. So what do the majority do that make them fail on the stock market? Any links to websites or articles/advice of what not to do wrong when investing in stocks?

^^^ Foreign News

So research what you read before you believe it. I just found it interesting that they said that a foreign newspaper printed this and Americans never heard of it, but if you look at the date it is from July of 2008* not current news of 2009*, but it was actually posted on an an AMERICAN news business. So don’t believe the bull crap, this is coming from a conservative American, and I don’t appreciate YELLOW JOURNALISM.
