Why We Are Traders And Not Investors

Posted on the 06 January 2012 by Phil's Stock World @philstockworld

 One look at the chart of VHC below tells you why we are traders and not investors: 

 Why We Are Traders And Not Investors     Each of the pink Pullback Off Highs lines were buying opportunities:   Trade 1: Bought 300 shares at $21.64, sold at $24.23 — total profit of $777 or 12% Trade 2: Bought 300 shares at $21.70, sold at $25.69 — total profit of $1,197 or 18.4% Trade 3: Bought 300 shares at $24.50, holding at $26.50 — total profit so far of $600   Total gains: $2,574!  

If we were investors though — we would have bought 300 shares at $21.64 and at $26.50, would have a gain of just $1,458.  We’ll continue to be traders and enjoy the extra $1,100!
