Because the stock market is so big, people who have never invested before often feel like they don't know where to start. Most people find the stock market to be a confusing web of options that don't give them a clear road map to guide them on their investment journey.
The best way to make money on the stock market is to learn as much as you can about it so you always know what's going on. This makes it easier for people to make smart choices about their money and reduces the stress that comes with investing.
When the average person starts to think about putting money into the stock market, they fall into one of two groups. The first is the gambler who thinks that investing is a form of gambling and is sure that no matter what they do, they will lose money instead of making it. It looks like this opinion about investing in stocks comes from either personal experience or from friends and family who have lost money on the stock market.
If someone has lost money on the stock market, it is clear that they did not know enough about it when they put their money there. So, if they want to be successful investors, they need to learn about what the stock market is and how it works.
The "go-getter" investor, on the other hand, knows they should invest in the stock market to secure their financial future, but they have no idea where to start. Most "get-it-done" people let professionals make their financial decisions, so they can't explain why they own a certain stock.
A typical "getter" has blind faith, so when the price of a stock goes up, they are likely to buy it. The "get-it-done" person is in a worse position than the gambler because they will invest like everyone else and then wonder why they get bad or disappointing results. This just goes to show that the average person should learn a lot about the stock market and stocks before putting money into them.
