It most often means losses and missed opportunities when reality gets hidden or obscured in a mental fog. Almost always the resulting decisions produce poor investment outcomes and may mean costly losses. At a minimum, mind traps mean missed investment opportunities.

Investing success does not begin when you put your money in. It begins in your mind, with your learning. First understand how investing works. Know and understand what successful investors do to make money work for them.
With that basic understanding, you remove the most common mental block to investing.
Knowledge and preparation comes before stock market doing
Trust is the second ranking mind trap that blocks investor success. Throughout life, trust is a very big deal. And in finances and investing, trust is essential.
To deal with trust in investing we must know the source of the problem. By knowing and understanding what undermines trust, we can develop our response.
Trusting trust can also trap and trip investors
3 Issues can undermine trust:
- Volatility – stock market ups and downs can alarm investors
- Communication Veil – disconnected, dated, tone-deaf messaging
- Standards – conflict over client safety, the suitability or fiduciary question
Lack of knowledge raises the anxiety of many prospective or new investors. Building an investor mind can build the needed confidence.
As always, knowing makes the difference. In the financial services industry there are many darker truths. Included are policies and strategies that are not in the public interest. But investing well means knowing these issues and having the ability to cope with them.
In general, financial service companies provide useful service to most clients. But there are flaws. Not all are well served. To understand, examine each issue, one at a time.
Dealing with volatility is an essential stock market investor skill
Often, volatility in stock markets produces anxiety in new investors. Not understanding what they see can make them cautious and even distrust what is going on. When anxious, investors can be vulnerable to financial predators or scammers.
Learning provides the answer. Understanding volatility means having some basic investing background knowledge.
Building a basic investing knowledge base
Stock market action includes the volatility reflecting the trades of three diverse groups. Investors, traders and speculators are all active in stock markets. They are different from one another and have different interests, strategies and goals.
Investors, as defined by White Top Investor, want to buy companies or a piece of them as productive assets. They have a long term interest in owning and income from productive investments. Only investment grade stocks interest them.
Investors consider investment stocks as reliable dividend payers they can own forever. That definition is at the heart of White Top Investor lessons. Their number of stock trades are few.
Learning the differences between trading and investing
But traders are different. They are not interested in holding forever or focused on dividends. Rather, traders want market action. In typical trading, they seek stocks rising in price that they can ride for a short time. To profit they sell at those higher prices and move on to find other rising stocks.
They want price movement, up or down (short plays) and they want that movement now! The hold on purchases can be for nanoseconds to months. Few will hold longer than a several months. As a result of all the action, traders generate most of the daily trades on stock markets. They also dominate the market commentary, business reports and stock market media.
The third type of market action, speculators, are very aggressive of optimistic traders. They seek exceptional returns with the expectation of selling at much higher prices. For those huge returns, they often accept large risks as well.
When they win, it can be spectacular. When they lose, it can be a total loss. They expect big gains to cover the losses. They hold from a few days to many months but most often for under a year. They trade more that investors but less often than traders.
