What could be better than investing in the real economy using professional skills or personal experiences ?

On the stock market, there are many tips and tricks that can be learned with experience over the years … never forget that patience is one of the basic qualities of a successful investor.
Patience above all else
We often hear that the Stock Exchange is “the temple of regrets”: You sell and the value rises, you buy and it then falls … You have the impression of being cursed: Do not lament, it’s money common at the start and very … formative!

A financial crisis, a lost contract, a badly controlled external growth operation can always happen and are even part of the life of companies … It is therefore always necessary to keep this risk in mind when investing in the stock market.
In order to build a balanced portfolio, It is highly recommended have enough time to follow your investments and economic and financial news on a daily basis, so as not to be overtaken by the vagaries of the markets … Do not hesitate, for example, to schedule alerts on your smartphone according to the stock market calendar. The ideal is to reserve a little time each day for reading the economic press, stock market sites in real time, or quite simply by listening to economic news via TV or radio “non-stop”.
