Who can tell me how many % people will be successful in the stock market?

There is no real answer to this question because different people define success differently.  If you are talking just regular long term investors who are investing in their company's plan that invests in stocks, then many of them would consider themselves successful.  If you are talking about the riskiest day traders, then the majority of them are not.\n\nJeff

1) Over 75% of professional money managers underperform the average of the entire market!!! So, do NOT follow the lead of the "big-boys" because you will lag their underperforming results leading to horrible returns not worth the risk.\n\n2) Due Dilligence---Don't directly invest into anything someone else recommends unless you did your own research and believe in the company as well (unless that person is Warren Buffet :) )\n\n3) To actually answer your question unlike the previous 2.... my personal picks are as follows (still do your own research to confirm my thoughts)\n\nAKAM (49.25) A great technology company. Current quarter growth is estimated at over 60%, while the industry is -4%. Even though this year is outpacing the market growth by about 50%, it is expected to again outpace market growth by about 30% next year. Fiscal year 06 earnings are expected to gain 67% over 2005's numbers, while Fiscal year  07 is expected to gain 38% over 2006. My personal target for the short-term is $60 (3 month time frame). As for long-term prospects, I expect the stock to hit at least 70 in one year's time.\n\nIf you want something more risky and having more reward potential, go with FRPT (11.83). The stock is under tremendou accumulation and could very well reach $15 by Christmas.

Consider that if such a program were to exist using artificial human intelligence or neural networks, and it was successful , then whoever owned the first one would already be the King of the Stock Market.  You're right about program trading which is very short term.  However the stock market is not a pure science and cannot be predicted longer term, with any certainty, using algorithms.  It is actually part statistical science, partly an art, and partly understanding the psychology of the masses.

The market will always have a place for good people. Live by the theory of creating your own economy and don't get caught up in what the media says the trend for the currect "market" is. With brains and perserverance you can make yourself succeed.

Stock markets are everywhere.  If you know which stock to pick, you will make money in any market.  Do your research and invest properly and you will make money.

Truly the correct answer to that question is whatever the market will bear. ;)

a gaurantee? the stock market has been built on the risk of people spending their money and hitting it big... then there are the stories of people jumping from the 122nd floor after they lost it all of course.\nso you have to factor that in.\nnothing good is free. or everyone would be doing it.\nnothing good/great in life comes without a risk.\neducate your self if you plan to do this. investigate the company, market, and the stocks. it takes time  to know what is the right direction... and even then you may be wrong... but being prepared to make an educated decision is your safest bet. and thats what the stock market is....a bet\ngood luck tho!

One pretty good source in the United States is the Occupational Outlook handbook written by the government. It lists jobs, duties, salaries, education required, and projected job openings. Second, if you have money, the rule of thumb is 30-30-30: cash (30%), mutual funds/stocks (30%), and real estate (30%). Study the list of rich and famous people who didn't attend or graduate from college. I suspect the answer lies in passion, concentration, dedication, marketing, and working smart, not hard. Third, people are paying big money for any type of information, and also thru the internet. Last, find a need and fill it. Look at how many chicken or hamburger places there are.

There is no get rich quick scheme, there is no pot at the end of the rainbow. \n\nIf you're talking about investing or trading, like any vocation, it takes hard work, lots of study, and the testing of your theories, learning what makes you tick, learning your own particular time and stress levels, and fighting the emotions of fear, greed, and loss of hope.\n\nMost traders spend their entire time looking for the Holy Grail of indicators, and that's why 85% of all traders fail.\n\nYour success or failure lies within you, not some indicator.\n\nPart of being a winning trader is constantly developing new methods, constantly improving, constantly learning and becoming more humble and forgiving, and constantly fighting our fear and greed. I had a killer indicator that worked very well for seven years, then it just stopped working. A winning trader is open minded and constantly aware of these changes, rather than closed-minded saying "nothing works." \n\nPeople looking for the magic formula will find that TA is too much work. The secret lies within each of us, while a lot of indicators will improve your odds. We each have to find what works for us. If we were all Technical Analysts, it would be a very difficult business indeed.\n\nOne of the most important Samurai texts ever written, by Miyamoto Musashi, “The Book of the Five Rings (1643)”, offers this advice: “Think of what is right and true. Learn to see everything accurately. Become aware of what is not obvious. Be careful even in small matters. Do not do anything useless.”\n\nThere can be no great success in trading (life) without great commitment, hard work, discipline, and the realization of the “right” type of thinking.\n\nIt is the trader’s attitudes, beliefs, and discipline that ultimately yield results. Courage and positive attitudes combined with sound market principles and methods will, in time, result in the desired outcome. Your persistence and determination to succeed is, in the final analysis, the critical element.\n\nIt is not the passion for money that makes people rich, but rather the passion for mastery.

Probably between 6-8 percent, just like the general population. I don't know where you got the 1% from, but it's wrong.
