Psychology of how to invest: The best lesson for private investors (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781976558481)

Vincent van Roon (1982) started investing with his twelfth. Through his uncle Jan he got the basic principles explained and soon investing became a major part of his life. Since then he has been following the financial markets. Vincent likes long term investing, because that ultimately ranks the most. In order to keep the tension in mind, he invests more adventurous with 20% of his portfolio. In the early years, Vincent invested primarily in investment funds. Then he switched to individual stocks, options, turbo`s and futures. It soon turned out that investing was not so easy at all. Although Vincent had gained a lot of knowledge about financial markets due to his great interest, he did not succeed in making a profit. He found out that the factor 'psychology' had a negative impact on his investment profit. Vincent is then going to investigate what the emotional influence of investors is on investment results. When it turned out that investor's emotional behavior mainly determines the investment result, Vincent has completely reversed his investment strategy. After years of loss, this has resulted in profitable investment. Through this book, Vincent wants to give investors knowledge about how to invest better and what not to do. Vincent writes this book for beginner investors and investors, who have been active on the stock market for a long time. He has written this book completely independent and describes, in its own way, the effects of investor motions on investment results. There are many books written about the technical theory of investing, but not about the emotional side of investing. That's why Vincent decided to write this book based on his own experiences.
