Investing is Not Only About Mathematical Calculation - NinjaTrader - 12-29-2023
Investing doesn't have to be as tricky as it seems. Contrary to common belief, you don't need to be a mathematical genius. While some basic math skills, like budgeting and understanding balance sheets, come in handy, they're more related to finance than complex mathematics.
To make your investments profitable, you need a system that turns your efforts into gains with minimal effort. Understanding the market is key, and that understanding hinges on your grasp of economics. Knowing when, how much, and where to invest all stems from a solid understanding of economic principles.
The returns on your investment are closely tied to how you compound your profits. If you withdraw your earnings, building a robust portfolio might be challenging. On the other hand, reinvesting your profits allows your asset value to grow over time. So, while some understanding of finance is essential, you don't need to be a math whiz to navigate the world of investments successfully

Investing isn't solely about numbers; it's also about understanding human behavior and market psychology. For example, a company's stock price might fluctuate due to investor sentiment rather than its actual performance. Geopolitical events or social trends can influence market trends unpredictably. Thus, successful investors consider both quantitative data and qualitative factors, such as consumer behavior and industry dynamics, to make informed decisions that go beyond mathematical calculations.

I think the same, you don't need to be a math and science scholar to be able to make profits by making some investments, if you think about it, it's a little more common sense than anything else, right? Also, not everything you earn will be profit, you always have to leave a little to continue investing, I would always recommend taking half as profit and leaving half to continue generating profits, right?
