Proven
Stock Market Strategies
It
can take 3 to 6 months for the markets to recover after a major
crash. According to Buffet it is best to hold these investments for
years to avoid capital gain taxes. It sounds simple enough, but most
people are not programmed to buy stock low and sell high. The reason
is emotional investing theory most of the population is hardwired to
sell low, and buy high this is due to human evaluation and our
ability to survive. The same goes for fund managers; they often have
to follow the majority of other investors, and often feel the need to
always being in the market. Be careful there are many salespeople
going by the tiles of the adviser, insurances agents are mostly and
not always what I like to call mutual fund salespeople. I would
recommend you to become your own expert and follow the advice of
other experts that state that even an average investor can outpace
the S and P 500
A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason. ~ J. P. Morgan
The
Strategies from the Genus’ of Investing: Investing style is a mater
of finding your personality type and risk tolerance
Warren
Buffet's strategies on investing are to find companies that you
trust, believe in and understand the business model. If not ,walk
away now! One must learn to be patient, to wait for these stock
prices to fall to value prices, and then hold on the stock for the
long term at least 10 years, if not 20 years or even 30 years. Buffet
shares the view the best way to avoid capital gains taxes is to hold
them on the stocks for an extremely long time if not indefinite.
I am a financial coach, marketing consultant, and blogger; I am trying
to answer the question why does the rich seem to have more money? I am a
former student that went to one of the best University in the world,
had some of the best-educated professors attending the best university
in the world! But, I was stuck in an entry-level job, struggling to pay
my bills, going through a divorce, lost my job, even been sued!
I was in a horrible state of mind, and bad news came after bad news.
What should someone do? I say, come back fighting and swing!
Was the universe out to get me? Or was the universe trying to help
me in reach of my full potential? The universe has a master plan for me,
and the only way for me to improve myself and my life was to give me
one h-ll of a jolt in the backside! In fact, I need this jolt to get me
moving and thinking on the second stage of my life. The new me or the
version of myself that universe intended was going to use my current
knowledge and gain new knowledge to help others.
I was sick: always tired, no energy, little motivation, it was hard
to focus; I was on a mission to find the cure. I started to find books
on at my local library, one titled Natural Cures, and I tried to
detoxify my body. It did not work for me. Next, I started to read books
on financial planning, including money management, debt management, and
investing. I came across a book by Robert Kiyosaki,
from his book
Rich Dad Poor Dad. He introduced me to two other books the Richest man
in Babylon and Think and Grow Rich, to me this cornerstone for my
change.
After reading the Richest Man in Babylon, it caused me to have
internal conflicts, from a line in the book “Are you a free man or
slave!” I stated I am a free man! I had to let go of the fear of letting
my credit rating take a hit. The powers to make you think you’re only
good as your credit report? I think this is not a true milestone of a
person, but how one manages their hardship that life brings their way. I
was in conflict if I shouldn’t pay some of my bills to rather invest
the funds in the stock market after the American bank stock market
crash? This is a personal decision, but, I felt that the universe would
punish me if I had the money to pay my bills but the choice to not pay
them. I felt these both immoral and not reasonable. Now, if one didn't
have the money to pay their bills due to no fault of their own, the
credit bureau will hit me. But, not the universe. I feel the universe;
holds the ultimate authority in my life and not the government or credit
bureaus.
Can you image, I was losing sleep, stressing over, getting anxiety
issue from an artificially created numbering system? Oh boy, wasn’t I a
big fool! I now can look back and laugh at my behavior! Who need chains,
if society can be in slave you with a number! I am not saying you
shouldn’t pay your bills, or not to work hard to pay your bills. But,
only say stop stressing over the little things.
The second book Think and Grow Rich by the late Napoleon Hill, this
book introduced the idea nothing is impossible if you put your mind to
it. If you have the passion, burning desire and commitment. Nothing is
impossible if you believe it can be done! The trick is, if you can’t see
yourself in life or career being able to do what you desiring, you will
fail, even before you get started. Napoleon Hill believed that your
mind has great power, and through the right reprogramming, you can do
anything. Now, the trick is to think positive about yourself and others.
Do not say negative thought like, I am stupid, dumb or anything like
that. You need to say positive things about yourself, I am a great
person, I am a smart person, I am perfect, and I can do anything I set
my mind to do!
Some of the techniques that Napoleon Hill has employed was to have a
positive affirmation “I am making $200,000 per year in a job that I
love by specific date”, or “I have found my perfect mate give a detailed
description of this person attributions by a date” The opportunities
will come to you if you say this out loud once in the morning and again
before you go to bed. When in bed, think of you having a relationship
with his perfect person, or working the perfect job.
It may take some time, but over time you will be reprogramming your
subconscious to believe this is so, and your subconscious will make it
so. This where Napoleon Hill and others call the Law of Attraction
splits, Mr. Hill believed you have to take action at this point.
Napoleon Hill, stated you have to improve yourself at this point to be
successful. Work out, eat better, attend webinars, classes, workshops,
seminars, read books, listen to audiobooks, and maybe get your degree.
In fact, anything you can do to aid yourself to meet your goals will
help the final outcome.
Another of Napoleon Hill recommendations was to form a mastermind
group, of 2-11 people that have a common goal. The power of the mind
multiplied with others will even be a more powerful force. One can ride
the synergy of others at this point to become an unstoppable force.
Working out is one of the untold secret of the rich, studies showing
that 55% of the rich working out at least 2 times a week, and 50% of
people that living financially comfortable in our society do as well.
Did you know it can even improve your mood, and lower your stress and
lower anxiety? And let just forget about all the other health benefits.
I have found that eating healthier is not only less expensive on your budget,
but can improve your life and overall well-being. I cut, my budget by
cooking most of my meals with brown rice, whole wheat pasta, fresh
fruits and vegetables and lower the amount of meat and cheeses. I stop
buying processed food and replaced them with unprocessed whole foods. I
still use white sugar just cutting down.
The net results are improved attitude, more energy, less stress, and
anxiety, things are now coming to me without me placing much energy or
time! I radiate a more positive me! And people can’t tell that things
are not perfect in my life, simply because I don’t act that way. I know
my life has changed and this is just the beginning for my new life. I
am in transformation mode just like a caterpillar can change into a
butterfly, I must change as well.
I have been listening to Attraction Factor by Dr. Joe Vital he
stated that meditation can not only improve your wealth but the wealth
of your community, as well lower crime rate. I am surprised about this
fact How mind-blowing is this fact and this was proven in 19 studies. I
have read this fact in countless books, the power of giving to others
either a charity or a faith-based organization. By giving to your
spiritual origination or charity, you will become more successful in
your life.
A simple self-healing technique as stated in a number Dr. Joe Vital
books, just saying “I love you, I am sorry, Thank you, and Please
forgive me over and over again in your mind will heal you. This
mediation of Ho'oponopono was developed by a medical doctor that was able to use it to heal the criminally insane. The bases of the Ho'oponopono is
that you are able to heal yourself, and intern you are able to heal the
universe. This is a strange way to think about for western culture,
that you are responsible for everything not just for yourself.
I know this sounds strange and worried. I was not born in this word
believing all this, I have been rejecting these ideas for most of my
life and it took a huge change in my life to be open to such thoughts. I
was ready to try almost anything and keep an open mind.
I would also recommend books by Brian Tracy, and Rhonda Byrne
(Author of The Secret) in addition to Dr. Joe Vital. And Think and Grow
Rich by Napoleon Hill is the foundation of much these later books. I
seem to get the message better hearing from different teachers and the
same things are said in different ways.

You
want to be persuasive. The power to influence people to get what you
want is sometimes all it takes to be successful. These are some tactics,
discovered through psychological research, that you have probably not
yet heard about, but have the potential to increase your persuasive
abilities.
I’m not going to cover reciprocity, scarcity or social proof and all
those widely known persuasion principles. You already know all about
those (in case you don’t, stop everything and read this book by Cialdini).
1. Be confident, talk fast
The best way to persuade audiences that are not inclined to agree with you, is to talk fast. Fast
pace is distracting and people find it difficult to pick out the
argument’s flaws. When talking to an audience who is likely to agree
(preaching to the choir), slow down and give the audience time to agree
some more.
Want to boost persuasive power? Talk with confidence.
Don Moore from Carnegie Mellon’s Center for Behavioral Decision Research has published research showing that confidence even trumps past accuracy in earning the trust of others.
We prefer advice from a confident source, even to the point that we
are willing to forgive a poor track record. Moore argues that in
competitive situations, this can drive those offering advice to
increasingly exaggerate how sure they are.
People naturally associate confidence with expertise. Know your
product, know the facts about its benefits and believe in what it does –
true confidence becomes from knowing and believing what you’re saying.
It’s essential that we communicate our confidence to others in order to
persuade them.
2. Swearing can help influence an audience
Light swearing, that is. (Go overboard and lose all credibility.) Researchers divided
88 participants into three groups to watch one of three slightly
different speeches. The only difference between the speeches was that
one contained a mild curse word at the start:
“…lowering of tuition is not only a great idea, but damn it, also the most reasonable one for all parties involved.”
The second speech contained the ‘damn it’ at the end and the third
had neither. When participants’ attitudes were measured, they were most
influenced by the speeches with the mild obscenity included, either at
the beginning or the end.
The word ‘damn’ increased the audience’s perception of the speaker’s
intensity, which increased persuasion. The audience’s perceived
credibility of the speaker did not change.
So that’s the secret of Gary Vaynerchuk and Dave McClure. I thought they’re just cool guys, but turns out its the swearing that got me. Image credit
3. Get people to agree with you first
If you want people to buy into your message, start with something they can agree with.
In a research study
by Jing Xu and Robert Wyerestablished, there were lingering effects of
messages people agree with. In one of the tests, participants listen to a
speech by John McCain or one by Barack Obama and then watch a TV ad for
Toyota.
Republicans tended to be more swayed by the ad after watching the
speech by John McCain, while Democrats showed the opposite effect,
finding the ad more persuasive after the Obama speech.
So when you try to sell something, make statements or represent a
world view your customers can agree with first – even if they have
nothing to do with what you’re selling.
4. Balanced arguments are more persuasive
If what you are doing inspires (or can inspire) criticism, resist the
instinct to paper over weaknesses. We fear undermining our point of
view by talking about weaknesses, but actually it would help our case. Psyblog writes:
Over the years psychologists have compared one-sided and
two-sided arguments to see which are the most persuasive in different
contexts. Daniel O’Keefe at the University of Illinois collected
together the results of 107 different studies on sidedness and
persuasion conducted over 50 years which, between them, recruited 20,111
participants (O’Keefe, 1999, Communication Yearbook, 22, pp. 209-249).
The results of this meta-analysis provide persuasive reading. What he
found across different types of persuasive messages and with varied
audiences, was that two-sided arguments are more persuasive than their
one-sided equivalents.
People are not idiots and they can think. If you don’t mention the
other side of the coin in your arguments, people are less likely to
believe you.
Perhaps it might be a good idea to mention the shortcomings of your product or service on your website.
5. People believe you more if they sit in the evidence
A research study
by Ye Li, Eric Johnson, and Lisa Zaval looked into the belief into
global warming and its relation to the current local weather.
Participants in the US and Australia rated the strength of their
belief in global warming. They also rated whether they thought the
temperature that day was warmer, colder, or about normal for that time
of year. When people felt the day was warmer than usual, they also
expressed a higher belief in global warming than when they felt the day
was cooler than usual. Image credit
In the related study they asked the same stuff, but also asked for a
donation to a non-profit combating climate change. The participants in
this study donated over four times as much money when the day was much
warmer than usual than when the day was much cooler than usual.
If you want people to buy your message, ask for the sale in the
situation that supports your claims. Online, use imagery or other visual
material to build the stage for your story.
6. Upsell a product that cost 60% less
Once somebody gets to a point that they’ll buy something from you,
they have given you their trust and have convinced themselves it’s okay
to give you money. In that moment you are able to sell them more.
When somebody buys a shirt, you upsell should be a tie and not the whole suit.
The time-tested 60×60 rule says that your customers will buy an
upsell 60 percent of the time for up to 60% of the original purchase
price. Any upsell you offer must be congruent with the
original purchase.
If you don’t use up-selling in your business yet, it’s a quick way to boost profits (“would you like fries with that?”).
7. Frame it in the positive
Emphasising the positive can be more persuasive than pointing out the negative. An analysis
added up the results of 29 different studies, which had been carried
out on 6,378 people in total. The finding was that there was a slight
persuasive advantage for messages that were framed positively.
This study had to do with the way people relate to disease
prevention, such as encouraging people to use sunscreen, and promoting
healthy eating habits, but it might have a wider appeal. The
researchers hypothesized the reason to be that we don’t like to be
bullied into changing our behaviour.
Try framing your marketing message in the positive (“Gain additional
hour every day” vs “Stop wasting time”) and see if it makes a
difference.
8. The paradox of choice
The more choice you offer, the less people will take you up on it – says this study.
Researchers set up a jam-tasting stall in a posh supermarket in
California. Sometimes they offered six varieties of jam, at other times
24. Jam tasters were then offered a voucher to buy jam at a discount.
While more choice attracted more customers to look, very few of them
actually bought jam. The display that offered less choice made many more
sales — in fact, only 3 per cent of jam tasters at the 24-flavour stand
used their discount voucher, versus 30 per cent at the six-flavour
stand.
If you have a ton of products, invest in building better filters that help people make the choice. Read the excellent book or watch the great TED talk on the topic. Image credit
9. If something happens often enough, you will eventually be persuaded
Repetition of things has a distinct effect on us. Advertisements
repeated replay themselves when we see the product. The songs that
radios play over and over again eventually grow on us.
Repetition of a word or visual pattern not only causes it to be
remembered (which is persuasive in itself), it also leads people to
accept what is being repeated as being true. ChangingMinds writes this about Hugh Rank’s persuasion research (Teaching about public persuasion, 1976):
Our brains are excellent
pattern-matchers and reward us for using this very helpful skill.
Repetition creates a pattern, which consequently and naturally grabs our
attention.
Repetition creates familiarity, but
does familiarity breed contempt? Although it can happen, the reality is
that familiarity leads to liking in far more case than it does to
contempt. When we are in a supermarket, we are far more likely to buy
familiar brands, even if we have never tried the product before.
Think about the last time you bought a
pair of shoes. Did you pick them then put them down several times
before trying them on. Did you come back to try them again? If so, you
are in good company. Many people have to repeat things several times
before they get convinced. Three times is a common number.
Image credit
Use repetition of key benefits or value proposition in your sales
copy and ad campaigns many times. Effective advertising and political
campaigns do that (“Geico can save you 15% or more …”). Use friendly
repetition to create familiarity and hence liking. Another research reveals
even if only one member of a group repeats their opinion, it is more
likely to be seen by others as representative of the whole group.
10. Men are more responsive to email than face-to-face talk
Guadagno & Cialdini
research (2002) showed that men seem more responsive to email because
it bypasses their competitive tendencies. Women, however, may respond
better in face-to-face encounters because they are more
‘relationship-minded’
This research is suggesting that email could provide a way of
side-stepping men’s competitive tendencies. But, this only applies to
distant relationships. The closer the relationship between men, the
better face to face works.
When you want to persuade a man you don’t know too well, start with an email.
11. Limiting the quantity you can buy makes you buy more
A while back, I teamed up with two professor friends of
mine—Steve Hoch and Bob Kent—to see if anchoring influences how much
food we buy in grocery stores. We believed that grocery shoppers who saw
numerical signs such as “Limit 12 Per Person” would buy much more than
those who saw signs such as “No Limit Per Person.”
To nail down the psychology behind this, we repeated this study in
different forms, using different numbers, different promotions (like “2
for $2” versus “1 for $1”), and in different supermarkets and
convenience stores. By the time we finished, we knew that almost any
sign with a number promotion leads us to buy 30 to 100 percent more than
we normally would.
So put numbered limitations or anchors on the quantity your customer can buy from you.
12. Story beats data
A Carnegie Mellon University study in 2007 by Deborah Small, GeorgeLowenstein and Paul Slovic compared the effects of story vs data.
Test subjects where asked to collect donations for a dire situation
in Africa. The data pitch contained statistics about food shortages in
Malawi, lack of rain in Zambia, and the dislocation of millions in
Angola. The
second version talked about a particular girl in Zambia, Rokia, who was
starving. People were shown her photo and asked to donate to help her
directly.
On average, students who received the fact-based appeal from Save the
Children donated $1.14. Students who read the story about Rokia donated
an average of $2.38, more than twice as much.
In a third experiment, students were told Rokia’s story but also
included statistics about persistent drought, shortfalls in crop
production, and millions of Africans who were going hungry. While
students who had read Rokia’s story alone donated an average of $2.38,
those who read the story plus the data donated an average of $1.43.
The plight of Africa, the fight with poverty is too overwhelming and
people feel their contribution is just a drop in a bucket, hence feel
less inclined to help.
“If I look at the mass I will never act,” said Mother Teresa. “If I look at the one, I will.”
13. Marketing to men? Use photos of women
A field experiment in the consumer credit market found that pictures of women as as effective as low interest rate.
A South African lender sent letters offering incumbent clients large,
short-term loans at randomly chosen interest rates. The letters also
contained independently randomized psychological “features”. As
expected, the interest rate significantly affected loan take-up.
Inconsistent with standard economics, some of the psychological features
also significantly affected take-up.
For the male customers, replacing the photo of a male
with a photo of female on the offer letter statistically significantly
increases takeup; the effect is about as much as dropping the interest
rate 4.5 percentage points… For female customers, we find no
statistically significant patterns.
Overall, these results suggest a very powerful effect on male
customers of seeing a female photo on the offer letter. Standard errors
however do not allow us to isolate one specific mechanism for this
effect. The effect on male customers may be due to either the positive
impact of a female photo or the negative impact of a male photo.
The experiment featured a rather dramatic range in interest rates –
3.25% to 11.75%. The effect of a photo of a woman on a loan offer was
equivalent 4.5% difference in the loan interest rate.
Next time add a photo of a woman to your offer and see your conversions go up.
The above study did not feature sexy women. But would a sexy women wearing bikinis help? Image credit Research shows that arousal makes men stupid,
as they become bad at making decisions. It gives them tunnel
vision. The effect seems to be a short-term -one that would be most
effective at the point of purchase, for impulse purchases.
The ideal selling situation would be to have the bikini-clad babe
selling to the men in person. I guess you could do that also online for
products meant only for men.
Studies have shown that sexy ads don’t really make men remember the product. We’re so lasered in on the sexy stuff, we don’t care what brand of product it is.
14. Want to convince leaders? Make them feel less powerful
Don’t bother trying to persuade your boss of a new idea while he’s feeling the power of his position, research suggests he’s not listening to you. “Powerful people have confidence in what they are thinking.
Whether their thoughts are positive or negative toward an idea, that
position is going to be hard to change,” said Richard Petty, co-author of the study and professor of psychology at Ohio State University.
The best way to get leaders to consider new ideas is to put them in a
situation where they don’t feel as powerful, the research suggests.
“Our research shows that power makes people more confident in their
beliefs, but power is only one thing that affects confidence,” Petty
said. “Try to bring up something that the boss doesn’t know, something
that makes him less certain and that tempers his confidence.”
“You want to sow all your arguments when the boss is not thinking of
his power, and after you make a good case, then remind your boss of his
power. Then he will be more confident in his own evaluation of what you
say. As long as you make good arguments, he will be more likely to be
persuaded,” Petty said.
So in a nutshell:
make the leaders feel less powerful and confident by talking about
stuff they don’t know and if possible, talk outside of his office
(neutral territory),
after the pitch, remind them who’s the boss, so they could take action on your request.
15. The Sullivan Nod
Invented by restaurant consultant, Jim Sullivan,
the Sullivan nod involves reciting a list of options but just inclining
your head slightly when you reach the choice you’d like the buyer to
make. The nod has to be subtle, but perceptible and works best in lists
of no more than five items. According to Jim Sullivan, it’s successful
up to 60 percent of the time.
Whenever servers suggest a beverage, have them smile and
slowly nod their heads up and own as they make the suggestion. Body
language is powerful, and research shows that over 60% of the time, the
guest will nod right back and take your suggestion!
I bet you could use that online in sales videos. When talking about
plans or packages, do the nod on the one you want them to buy.
16. Clarity trumps persuasion
Dr. Flint McGlaughlin of Marketing Experiments likes to say this: “Clarity trumps persuasion”. Remember this.
Persuasion tricks work when done subtly and skillfully. Overdo it and
you lose the sale. When you’re writing sales copy or doing
presentations, the best way to persuade people is to use clarity. Give
people enough information to make up their mind without being cheesy or
using hype.
17. 87% of people believe everything if there’s a percentage in it
