About That Intuition/Investment Experiment
It has been a raging success so far.
I have made money and learned a lot of good stuff.
I learned that I am not investing, but trading by definition. I learned that trading in options is better than trading in stocks. I learned different strategies, and the more I learned, the more I was convinced to trust my intuition over the conventional method.
My intuition has been guiding me in the right direction before I even chose the direction I am moving in given my knowledge and financial restraints at the moment. It only strengthens my belief in trusting my intuition.
Intuition is a data-gathering tool, like many others I learned about. It is how you interpret the data that makes the difference in the end result. You have no control over how the market will act or react on any given day.
But, since your intuition is connected to the Universal Mind, it can direct you to make choices that will produce the desired results. The trick is in defining the desired result clearly.
Understanding how the market works helps me to interpret the data I collect from my intuition. As I focused on learning more about the markets I came across people and information via random articles and news stories that led me to stocks I had never heard of that I picked at the right moment before it spiked.
I have been following stocks that made no sense at first but makes perfect sense now. Yet, I have other stocks on my radar that I have thought of removing but they seem to stay there. I know I’ll find out when they’re ready to ripen for picking.
My first stock — Zoom — taught me to trust my intuition, see the potential in the market, and the pitfalls of being greedy. From there I have learned to listen to act in time to benefit from a surge in prices. At the same time, I've seen, rather been shown, how timing can mean everything.
I have learned that there are many ways to profit in the world of trading, some will suit me and others won’t. The hard part for me at the moment is to let it be after taking action. While I am willing to surrender, I am equally tempted to stay in control. I am learning that I get better results when I trust than when I try to stay in control.
But, the most important thing I have learned is that having fun is an indication that I am on the right path. When I stray, it leads to tension that shows up at first as dis-ease, and then as disease in my body. I am learning the magic that comes from mind-body-spirit harmony.
