Earning from stock trading is not that simple. This was very precisely articulated by the brilliant trader and investor Bernard Baruch:

"If you are ready to forget everything in the world and study the history of the market and the major companies whose stocks are currently traded, with the meticulousness of a medical student studying anatomy, and if you also possess the steely nerves of a player, the sixth sense of a clairvoyant, and the courage of a lion, then you have a ghostly hope."

Bernard Baruch (1870-1965) was an American financier, stock speculator, and also a political and public figure. He served as an advisor to U.S. Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt. Bernard Baruch was the first in the world to officially use the term "cold war" (1947).
