The biggest secret of investing into stocks is that stock market success is exactly like the bamboo tree.
Didn’t get it? Don’t worry the following illustration will help you all to understand it well.
Like all other plants and trees, the Chinese bamboo tree requires nurturing through water, fertile soil, and also with enough sunshine to ensure that it will grow.If you try to plant a bamboo tree and you make sure you give it enough water, the right soil, and also enough exposure to sunlight, you will NEVER see any visible growth in the first year.
And if you continue to nurture the bamboo tree, after the second year, nothing will grow above the ground. And if you choose to continue on for the third and fourth year, you will see nothing too.Finally, in the fifth year, something amazing will happen. The bamboo tree that you planted will grow to 80 feet tall in just six weeks!
Why is that so? For the first four years, nothing had happened, but in the fifth year, the bamboo tree grows to 80 feet tall in just a short six weeks.Does this mean that within the first four years, nothing has happened to the tree? Nope, not at all, in fact, the bamboo tree is growing, UNDERGROUND, but you can’t see it.
The metaphor of a bamboo tree explains the best of what is happening to most people in world on investing and stock markets.For the first few years, no matter where you invest you may have poured in the necessary time and effort into your goals and projects, but nothing seems to be happening. Stop watching the screen again and again because you are speculating and patience is needed during investing.
And this is exactly like the bamboo tree. In the first few years, nothing seems to grow from the ground even with you fully nurture the tree, giving it enough water, provide it with a suitable soil and make sure it has enough sunshine.
At this point, most people would have given up. This is why 95 % of the people lose here because they don’t put the necessary efforts and don’t have enough patience. They quit when they don’t see desired results,in this case book losses. Later, they realize, they wish they could have held a little more and would have made fortunes.
It’s all about consistency,patience and extreme thrist of knowledge which can bring incredible amounts of success for you. So, keep learning and keep growing.
