As the old saying goes, people go to higher places and water goes to lower places. Who doesn’t want to make more money to make a better life for themselves and their family? So, in today’s economic tide, we see such a huge stream of people, as intoxicated to the stock market. At present, the number of people speculating in the stock market in the country has nearly 100 million, there is a trend of universal speculation in the stock market. Stockholders in the process of stock speculation can be said to taste all the sweet and sour, stock speculation mentality is the image of a thousand. Some studies have shown that the depression and anxiety among the stockholders are significantly higher than the normal population in both the down and up markets. Stockholders in the process of stock speculation, due to unbearable psychological impact of illness and hospitalization, and even after the stock market crash to take the act of suicide has also been repeatedly reported. As we all know, the stock market itself is speculative, mutability, manifested in the rise and fall of the stock market. From a psychological point of view, the ups and downs of the stock market naturally become a source of psychological stress for stockholders, and once stockholders enter the stock market, they will be put into this field with a strong source of stress, and inevitably have a stress reaction. This stress reaction includes both physical and mental aspects, manifested in the psychological, there will be tension, anxiety, depression; manifested in the physical, there will be high blood pressure, heart disease, peptic ulcers and so on. Therefore, the long-term existence of stress reaction will have extremely unfavorable effects on the individual’s mental and physical health. Of course, the above phenomenon is not absolute, we can not say that as long as the speculation will appear stress reaction, because as mentioned above the number of people who speculate in the stock market has nearly 100 million, and because of speculation in the stock market led to psychological problems, illness and hospitalization of a small number of people. For different individuals, the stress response is different, for some of the psychological quality is better, speculation does not become a source of stress, but also can not talk about the stress response. So, what kind of psychological quality is needed to speculate in stocks, or speculation in stocks need to do those psychological preparation? I think that before intending to speculate in the stock market, the stockholders should be prepared for the following psychological preparation: First of all, their own economic situation to have an overall assessment. Do not speculate in stocks as the only economic source. Speculation is definitely not a way to make a person from poor to soaring to fame and fortune, it is a game played by people who have spare money. With their own living expenses, pension to speculate on the stock market, take out all the family savings to speculate on the stock market, and even take their own house as collateral, borrowing money to speculate on the stock market is not desirable. In the stock market, the practice of breaking the boat will only allow themselves to speculate in the stock market after the loss of passive, no way back, thus staging a failure of speculation after the tragedy of suicide. Therefore, before speculation in the stock market to assess their own economic situation, be sure to make all the needs of life are properly organized, to be clear. In this way, in case of speculation in the stock market failure will not let you in the economic desperate, the psychological impact is not to reach the point of irreparable. Secondly, before speculating in stocks to get the support of the family. Do not hide the family speculation, this is very important. After all, speculation is not a speculation to earn, especially at the beginning of the speculation, the stock knowledge is not enough to fully understand the phenomenon of speculation will inevitably fail, at this time, if the family can give care and support, the individual will be able to pass through the difficult times more easily. On the contrary, if the family does not know that the person is speculating in the stock market, or even family members are very opposed to speculation, then once the speculation failure, the stockholders not only have to bear the psychological pain and economic pressure alone, but also worry about family members know that the condemnation of their own, it is easy to have a strong stress reaction to the physical and mental health is not favorable. Third, to have a full understanding of stocks and stock market related knowledge. Do not blindly speculate on stocks, do not fight unprepared. Although the stock market speculative and mutability, but look at the success of speculation in the stock market, its success is by no means based on the luck of the moment, in a sense, speculation in the stock market is an intellectual game. Only a full understanding of stock-related knowledge, it is possible to have their own independent analysis and judgment in the process of speculation in the stock market, so that each judgment is based on evidence, to reduce the randomness and blindness. The kind of follow the crowd, what others buy what I buy, no independent judgment of their own practice is not desirable. Fourth, the risk of the stock market to have a clear understanding of the stock market, can not be blindly optimistic. The stock market is risk and return coexist, that is, a foot into the stock market, we must be prepared for both. The kind of “everyone can make money, how can I lose money”, “I will not be so unlucky” of the fluke mentality is never to be. With these fluke mentality of the stockholders, the expectations of the stock is too high, once the loss will be a huge psychological gap, resulting in a strong stress reaction, including self-hatred, regret. So before deciding to speculate on stocks to have a reasonable expectation of the speculation, can not hold the belief that must win the speculation. Fifth, to have a calm mind. The success of speculation, absolutely impossible to realize by buying one or two stocks. Some stockholders jokingly said, speculation than the stock market is “who live long in the stock market”, that is to say, the stock market is often win or lose, than who can laugh to the end. So do not get carried away after the success, not disheartened after the failure, often have a normal heart, do not great joy and great sadness, in order to maintain mental health in the ever-changing stock market. So, is not fully prepared psychologically after you can join the ranks of speculation? Of course not. In a sense, speculation is also considered a profession. Both is a profession, it will be the practitioner’s character to pick and choose, I think the following character traits in the line to be careful before entering: First, with a gambler’s mentality. These people often do not make decisions after careful consideration, but has a great deal of randomness; after making a decision, once the loss is easy to blame on luck, and can not learn from the failure; greed, not enough. These people are easily addicted to the process of stock speculation and cannot extricate themselves from it. It is easy to take stock speculation as the center of their lives, which will bring serious impacts on their families and work. There was once a gambler who brought his gambling money to speculate on stocks, and as a result turned the stock market into a casino in another sense. Secondly, those who have had or are suffering from psychological disorders. The reason why this character trait should not speculate in the stock market, because the stock market shock and is difficult to avoid, the need for stockholders to have a high degree of psychological tolerance, and the ability to deal with emergencies. Those who have had psychological disorders and those who are suffering from psychological disorders suggest that the individual’s psychological quality may be poorer, and that the ability to withstand psychological stress is lower than that of normal people. In addition, for those who are suffering from psychological disorders, their ability to withstand adverse events is already very low, at this time to speculate in the stock market, once lost, it will aggravate their psychological disorders, or even suicide and other adverse consequences. Third, too arbitrary or indecisive. In the face of changing K line, stockholders should always make a decision, in order to seize the opportunity to reduce risk. This requires stockholders to be able to make the right decision at any time, so too arbitrary or too indecisive are not suitable. Fourth, too low self-esteem, no initiative. On the other hand, it is required that the stockholders have enough self-confidence, so that they will be in the right time to make a decisive decision, rather than blindly follow the crowd, what others buy what he bought. This is not only the speculation required, but also by other things must have a good mental quality. Fifth, easily nervous and anxious. The stock market’s volatility easily caused by the nervousness and anxiety of the shareholders, some shareholders say: the stock market, play is the heartbeat. Successful stockholders, most of them have a “let the wind and waves rise, sitting in a fishing boat” character. This character can be acquired through the exercise of later life, but most of the innate foundation, some people are born easily nervous and anxious, easy to panic, no opinion, such people will throw themselves into the stock market is very inhumane.
