Make 2019 your year to commit 

Never before has trading been so lucrative and so exciting – 2018 has been an incredible year of ups and downs and 2019 promises to be even more interesting, says Daniel Kibel, CEO of top rated online trading company CM Trading. 

“While trading can be complicated and daunting, it can also be exciting,” says Kibel.  “If you compare trading with a relationship (which can also be complicated and daunting), things can become a lot clearer.  I know it sounds strange but with a relationship and with trading there are three key steps, as I see it:

Step 1: Falling in love. In a relationship you meet someone, get to know them, become familiar with them, their flaws as well as the things that you love about them – one of the most important steps in the relationship – you don’t invest yourself if you don’t understand the information you receive.  It is the same with trading, you need to get to know your market, the shares or the commodities that you are looking at trading in.  If you don’t understand it, don’t invest in it.  Having said that, if you learn more about the market you’re interested in and completely immerse yourself in the ups and downs, your relationship with trading will be a successful one. 

Step 2: Getting engaged.  Once you are happy with the information you have learned, it is important to start to commit, in a relationship, the next step would be getting engaged.  In trading it is being committed to a particular commodity, market or share - it is so much easier to trade in something that you know and are committed to. 

Step 3: Getting married!  You never know what goes on inside a marriage until you are in the midst of it.  Take the plunge!  Once you know what you are doing, where you are going and where you can see yourself in 10, 20, 30 years time, then trading is for you.  Make no mistake that - like a marriage -the markets are volatile, but with high risk there comes high potential profit and trading really is a mix of different entities.  Whether it is the economy, the political situation, corruption, fake news….it could be anything, but taking that first step is the most important and I believe the key to a successful relationship, whether it be online trading or finding your wife or husband! 

“I know that the analogy is unusual but if you think about it, it is quite accurate.  I am so excited about the opportunities and trends I foresee for 2019 – market changes, political changes, social changes all play a part in the trading arena,” concludes Kibel.

What effect does Angela Merkel have on an online trade in South Africa?  What does a twitter comment by Donald Trump have to do with an ever changing US and South African market, the Rand vs the Dollar?  What does the VBS bank scandal have to do with trading, how will it affect my trade?  “These are questions often asked by budding traders and while the answer is quite simple, understanding how to get there needs to be explained” says Daniel Kibel, CEO of online trading company CM Trading. 

“The ever changing political and economic situation in any country has an effect on trading, on share and commodity prices and on the strength and weakness of your trade.  A good general knowledge of the world around you would help immeasurably.  Read the news, listen to the news, watch the news. While it might not be as exciting as watching a reality series or a sitcom, I cannot stress the importance of knowing the implications of your immediate economic climate as well as international situations.”

“As a would be trader, with no experience, we do offer the Make Me A Trader programme which guides and directs the inexperienced individual on how the market works and how to hopefully trade successfully and ultimately profitably that would either enable them to better their lives, to buy that car, to pay those school fees, or to enable them to reinvest in a new or existing share or commodity – this programme is offered at no cost to the individual but rather encourages responsible and informed trading with less risk.”

“That is not to say that there is no risk in trading.  People need to use their heads, they need to use their knowledge and have a good sense of the direction they want to go in.  With all that in their arsenal the trader has more chance of long term success in the market. As long as you have the know-how and you are able to ‘read’ the markets, no move should be catastrophic as you would be able to make or change your trade at the appropriate time.”

“In South Africa for example, the government has always tried to encourage savings, but it has been conventional savings, that is, putting your money in a savings account and earning interest.  However, if you look at the rate of inflation, it seems that you are actually taking your money and burning it with a 1 – 3% loss, meaning that the rate is higher than what you are getting back – it hardly seems worth it!”

“Some banks offer an interest rate of 10% on a fixed deposit over 5 years, some 6% for a 3 month fixed deposit, all their terms and rates are different but generally they are better for a fixed deposit – meaning your money is tied up for the amount of time agreed upon with your banker.  With trading on the other hand, you can make your money in a matter of minutes (obviously when properly informed and when understanding the markets around you).  You can do the trade from the comfort of your home or your laptop, ipad or mobile phone from wherever you are – it is quick, easy and through responsible trading with a regulated company, can be lucrative.   

“All that being said, trading is high risk but I really believe in my heart of hearts that more people should trade, there is so much to be made, to be done and it is an exciting business to be in – every day you wait is a day lost – don’t lose anymore!”
