NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- How many investors do you personally know? Chances are, half of the people you talk to do not have a clue what the stock market is or think of it as some super risky venture. The majority of the rest of the people have tried to invest or know someone who has, and lost some money. They give up and quit trying to make money from that route.
It is a shame, because the stock market has a proven history of being a very reliable way to build the wealth many people desire, to reach their specific goals. Losing money happens in the stock market and there is no need to quit because of it. Just like anything in life, you have to practice and learn from your mistakes to become a better investor. Not everyone is a winner; otherwise, there is not much of a reward if everyone can automatically become a winner.
