Occasionally, new investors will have some bad initial stock market experiences and accumulate losses right out of the gate. This can sometimes prevent them from staying in the market. Although stock picking might seem easy to those that have been in the mix for a long time, it may seem extremely difficult for the novice. Staying disciplined and focused can be a big asset to individual investors.
