Secrets to Making Money in the US Stock Market:

1. Don't touch derivatives, don't trade options, don't trade leveraged ETFs.

2. Don't try to catch a falling knife.

2. Only invest in sector leaders, only chase the major third wave of an uptrend on the right side for these leaders.

3. Hold no more than 5 stocks in total, usually putting all your money into just 1-2 leading stocks.

4. Exit when positive news reaches its peak.

You'll find you simply won't lose money.

Of course, identifying what a leader is and when to enter requires reading tons of research reports and gaining market sense from losing money, until you have an epiphany.
