Two of the worst sins of beginner investors is not margin calls and being taken out by stop loss orders when market makers having the information and dipped the offers down. It was not a pretty sight to have so many down days just to take out all the stop loss orders.

It is really the greed to try to borrow money to buy risky stocks. The greed to buy when the price is having a nice move. And the fear to dump stock when it pulled back. Or stay with the stock until it is 90% down from the high due to "overbought".

Professionals buy and sell with the market makers and the big investors. Go with the flow(avoid greed and fear) and stay in liquid market(when people are averaging up).
