New traders often confuse the perceived value with the real value of a stock they are trading.

We as daytraders do not really care about a stock's real value. That is left up to the long term investors who are trying to make 30% in the market per year. Daytraders cannot exist on that low of percentages.

REAL VALUE is the stock price to earnings, the expected earnings, the assets and cost controls, the management, etc. -- all of which makes very good sense. But daytraders trade based on "PERCEIVED" value.

1. Institutions
2. Fund managers
3. Online amateurs
4. Daytraders
