No matter you are a well educated person (maybe you are a book smarter) or an ordinary person (maybe you are a street smarter), there are always some things in common.
You have to have a sense of feeling about the market. You can sense when it is a good time to invest your money, and in which areas you like to invest in.
You may learn all the tricks or all the rules on technical issues. However, those are only the basics and foundations you need to know. The rest will be how to manage your behaviors in market's ups and downs.
I don't think anyone is able to play in the stocks market in China. The reason is not only because of their lack of basic knowledge and experience about the markets, but also the purposes of their investing. However, the reality is nearly everyone is playing.
It is a good idea to follow the market by learning from different sources. I believe that your passion about investing is one of the powers that can take you where you want to be or to go.
In conclusion that IQ is not the only matter for making money in the market.
It will be easier if I write something interesting to me.:)
I know I have a long way ahead to write better.:(
