In a game where most people fail or, at best, seriously under preform, common knowledge - or the at least the application of that "knowledge" must be, almost by default - wrong.
Unfortunately the common knowledge sounds as if it is uncommon knowledge.Its a trap!
ZeroHedge is a good exampleand their Austrian ideology. When you learn of it you will feel like you stumbled onto the world greatest secrets, but its all nonsense. Another is stuff like the trend is your friends.
1: you should daytrade because you evade overnight gaps and overnight risks. time in the market is risk(common sense disquised)
2. the trend is your friend, thus stay in a position all the way until the end. you will never sell at the top or buy at the bottom also, the sitting makes you more money than the trading (swing trading common sense)
So two common sense are contradictory...
