A good stock market investor likes a market crash more than a market boom. At this point in time, many stocks in the stock market are trading at a very high price. You have to go through all the stocks to find one or two that are still undervalued. The stock markets worldwide have not reached the kind of frenzy buying to bring about a stock market crash yet. A good stock market investor knows about shorting the market to make a lot of money. What does that mean? If you buy a stock at 20 cents, and 5 years later, it reaches a dollar, and you sell it off, you make a good profit. Your profit is 80 cents. However, that takes five years. If you short the stock at a dollar when the market is crazy, and the stock goes down to 20 cents in a stock market crash, you can make a profit of 80 cents. This takes a few months. It takes five or six long years for the share price to go up, and just a couple of months to fall down to original level. That is why a good stock market investor prefers a market crash. He can short the market and earns the same amount of money in just a few months.

This is best applicable for Regular traders, who use the principle averaging to minimize losses by buying at low levels or when market is in correction.

Traders are not investors. Only investors will buy at market crash. Traders will short the market as the market crashes.

Accounting course is not enough to teach you about the different ways of investing in the stock market. Accounting course is to teach you to find out the good companies, and you still have to look at the chart to find out the best entry and exit price.
