SHARE TRADERS AND CRYPTO INVESTORS ARE BOOSTING THEIR MONTHLY INCOME FROM TRADING
Posted:Regular investors in shares and crypto are earning extra income from their trading, research from GraniteShares shows.
Our study found that more than half (53%) say trading makes up part of their income although for most it’s a small part of their monthly earnings. Just one in 12 (8%) say trading shares or crypto contributes 25% or more of their monthly income.
The research paints an interesting picture of how traders and investors behave - it found 37% of stock market and crypto investors say they mainly buy and hold while 10% preferred not to answer or did not know how much trading adds to their income.
The nationwide study found around 14% of regular stock market and crypto investors started trading in the past two years but the boom in trading happened during the pandemic. Around 13% of those who currently trade regularly say they started in 2020 and early 2021.
Nearly two out of five (36%) questioned said they had been regularly trading for 10 or more years.
It is more evidence of how both share and crypto traders are becoming increasingly sophisticated and that is reflected in the numbers of people claiming to be able to increase their monthly income as a result of their trading.
Relying on trading to increase your income can however be risky and people should look to adopt a more holistic approach to wealth creation.
