Humans used to take care only of themselves and their loved ones. Now, people have realized that one’s protection and pampering can go beyond the usual sphere and can even extend to other non-human entities such as animals or pets. The human empathy has reached to the limit that individuals now think that whatever makes a person comfortable will most likely make animals comfortable too.

Such kind of empathy can be seen in cases where dog owners tend to their pregnant pet dogs and provide their immediate needs. On top of these needs is to make sure that your pregnant dogs are as comfortable as possible. The requirements for your pregnant dog’s comfort can be as simple as keeping it healthy and providing a well-made dog bed. Although, there are currently numerous varieties of dog beds available in the market, choosing one is not that hard to do as long as you know what your dog really needs.

The following are some helpful tips to keep in mind when taking care of your pregnant dogs and making them comfortable:

1. Note that pregnant dogs are susceptible to vaginal discharges that oftentimes make them feel irritable and less comfortable. So always keep your dog in a cushy place such as a well-made dog bed where comfort and relaxation can be best achieved. The dog, due to its condition, will most likely stay at one place during its pregnancy period. As such, it is better if your chosen dog bed product provides the exact comfort that your dog needs.

2. Ensure your pregnant dog’s health by providing nutritional food and supplemental vitamins that are accordant to the veterinarian’s designated food and vitamin intake. However, be careful because there are certain food and vitamins that are dangerous for pregnant dogs. You can also provide your dog with deworming, heartworm preventive, and flea control through the wide selection of parasite control products available today.

3. Prevent your pregnant dog from catching diseases by separating it from other dogs and keeping it in a protected and guarded area. This will provide not only protection and sanctuary for your pregnant dogs, but comfort as well. Also keep the place clean to reduce further possibilities of catching any disease.

4. Keep your dog in good shape by giving regular exercises such as long walks in the park or a game of catch. These regular exercises should keep your dog fit and be prepared for its coming labor, thereby avoiding instances where difficulties are often met by obese pregnant dogs.

5. Choose a place in your home where there are less household activities and house routes are seldom taken. This is to make sure that your dog will not be disturbed from its rest. Also, when it comes to your dog’s sleeping regime, make your pregnant dog extra comfortable by providing a dog bed that best suits its condition and needs.

Greed and fear are the two dominant emotions that affect the stock market. Although there are many other factors that influence the change in stock price, these two emotions are the underlying cause for the unpredictable fluctuation of stock price. As emotional creatures, humans make trade decisions all the time based on their feelings about the given market conditions. However, trading decisions influenced by emotions of greed and fear and stock trading success are two things that generally dont go hand in hand.

So how do these emotions really influence the individual traders decisions? More importantly, how can a trader avoid emotional trading?

Holding a stock in fear as it drops in price is a classic way traders lose money.

Say the typical trader buys a stock and it slowly goes down for a few days after the purchase. The trader is a bit worried but he still keeps his composer because he is certain that the stock will come back up. He holds for a few more days and the stock continues to inch downward. At this point the trader has lost a large percent of his original position.

Now the panic starts to kick in

The trader begins to panic but he doesnt sell off because this is too much of a loss to bear. He can’t afford to lose such a large chunk of his portfolio especially since he thinks the stock will come back up any day. The trader is praying that it will bounce back up just enough so he can at least break even. Yet as he clings to his position in fear, stock continues to fall. Finally he sells the stock partially out of fear that it will drop even lower and also because he cant bear the pain of holding the failing positions anymore.

This is a prime example of how the fear affects traders. Holding onto a stock because you have a hunch that the price will bounce back up is a dangerous way to interact with the stock market. Because of the markets unpredictable nature, you can never be completely certain of what might happen next.

So how would the greed influence this same unfortunate trader?

Keep in mind that after the trader lost such a large sum of money, he wants to earn it back as quickly as possible. Eager to find opportunities to make the most money back to cover his loss, he searches for riskier stocks. After running some scans he spots a penny stock that is moving ten, twenty, even 30 percent every day. With moves like this the trader figures that he could make back the money and more in the next week.

This particular stocks price pattern is extremely volatile and sporadic. The trader has no way to gauge where the price might move next. However, the trader still impulsively takes a position while holding onto the belief that the stock will make him a fortune. The trader is completely engrossed in the prospect of making a large sum of money in such a short amount of time. Because he was so eager and impatient, the trader had placed his trade without assessing any of the safer, more predictable stocks.

Nevertheless, the stock does not make him a fortune. The stock abruptly reverses downward in the next few days.

These are two classic scenarios of how many traders play the market. They let their emotions get the best of them and their trading success suffers as a result. Making trading decisions influenced by greed and fear will never produce profitable results.

So how do you take the emotions of greed and fear out of trading? The answer is simple. Lay out a solid strategy and stick to it.

This of course is often easier said than done. However, trading in a strict and systematic way limits the emotional element of trading significantly. Disciplined trading according to a plan is the antidote to emotional trading.

As mentioned before, trading based on predictions and emotion never leads to a profitable outcome. This is why sticking to a strategy is so important.

Stop-losses in particular are extremely important components in the strategy. When a stock hits your stop-loss it is extremely tempting to ignore it thinking a reversal is right around the corner. However, the truth is that you just dont know if its going to go up. When the stock hits your stop-loss, simply step back and take you position out of the market. If you made some profit off of the stock then thats great. If you lost some money, just wait and see if you get another buy signal from the stock and step back in.
