Trading Information Overload
It is amazing how many investing websites, newsletters, advertisements, and stock picking services there are. Every service touts their top picks and explains why you are missing out by not being a member. I have tried lots of services, techniques, etc…..and most are garbage.
There are some real sites out there with real traders that will provide information about how they approach the market and usually the common theme is that you have to be disciplined, follow the market everyday and stick to your method in good marketers and bad.
Unfortunately it takes most investors and traders years to realize that chasing stock picks from the latest newsletter or buying the latest system ends up leaving them with little to show for performance over time.
Yes, there are systems or methods that will give you an edge but you have to have discipline to follow that method in good times and bad.
You need to have a real interest for investing and constant learning, and you have to match your comfort level with your method of investing.
I mean if you lose sleep over losing 5% on a stock trade then buy index funds and don’t trade. There is so much garbage out there selling “The Dream” especially with Forex and Penny stocks. I have talked about options on here in past posts because they is so much you can do with options whether you are a trader or a long term investor but if you don’t take the time to understand what you are doing and simply subscribe to some option service spewing out weekly option picks then you will LOSE MONEY.
Making a living as a trader is no easy task and you have to learn the ropes like everyone else. There are some investing systems that do well but it’s the individual trader following that system that screw up. (You get greedy and don’t sell when the system says sell or you average down on a stock that the system said SELL because you think the stock will bounce,etc…..)
So if you are investing right now now and underperforming the market or churning your account then step back and evaluate what you are doing. If you feel lost then find some quality education(not some $5,000 guru seminar) but first go to industry sites like www.cboe.com for options and watch some free training.
If you want to learn options then I have mentioned in past posts that or posts about options and there is very useful information in the free newsletter
Please add me to your email list for your newsletter. Do you still recommend the Trading Pro System?
yes, i still recommend Trading Pro System because it provides a huge amount of information for the money than any other training i’ve seen for that price and I’ve tried a lot of them. It is a lot of information so it takes a little bit to digest and don’t try to be expert at every strategy all at once……but its real methods that real traders use and its not hype……I haven’t had a change to create a newsletter but was thinking of putting together a video mini course in trading options and using options with your long term portfolio…..since so many courses are only oriented around short term trading or penny stock or forex,etc….there is a optin form on the side of my website to get any future updates…..
