Look around and the Funds are offering 5 - 10% annually generally. A good trader is expecting to make that in a week and occasionally in a day. Of course some managers do better and pocket huge bonuses.
give a retail trader $4 trillion and you'd get the same return - a profit of $2billion. The banksters still owe trillions-they don't actually make money,they just suck it out of the rest of us
18 years! It is not luck or bull market if you last this long. I am riding this bull market, so won't know when the ride will be over. Best to you.
I don't get bullish ever- I trade options, so don't care what those imbeciles get up to in their imaginiary p/e ratios and other hilarious fundamentals-BS lifts the market, truth smashes it to bits -I loved 2008
Look after YOUR own mind and body and relationships with useful other people and you stand a much better chance of success in life
Went through this resurrected ever-green thread from the very beginning, here is a quick summary in order of advice frequency, if you are in a hurry: - let profits run, add to winning positions; - cut losses; - never trade on margin; - risk management first, always fear about losing everything you have at the moment; - turn off TV, don't read forums or follow someone else advice; - trading is an art, not a science, focus on discretionary trading, develop your personal skill; - learn yourself more than the market. Nothing new, it's their order that may be important PS: My first idea when I came to trading was betting against the Average Joe. Not "buy what he sells" but follow inverse fundamental principles. I came to almost the same list at the end, which is interesting by itself, especially adding to winning positions at the first place.
most people don't understand the market except the few insiders so we just do what we can and take money off those ******** lovely fellows build our account and our knowledge base. 1-2% a month is possible with zero drawdowns -I never ever trade naked-though nudity is the default position in my house
