Note: These returns include markets like the one we are in now (gasp). However, they are averages! My income has dried up in the current market, but "on average," I've had no problem earning this.

I get stressed when I care too much about things I have no control over (I.e., the stock market movement). I obtain emotional peace when I care primarily about the things I can control and influence (how much risk I take when investing). This can also apply to politics. 😜

This is a friendly reminder about why I don't post here as much: it's not because of the trolls or the toxic environment, which seemed to worsen around November/December 2024. Maybe it was an algorithm change, but posting here is no longer fun, engaging, or educational.

I'm not into his investing style, and I don't know him personally, but these truths are spot on.

Bear markets pale in comparison to bull markets, both in market movement and duration. A good reminder for every long-term investor.

Here's something I see in the trading education industry that annoys me: Your favorite FURU boasts about their profits and foolproof system in a bull market (you have to buy their course to learn more). When the markets fall, they either conveniently stop talking about the

Markets will recover long before things are clear and people will say "wow, amazing, so strange, makes no sense" even though that's the entire 200 year history of the stock market.

An estate planning lawyer asked me if I was interested in managing money for a living. That was the "initial" goal, but I got seduced into coaching, LOL. However, I am thinking about that more and more. Does anyone here know how that process works? Not theoretically, but you

Rolf Stocks&Options That is for sure! Trying to time the market is a fools game. Rolf, have your read Trader Travis Wilkerson books? Particularly, the books with the green and purple covers? I highly recommend these books. Within another three months, "I will only be spending 30 minutes or less per month,"

Mistress Dividend The honest answer is myself but one person that I can truly recommend with confidence is Trader Travis Wilkerson. Read his books today, not tomorrow.

In my biased opinion, scaling back is something more active traders should do. What I noticed in my own life was that I often used active trading as a distraction. Instead of dealing with how miserable my home life and relationships were, I looked at stock charts for hours on

It’s been awhile since I’ve attended a live event but I’m attending one now put on by the master of trading ⁦The Brown Report - Jason Brown⁩. Jason is doing big things and I’m catching a ride on his rocket. I’ve really enjoyed myself here!

Recap of the Power Trades live event put on by The Brown Report - Jason Brown: Why did I go even though I no longer actively trade the stock market? Because I'm a student of excellence and love learning from big thinkers. Also, Jason doesn't just teach active trading. On day one, he started

I'm thrilled this concept is catching on! If you want more details on it, a book on Amazon titled Put Option Profits teaches it. However, I'm biased as I wrote the book 😆—link in my bio.
