While waiting in line to get in, I started talking to 2 Hofstra University students (1 male, 1 female) who won tickets to the event through the student lottery. For 30 minutes, we were laughing our asses off! [...]

The Market is a Beast of its Own, Respect it!

In the fall of 1987, there were 11 days of distribution (heavy volume selling) BEFORE the October 1987 crash. In September 2001, the market was looking horrible, no stocks were setting up, and out of nowhere...9/11 happened. Fast forward to today. In late September/early October the market experienced heavy distribution. I went to 100% cash [...]

Confidence is Everything!

From all the reading I've done, amazing people I've talked to, and my own life observations, I've come to the conclusion that: Confidence is everything! No matter what you do in life, you have to believe in yourself and maintain a strong state of mind...especially if you're a stock trader. Stock trading might be one of the [...]

Can You Learn About Someone Through Twitter?

About a year ago, Howard Lindzon (the StockTwits CEO) appeared on CNBC. The reporter asked him: "Can you learn about someone through their tweets?" Howard responded: "Of course!"

If you don't protect your money, you'll have nothing to trade with when a new rally begins. 2) Just as important is PROTECTING CONFIDENCE.
