Short-Term Financial Superman

Many years ago I attended a course and one of the instructors told a funny story about how he started out in the trading world.

He said, “When I first started trading the worst thing possible happened to me. I started to make money”. He said that he started to see a large S emblazoned on the front of his shirt and thought he was a genius and that this was easy.

He told the story to illustrate the trap that many new traders fall into the mindset that it is easy to make money in the markets. As he and I both found out, it is not.

In Malcolm Gladwell’s book “The Outliers”, he gives many examples of the people that are very successful, pointing out that an overnight success for these people is a misconception. He found that each and every one of them had put in at least 10,000 hours before they had any sort of success in their respective fields.

Trading and investing are no different. It takes time and experience, discipline and money management, emotional strength, and a proven method to trade consistently and successfully every year. The only way to fast-track the process is to learn from people that have paved the way and that are willing to share successful principles and methods so you don’t make the same mistakes that they did and get the success you deserve sooner.

It has and will always be the intention of this service to help people navigate the markets and outperform most methods. I am only able to do that as I put in the time, persevered, and have an appetite to continually learn and get better and better at it. But, you will only be able to do that if you avoid the “S” on the chest and stick to the rules and follow the system.  🙂
