We are not as good at making business decsions as making trading ones. I have brought friends in and kept them around to do business related things longer then I should, took bad advice etc. So, we "should have" made mid six figures this last year, but instead made about 90K each doing it. It...

I never suggested not having other sources of income. In my chatroom we talk about this too, having something else going on be it bonds, real estate etc. It helps a lot. But, I also think the idea that setups stop working so that is why you need other sources is silly.

From the first post Over the last month or so a surprising number of newbies have been starting to come into the market, more than anytime I can remember since early 2000. Maybe it should not be such a surprise given that the bull is back and all (This according to Barrons, Cavuto, Joe...

I would beg to differ on that, but anyway. I think people get way too caught up in setups. Three day pullbacks used to be all the rage. But, they never stop to undersand the concept behind why something works. If you take the time to think about that you can always make money. If you dont you...

The major problems people have is when they think in terms of absolutes and not in terms of a concept. Thats when setups "stop working". A few years ago it was very popular to find an uptreding stock that had pulled back for three days and then look to buy it. That doesnt work as well today as...

Your not going to get too much of an edge by "reading" level two. It can be more of a distraction then anything else. It is useful for routing your orders, but not much else IMHO. Brandon

Real Estate and websites. For me the education I do on the sites has helped me a lot, but also having the income from that and the real estate is great when the trading is not. It keeps me from panic and doing something stupid. Brandon

and you shouldn't masterbate because the Lord frowns upon wasting seed, you might get warts and go blind. :eek: Brandon

Keep up the good work. Brandon
