The Best Trading Proverbs

[themickey]

Jesse Lauriston Livermore has been one of the most memorable books I've ever read, actually I think 3 times read now plus referred to at times.
In my opinion for each individual there is a right and wrong way to trade.
And trading funnily enough is not rocket science, just buy and sell, FFS, how hard is that?
When you have a well thought out trading plan and stick to it with discipline, you should be on the right side of the market, imo.

it's just a matter of time now... or .... step on a land mine,

%% I see your points LL.
Most ALL of my charts are grey/ black + white/grey. I know many men are colorblind LOL ..Many of my charts are red + green....... IBD used red white + blue barcharts
When IBD uses that'' right side'' quote they ,mean the profitable side[.JL LiverMore did blow up several times ]Thanks

Buy from those whose trading ability is less than yours, and later when those same traders come to buy, let them have your shares.

A good opinion should be nurtured inside. Once shared it quickly gets devalued.

' The popular idiom, "great minds think alike," gets it wrong.

Great minds think differently. That is what makes them great minds. '
