ClayTrader Mail - An Ego Can Be Blinding

Confidence is a great thing to have as a trader as you trade the markets.

As you'll see, this person is so anxious to get started that it is causing them to simply fly by some of the key components that are needed to make consistent profits.

The Ultimate Game: The Stock Market

If you really enjoy games that are centered around "battling whits", then look no further than the stock market. People from all over the world play it, so if you are confident in your abilities to make decisions based off other variables, then the stock market is something you should consider.

Understanding Opportunity Cost and Life

The concept of opportunity cost is in my opinion one of the most important ideas that should be understood in order to maximize life.

ClayTrader Mail: Degenerate Gamblers

The stock market is considered by some the same as a large casino. They show up wanting excitement and fun, and in all honestly, I have no problem with it.
