Are Pump-n-Dumps Bad? (crypto & penny stocks)

If you are in the world of cryptocurrency or penny stocks, I’m sure you’ve heard the term pump-n-dump. Who knows, if you are anything like me when I first got started over a decade ago, maybe you’ve been taken advantage of by one? There are many people who, understandably so, believe pump-n-dumps to be bad. Why bother wasting any of your time with a pump-n-dump situation is their logic. As mentioned, I can understand this though; however, when you arm yourself with knowledge of how pump-n-dumps work, you can leverage them into your favor and make money! A pump-n-dump has lots of moving parts and characters within it, but each of them individually is simple to understand. Learning about each of these parts will turn you from “being hunted” into “being the hunter”. If you are someone with a smaller account and want to better understand how to grow your account with pump-n-dumps, then I have a (FREE) solution for you! I will explain in the video!

I have a challenge for you! As a beginner day trader it is very common to not know “where you stand” in your learning journey. Are you learning?

3 “Must Have” Tools for Beginner Traders

One of the most overwhelming parts of being a beginner trader is trying to figure out what tools are needed. There are so many tools available with so many different bits of technology. I feel pity for those of you who are just getting started in the financial markets! When I started, it was so much simpler in the sense of not getting overwhelmed by a tidal wave of choices of tools to use. In this video I want to make your life easier. I want to give you three “must have” tools that all beginners will need and should have. I will apply what I call the TAF Method. You’ll need to be able to trade, analyze and get feedback if you want to find success as a trader. I will put the links to each of the tools here in the description and save you the time and headache of needing to dig through the mountains of other choices. Even if you are not a beginner, maybe one of these tools will be just what you need to breakout of the current funk you find yourself in. We’ve all been there! Let’s talk the TAF Method and simplify what tools are needed!

I Was a Degenerate Gambler (Here’s What I Learned…)

The life of a degenerate gambler. I decided to try it for a week within the world on online stock trading and wanted to share what I learned. For those of you not aware, I created the Degenerate Gambler Trading Challenge. Below you can watch the context video which explains why I did it and the rules of the challenge. I wanted to do a final wrap up of the challenge using TraderVue software to help give deeper insight into the numbers and data results. I had a really good time with the challenge and while my ego took a hit, I would consider the overall challenge a success. If you are someone who is a beginner to the world of online day trading or someone who is struggling with following the rules of your trading strategy, this video serious will be for you. You will see fully transparency and data into how the challenge played out day by day. I hope this gives you some ideas and suggestions on how you can improve your behavior as a trader within the boundaries of your personal strategy!

Day 5 of The Degenerate Gambler Trading Challenge

Day number five of my online stock day trading challenge has is filled with ego leading to fear. No worries though, for those of you who “want to see trades”, you’ll get all of that as I make a total of four stock trades. As always, will I be able to follow the rules per the challenge? I’m not going to ruin that here, you’ll jus have to watch the video to find out how the trades play out. Let’s get to it!

Day 2 of The Degenerate Gambler Trading Challenge

It is day number two of The Degenerate Gambler Trading Challenge. I’ll just offer a minor spoiler, today had me VERY disappointed in myself. One small thing today really turned around the overall results of the challenge (granted, it’s only been two days, but still!). In hindsight, hopefully my stock trading results from today can offer up some encouragement that what happened today, happens to everyone! Be sure to stick around until the end of the video when we do some data analysis of Day 1’s results using some amazing software. Buckle up for another day of trades and an overall day that left me disappointed! 

The Degenerate Gambler Trading Challenge (explained…)

It’s time for a trading challenge! I’m going to call it The Degenerate Gambler Trading Challenge #DGTC! In this video I want to explain why I’m doing the trading challenge and how it will work. I realize the title is a bit eye catching given what I preach on the channel; however, please watch the video so I can add in more context. This will be a challenge where I “think like a degenerate gambler but within a controlled and rules based way”. I recently had a premium member share their struggles in our chatroom and it sparked an idea for this challenge. I hope you prove to everyone that when you have the right mindset going into trading, behaving how you should (in regards to your trading strategy rules) will become way easier to do. This challenge is not about seeing how dumb I can get in regards to taking gambles, it’s all about following rules and proving it can be done. If you have any amount of trading experience, then I’m sure you know just how hard it can be to follow your strategy rules. You could have all the knowledge in the world, but if you don’t know how to think about your money, your knowledge will ultimately prove to be worthless. It’s time to be a degenerate and have some, controlled. fun! 

The Trap Door of Greed for Day Traders (so sneaky!)

Greed can come in many forms. Some of these forms are very obvious while others operate as trap doors that hide in plain sight. The obvious forms of greed already make successful day trading challenging enough; however, when you factor in the trap doors of greed, day trading becomes way more difficult. I should note, just because a task is very challenging does not mean it is impossible. Understanding the human mind and how emotions work is a vital piece of the puzzle for finding profitable results as a day trader. In this video I will show you some of my personal day trading results that demonstrate one of these trap doors of greed. In hindsight, I look like a total moron (and I am!), but it illustrates just how sneaky the emotion of greed can be for us as day traders. No theory here! Let me show you some real life results that explain the point!

This Graph Shows How Easy (or Hard) Day Trading Will Be

Thinking of getting into the world of online day trading to make some money? Maybe you’ve seen someone on social media talking about how much money they’ve made through day trading? I’m guess you’re also wondering just how realistic being a money making day trader is. It’s a good thought on your part. Why bother with a task if the task is going to be next to impossible to accomplish? In this video I will show you a graph demonstrating how easy (or hard) day trading will be. This graph is designed to help you keep your expectations in line with reality. There is nothing worse than showing up for anything and then finding out you had no idea what you were actually getting involved with. My goal is to help you avoid that headache and give you a clear picture of what you should (and should not) expect from the craft of day trading online.

Investing in Cathie Wood Funds - Should You? (Ark Invest)

Thinking of investing into some of Cathie Wood funds through her line-up of Ark Invest? For you longer time members, you already know where this is all headed, but goodness… she’s making it too easy! Cathie Wood recently revealed another confession about her strategy and recent results. I had to read the headline multiple times in order to ensure I read it correctly. I couldn’t believe what she admitted! I’m not a very smart person and what she was admitting to was something I was talking about (all documented on past YouTube videos) over a year ago. I don’t say this to brag, because the dots I connected were very basic. You would think someone who is managing millions upon millions of dollars of other people’s money would be able to connect those same dots, but apparently, she didn’t. Anyways, the short answer is… NO, I don’t believe you should be investing into her products due to her lack of wisdom and ability to connect basic dots. If you want more reasoning, then be sure to watch the video!
