Learn To Trade Stocks and Options

Operation Christmas Child

My group of friends and our families have done the Operation Christmas Child charity shopping tradition for multiple years now, and I wanted to share it with you. Even if this video can get one person interested enough to do it themselves, then I will consider this video a massive success. Please consider! We have a lot to be thankful for.

What is a Mutual Fund?

Perhaps you are doing some initial research into the stock market and have heard about "mutual funds"? If you have no idea what that even means or how they work, then perfect! This video is for you. I use the pizza analogy from my previous trading 101 videos to explain the way a mutual fund is structured and what the main goal of the fund is.

I'm Flattered. But STOP IT!!!

This sort of situation does make me feel good from a "wow! That person really has faith in me and trusts me!" perspective; however, that doesn't mean it is what anyone should actually be doing with their approach to the market. I get it, people want to go, go, go! when it comes to trading due to the overall fun nature of how it works online. This ease of access though can really cause some people to take silly risks with their own money as you will see here. If you are doing (or thinking about doing) what this person is, STOP NOW!

I Got a New Truck! A 2018 GMC 1500 Sierra Denali

The plan has been in place for a while to add another vehicle for my family, and today was the day where planning, patience, and persistence all paid off. I hope to offer some motivation and inspiration to those of you in the middle of accomplishing a goal. Just know to stay focused and fight through the low points because the end goal is definitely worth it!

Penny Stock Arrogance. Let's Get Real.

I speak from experience when it comes to penny stock investors who display an insane amount of arrogance and cockiness. Sure, I see it all the time, but when I first start investing into penny stocks, I was the exact same way. I thought for sure I had found the diamond in the rough, but now... knowing what I know and understanding probabilities, it truly was such an arrogant attitude on my part. To pat myself on the back a bit, to my credit at least I realized this pretty quickly and changed my outlook and mindset in regards to penny stocks. Maybe you need to do the same? Let's find out.

ClayTrader Mail: A Sucker is Born Every Minute. It's True!

I'm honestly not real sure what to say about this actual interaction I had with someone, but yea... if you are this eager to throw money at someone because they're telling you something is quick and easy, then it's time to do some mental construction on yourself. You need a wake up call!

A Pillar of My Trading Strategy and Approach

A very common question I get in round-a-bout ways is what is something I’ve done in my trading that has been helpful. Now of course, learning how to actually trade is going to be at the top of the list; however, the spirit of the question I believe is geared more towards on going things I do to stay competitive as a trader. Given this format continues to get good feedback, I’m going to do a fireside chat and just keep it laid back as I talk about one of the best things I’ve done… and also show some proof on how it works in the real world.

The Market's Cruel Personality

The market absolutely loves to play with the emotions of new traders. One of the most common and favorite cruel jokes the market plays is making someone "think" they have it all figured out.... only to completely demoralize them by taking back all the money it gave the trader, and then some. One of the very tricky things about trading is whether your gains are coming from skill or luck. How can you tell? I go over this and more.

ClayTrader Mail: Ignorant Knowledge

Just because you have knowledge on a concept and/or topic does not mean you FULLY understand it. In many areas of life, this isn't a huge deal because it does not cost you any money to "learn more". This is not the case in the world of the financial markets. Whether you are trading stocks, options, futures, forex or cryptocurrencies, when you only have partial (ignorant) knowledge on concepts, it can prove to be very costly. Here's a minor example of exactly what I mean.

Another Real Estate Investing Deal in the Books

In this real estate investing deal, I had to "take back" this house from a former tenant who stopped paying and do a bit of fixing up to get it sold again. This is the second part of a previous vlog video where I showed this property immediately after the eviction happened.
