Why trade?
Why do you want to risk money which you have on hand, and give it a chance to disappear into the bottomless pit otherwise known as the financial markets?
True, there’s a chance your money might grow enormously. But is it worth the risk?
It is a fact that over 90% of traders lose money.
Some lose and quit for good.
Some lose, but persevere, yet they still lose.
A few lose yet persevere and improve.. sometimes, they succeed and become successful, consistently profitable traders.
There you have it, truth is you have a much larger chance of failing than you do at succeeding.
Your money on hand right now can buy you a brand new car or a month long trip to Hawaii with your family.
So why risk a perfectly good memorable holiday for you and your family?
I risk it because I have a dream. It is a dream which I think only trading can help me accomplish.
I dream of the freedom to travel around the world at my leisure.
Living it up in New York this month, travelling to Tokyo the next month to witness the wonder of cherryblossoms making their grand entrance onto the centre stage of every garden, then on to the Hawaii to squish their powdery white sands between my toes and soak up the warm sunshine. That’s exactly how life should be, one adventure after another!
Trading while I make footprints across the globe.
The world is our playground, a huge theme park filled with hundreds different rides!
And I intend to go on every single ride while I still can enjoy it.
I don’t want to turn all romantic and stuff, but I’ve found a partner I want to share this life with, she’s the most amazing person =) I aim to provide for her very very well on this journey together! =)
Only by being a successful trader will I have the freedom to accomplish this. Not to say there aren’t other ways to do it, I do intend to build other passive income streams along the way. But this is the one which I’ve chosen to start with first.
Therefore I trade.
Join me as I begin the first leg of my Journey: to become a successful trader.
So.. why do YOU trade?
Hi Ferrowolf, I was here, and you taught me about stocks, when I first started playing. I have since left trading, and converted to a buy and hold strategy, taking a longterm approach to stocks. I’m glad i bought, when everyone was shouting SELL, and I’m glad i held on, when everyone was taking profits..
Hope everything has been good for you.
Hi Kye,
Taking a buy and hold strat if you’re sufficiently capitalized is a great idea this year.
My view is that we’ve bottomed out early in the year, limited downside, lots of upside! Tho i’m looking forward to a decent sized retracement where I can load up on some counters.
Great to hear you’re riding this wave!
good investing to you buddy! =)
