The Trader
In today’s high tech
world, everybody is a stock trader. It hardly matters what profession you come
from, everyone is playing the stock market. A few years ago, many individuals
didn’t know anything about investing in stocks, nor did they know anything
about the companies whose stock they have been trading.
Our research shows a large
segment of today’s stock market speculators are short term. When we say
short term, we show an average holding time for these ‘short term’
traders to be a little over 62 days! The volume in the stock market over the
past few years indicates that stocks are changing hands at a rapid pace and
apparently back and forth. This form of investing is not the traditional buy
and hold methodology, but more closely resembles characteristics similar to
derivative speculating, an art which has historically been left to the futures
traders. Stock options contribute to the new short-term way of thinking and
appear to have transformed the way smaller investors approach the stock market.
Sure enough, in our research we have found a distinction between two groups
of investors, the older generation and the new. The older generations stick
to the buy and hold methodology, while the younger investors are aggressively
jumping in and out of stocks and using the derivative instruments to speculate
on the short-term direction of individual stocks. As you might have guessed,
the younger generation has not done as well as the older generation who consistently
buys and holds. In fact, contrary to what these younger investors might imply,
they have not faired that well in today's stock market. The fact is, most short-term
stock market speculators have lost money trading and are in the red!
Are you short term or longer
term? Making money consistently by trading stocks on a short-term basis is impossible
according to our studies. There are simply far too many unknown variables in
the short term trading that cannot be predicted. So the question is... Can you
make money CONSISTENTLY investing on a short-term basis? The answer is yes,
but not by trading individual stocks. Historical data indicates it is possible
using another form of investment vehicles. The commodity markets. The commodity
futures markets exhibit repeating patterns and an underlying order, which can
be tracked and traded successfully on a very short-term basis. In commodities,
it does not matter if prices are going up or down because you can profit from
both sides! The commodity markets offer an opportunity for short-term traders
to consistently profit on relatively short-term fluctuations.
Commodity Futures Trading
Before you even tackle
such a huge task as learning about commodity trading you first need to determine
if futures trading is suitable for you. This is a risky business with large
potential rewards and equally large potential risks. Honestly, this is not suitable
for everyone. One of the facts you most come to realize is that statistics tell
us some 80% of all futures traders lose money. Are you sure you have what it
takes to be in the 20% population of winners? Some traders have been trading
for decades and never become profitable! This is a very difficult profession
that requires a great amount of work and dedication. Are you willing to do the
work? If you answered yes to the question, then our trading systems can help
you learn how to trade commodities.
We can teach you everything
from the basics of trading right up through and including our advanced systems.
Successful trading skills and knowledge can be taught, but it does require a
passion and strong drive to succeed on your part in order to get through the
learning process! The rewards can be priceless.
Be very careful about purchasing
books, videotapes, audiotapes or even attending seminars on the subject of commodity
trading. We must warn you that there is a lot of junk on the market that is
all hyped up from people only interested in selling their junk. Be it books,
tapes, systems or even the seminars. Remember the truth in that old saying "if
it sounds to good to be true then it probably is". Many of these
people writing books, selling tapes and holding seminars do not even trade!
So be very careful.
If after reading through
our web site you are still determined and extremely excited about
futures trading, then you'll need someone to show you the ropes
of trading. You simply cannot learn everything from reading books.
If that were the case we would not need college campuses or professors.
All we would need is libraries. You'll need assistance and instruction
from someone who trades the markets like we do. Floyd has spent
the last 10+ years developing software for tracking, monitoring
and taking measurements in the markets on a daily basis. Through
our exclusive membership program, you can have access to this same
software.
