For those picking up this book who have little to no experience in the markets, I'll start off by welcoming you to the world of trading and investing. One of the greatest achievements for the human mind and psyche is to identify a business opportunity and then profit by taking decisive action.
Let me start off by addressing the newcomer or novice investor. I am not going to scare you away with heavy technical stuff, at least not now because that will come later. For the advanced trader, there are quite a few golden nuggets of trading concepts packed in these pages.
Many individuals exclude themselves from the markets for one reason or another. As it has been said, I believe more people plan for a family holiday than they do for their investments or financial futures. Perhaps others have a profound fear of loss and shy from making effective reasoning rationale.
Yet this is a business where it takes money to make money. There is no question about that. One has to be able to afford to lose once in a while and not let that hinder one's ability to make better educated and therefore more reasonable actions in the markets. My goal in this book is to help you to learn how to structure a formulated perspective in order to overcome all disputes that often lead to poor judgments or inaction.
Remember, the reason you are looking to trade is simple: to make money. Never forget this. Friedrich Nietzsche, the German philosopher, stated long ago, “The most fundamental form of human stupidity is forgetting what we were trying to do in the first place.” Never forget that this is the bottom line, to make money. Yet many do, mostly as fear, doubt, and greed interfere with rational thinking.
In order to give you the edge, I want to take a comprehensive look at how we can use the information in this book and apply it to real-time trading. There are obviously volumes of different material we can look at, like macroeconomic effects and the business cycle. Or microeconomic events like earnings and other situations that will impact a stock or a sector and the overall market's performance. Quite frankly, we will most likely cover many of those subjects in this book.
My goal was to put together a sophisticated yet simplistic book in such an organized manner that any trader would be able to walk through the steps contained in these pages, which combine the most relevant tools we have at our disposal, to make better, lower-risk, and more profitable trades as a direct result of better educated investment decisions. I have what I consider some simple tools in a technically oriented and complex time.
