Synopsis
When it comes to trading, I have a few beliefs that I stand by...- Anyone can become a successful trader...and I do mean anybody. - If you focus on the risk in a trade, the profits will take care of themselves. - There is no place for an ego or a win-at-all-costs mentality. If you want to become a profitable trader, you can...and I can help you do exactly that! I was't born into a hedge fund, or the off-spring of a rich banker. Far from it - I worked in corporate America, and I hated it. I was underutilized, underappreciated, and overlooked on a daily basis. I hated what I did, and felt like a ship lost at sea. That is when I decided to do something about my life, and fall back on the skills that my dad taught me with a small inheritance of $5,000 at the ripe young age of eleven. I started swing-trading again. I balanced the responsibilities of corporate America while managing my trades in a dynamic stock market. I spent my nights studying and creating watch-lists and figuring out how I could consistently profit without any major setbacks along the way. And you know what? I did it. It didn't happen overnight, and there were times where I doubted myself (actually a lot of times), but in the end I gave the boss my two-week notice, and now I get to trade with you fine people every day. Where did SharePlanner come from? At first, SharePlanner was intended to be a way for me to express my thoughts on the stock market and to document my successes and lessons learned from the not-so-successful trades. But now, having gained quite the following over the years, SharePlanner has become one of the internet's longest running financial blogs, as I've posted thousands of real-time trades, wrote over 10,000 articles, and survived and profited from multiple market crashes and am known within the trading community as being a person of consistency, transparency, and reliability. I have developed an enormous obcession for helping traders find success in the market and actually see their account at year end flashing those heart warming green numbers that are so desired. For years, I have helped swing-traders find their niche in the stock market and each year, I have posted eah and every trade I have ever taken, and you know what? Each year I have finished with a profit. That's because I manage the risk, first and foremost, and I don't allow myself to hold on to losing trades. If you're interested, I specialize in swing-trading equities both long and short, educating traders on how to do it, and helping them succeed and become the best trader they can be.

Why The Crowd Always Loses
13/05/2020 Duration: 16minThe stock market crash and the subsequent stock market rally has everyone hoping that the worse is behind them as it pertains to the stock market, their 401(k), IRA's, and other retirement accounts. However, what the crowd does in regards to the stock market, and in particular to trading is rarely the right move. In fact history will tell you that ultimately the crowd is always wrong. You have tons and tons of first time traders opening accounts with Robinhood for the first time in hopes that they are special an can benefit from the current stock market bounce and make riches like they have never experienced before. Instead, they are likely to be the bagholders that take the brunt of the losses, when this market takes a nose dive lower once again.

Buy Quality or Buy Catastrophe

For many their focus turns toward the most catastrophic names in the stock market like the airlines, the cruise lines and other specific names like Boeing (BA) and Restoration Hardware (RH).

Your Portfolio: Time For You To Take Control
18/03/2020 Duration: 20minIt is amazing how little financial knowledge exists with people when it comes to the stock market but nonetheless, people stuff their life savings into it, and only get interested when they are seeing a 30% drop like what we are currently seeing right now. The sad part is, because they really don't know what they are doing they rely on financial advisers, who really don't know much either. Instead they endure painful draw downs that could have been avoided. It is time that you took control and became more literate with the the stock market, because no one will ever care for your money as much as you do. You need to learn how to plan, how to manage risk, you need to invest in your money just like you do with your own hobbies and adventures. That way you don't have to be held hostage to the whims and ways of the stock market. Today the stock market suffered its worst sell-off since the October 19, 1987. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by 10% today, and right behind it was the Nasdaq and S&P 500.&nb

Trading The Stock Market Crash of 2020
12/03/2020 Duration: 21minToday the stock market suffered its worst sell-off since the October 19, 1987. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by 10% today, and right behind it was the Nasdaq and S&P 500. People are panic selling as a result of the Coronavirus that is affecting the world.

Your Opinion Doesn't Matter
04/03/2020 Duration: 13minKind of rude to say that one's opinion doesn't matter, but it isn't me saying it, it is the stock market saying that. It doesn't care what your opinion is, but far too often we hold to our opinion with complete desperation in hopes that we are ultimately proven right. But trading in the stock market doesn't require you to be right, nor do you have to be, in order to be successful. In this episode I discuss how the more opinionated you are with the stock market the more likely you are to lose it all, with regard to your trading capital. Successful trading requires that you toss out your opinion and follow the market's lead.
