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.

Buy The Dip
20/11/2019 Duration: 15min"Buy The Dip" is one of the most popular expressions in the stock market today. It feels and seems like a fail safe strategy. In this podcast I discuss the problems with blindly adapting your trading strategy to this theory, and how it can ultimately comeback to destroy all of your capital.

Low Volume, All-Time Highs, Shock Events
14/11/2019 Duration: 17minThe stock market is trading in a period of incredible low volume, yet it is trading at all time highs. There's not a lot of conviction being shown at the moment to drive prices much higher, but there isn't any reason (yet) to drive it lower either.

Do You Have An Emotional Attachment To Your Trades
06/11/2019 Duration: 14minOn social media, and in particular, financial Twitter and StockTwits, people show how much emotion they carry into their trading. This is dangerous for your trading, and often times leads to horrible decisions about buying and selling a stock, because it is our emotions guiding our trading rather than clear concise decision making based on what the chart is telling us. I get attacked all the time by traders on social media, because I post a chart or make a comment that doesn't meet their narrative for what they think a stock should do. In this podcast I talk in great detail about why emotional trading and having an attachment to your trades is very unhealthy for your trading and finding long-term success in the financial market.

Conservative Trading In An Aggressive Market
30/10/2019 Duration: 15minThe stock market can go on aggressive runs and rallies, but should you commit your capital fully to each one, and do so blindly? There are some stock market rallies that are made to be aggressive with, and others that require that you be more on the conservative side. I use the current market rally that we are on right now as an example of why I was more conservative in my approach despite a market that was increasing in value at a very rapid pace to new all-time highs.

Lottery Vs Day-Trader Pattern Rule
24/10/2019 Duration: 17minAre you familiar with the Pattern Day-Trader Rule? Essentially, if you have less than $25,000 in your account, you cannot place more than three day-trades within a five business day period before you lose the right to open and close a stock on the same day. It is done under the guise of looking out for the little guy, but on the same note, governments across the country run the lottery system (i.e. Powerball, scratch off tickets, etc) that is primarily a tax on the financially hopeless and low income earners. So how can the government impose a day-trader pattern rule because they care about the small guy, but also run a lottery system that is designed to tax the low income earner?

Should You Invest in Stocks at All-Time Highs
16/10/2019 Duration: 13minThe stock market is back at prices that are just below its all-time highs and with it comes the struggle of actually trying to push through and establish new highs going forward. We've seen this story play out now for almost two years, going back to January 2018. Each time we get near all-time highs, or establish marginally higher ATH, we see price, suddenly and harshly, retreat lower. So the question is, at these levels, should you be even be considering any new investments for your long-term portfolio? I discuss that and more in this podcast.

A Contrarian Stock Market
09/10/2019 Duration: 14minThe stock market, more than ever before leans against your best intentions and intuitions. Whatever you think the stock market should do, it does the opposite of. If you think there is going to be little or no volatility, you'll get plenty of it, and when you think the market is going higher, it decides to go lower, just long enough to get you short, and then it goes higher. It can be a very frustrating experience for traders as they try to navigate the stock market and all of its complexities. In this podcast I dissect all of the emotional turmoil and difficulties that comes with trading a contrarian stock market.

When The Stock Market's Momentum Fades
20/09/2019 Duration: 08minThe stock market has this historical tendency, following a strong breakout or hard bounce, to see its momentum eventually fade.

In this podcast, I tackle these issues, and how you can keep your head above water and not ruin your portfolio.

Hurricanes And Trade Reviews
05/09/2019 Duration: 14minI survived Hurricane Dorian, and even traded during the storm itself. Honestly, it wasn't all that impressive, and in fact, I'm more annoyed at how much the media over-hyped the storm than anything else. August was a solid month of trading for me - the market declined over 2% and for myself, I made a very solid profit. Those kinds of months, where I can buck the market's price action is so critical to my long-term success, and also allows for me to avoid the dreaded portfolio draw down. In this podcast, I talk about the effects of Hurricane Dorian and trading through it as well as the goods and bads of my August trading as a whole.

How Much Money Should You Put On A Trade
22/08/2019 Duration: 19minThis is probably the most asked question that I get on a daily basis. I am always being asked how much money do I put on each of my trades - how much do I allocate or should a person trade with. Honestly, what someone else does or how much they trade has no real value to how you should be trading. You have to trade what you are comfortable with and what you can reasonably manage. In his podcast, I talk about how you should approach capital allocation with each trade you make.
