Life of a Boring Old Guy

Life of a Boring Old Guy

Everybody on KZread has awesome adventures and stories to tell. Not me. I’m just a normal old guy making my way. I have a regular job, a family a dog and some fish.
But is that really normal? You tell me.
I think I may be older than 90% of the KZreadrs, who cares. There is still a lot of life, thoughts, adventures and more that need to get out of me head. KZread is a great outlet for it.
This is not my first launch onto KZread. This will be the best!
Sit back and take in the life of a boring old man.

    Great video. I’ve learned the hard way that sometimes you don’t have to wait for your take profit to hit to close out your trade and take your profit and run to the bank lol. And biggest thing I’ve learnt is just because you see an opportunity doesn’t mean it’s your opportunity wait for your moment and follow your strategy and go for it and take it from there 🕺☝️Thank you for the wisdom buddy 🙌🙌

    A big problem is that a lot of people just wanna get rich quick. If a stock rises you already have to be in before it starts. If you want to be "sure" to be in before it rises you either have to have some knowledge to get in just the moment before it rises or you have to be in way earlier and have to wait till it rises again. And if you can't handle the fact your balance is down because you already think it's a 100% loss why would you even be in it? Wait till it's low enough, get in, ride the roller coaster and sell high(er). Easy, but you have to stick with it (in theory) 😅

  • @LifeofaBoringOldGuy

    Good stuff. You’re right. A movement starts and people think they must get in or they will miss an opportunity. Typical FOMO. Patience, waiting for the right time to enter and avoiding greed by taking a profit when it happens. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Small incremental gains over a long period of time. 1% better every day. Thank you for watching and your comments. I hope you continue to watch.

    The truth is the manipulators move the stock against all day trader. All wall street firms are in on it. Brokers, Clearing, Market makers, hedge funds...notice how they never lose? Its a computer program (algorithm) they use to sweep as many positions away as possible. Sure a few win...but not consistantly. The best chance you have is to trade on higher time frames like 4h,daily charts.

Thats prob more than half of her annual income, but hopefully she can retire soon. Im working on a trading strategy now that has been working that I hope will replace her income so she can retire. I just need to get us by until 2028 when she can take her state pension early. After that we should be good.

    Oh also. Fyi. I have my credit card at Fidelty and earn rebates on what I spend and when I earn those 2% I think it is cash rewards they go into my broker account. There I invest them and I pay everything I can with my credit card and my broker account has grown dramatically using this strategy over the last 15 years. I opened up my son and daughter with the same thing the last 4 to 6 years and now they have a nice little broker account earning them money. They don't have many bills, but I think my son already has around $500 of free money he built up and I make them fund their 401k and I help fund their IRAs so they already about around 75k and 50k and they are 22 and 24 years old this year.

    I might comment that one of your best points was about keeping your watch list limited to 10 stocks. I actually , after decades of trading, realized that limiting your list is one of the most important points. I actually only watch about 6, the same 6 most of the time. That means, you MIGHT not see a good set up every day, and that's is alright. There will always be trades. If you have too many, no way you can stay focused.

    If your thesis was wrong and a stock you picked goes into big drawdown, you should not just hold it blindly. Instead, reevaluate the potential of the stock to recover. Warren Buffett once said "you don't have to make it back the way you lost it". Many times it's better to take the loss and put the money to work in a different trade with better potential
