How to Begin with Investing and Trading (Series): A Traders History
The Blog Entry that Accompanies this Vlog is at: investorandtrader.blogspot.com My Daily Blog is at: investorandtrader.blogspot.com My channel at BlogTV is: www.blogtv.com My Podcast is at: airelon.podbean.com and embedded in the daily blog when I release a new podcast. Ok. Good information. But I want to trade. How do I begin? How do I get started. Great question. Some people want to invest in the stock market. Some people want to day trade. Some people want to swing trade in the stock market. How do you begin? I discuss that in thisvideo . . . NOTE: This is not an investment or trading recommendation. The losses in trading can be very real, and depending on the investment vehicle, can exceed your initial investment. I am not a licensed trading or investment adviser, or financial planner. But I do have 13 years of experience in trading and investing in these markets. The Challenge accounts are run for the education of other traders who should make their own decisions based off their own research and risk tolerance

@forexyard Well … I’m not sure about a lifetime. It gets to a point where trading can become pretty boring, once mastered. I’d say with a good coach or mentor, maybe 4 years.
@AirelonTrading Anyone can identify a trend line or a head and shoulders pattern. A day to learn, a lifetime to master
@forexyard Basically, technical analysis can be taught in a day. Mabye two. As Don Miller has said, it’s like learning poker. You can learn the hands, and what beats what and the basic rules in about a day.
Never met someone who learned the rules of poker in a day, and then could play with professionals …
@AirelonTrading The fundamentals can’t be ignored, but 10% seems a little light. Take for instance today, the stress tests can’t be ignored and will be driving trading today.
@forexyard Technical analysis is only about 10% of what it takes to be profitable in trading. In 14 years of doing this, I have never … ever … met a trader who is profitable using technical analysis alone. I use it. But as I said, for about 10% of my total work …
A thorough run through of the technical analysis needed to succeed in the forex market.
Who ultimately pays for interest Federal Reserve pays to banks to keep money idle ?
Fed is concerned about deflation but why they encourage money to just sit their idly. Does not that discourage investment ?
And where Fed gets money to pay such enormous interest on trillions of dollars just sitting there?
In Monty Python’s *Holy Grail* it is said that *Camelot is a Silly place*,…I think the Stock Market is a *Silly Place*,….been there done that. Cheers
@TheSilverWatch I own gold and silver bullion.
But to say … “Run away from the stock market” is silly. Just silly. Especially when long term buy and hold investors can make money when the stock market falls.
Buy Physical Gold and Silver Bullion !….run away from the Stock Market!
@AirelonTrading
fascinating video
what is he trying to achieve though by fear mongering into more trouble . Seems like those comments capable to cause more trouble . what is his interest ?
@Hot4Chess Just my personal opinion, but Greenspan quotes are to be taken with a grain of salt. The guy publicly admitted to trying to obfuscate his speech in public statements ( watch?v=9JHctWztRww )
It can, and will happen at some point. But the question when it comes to any moves in the capital markets – is “when” – the timing. If you shorted the Q’s in 1999, you went to the poor house. If you shorted the Q’s in 2001, you were an instant millionare. Same trade, different timing. :^)
Greenspan wrote in an opinion piece posted on the Wall Street Journal’s website. “Long-term rate increases can emerge with unexpected suddenness,” such as the 4 percentage point surge over four months in 1979-80, he said.
@Hot4Chess Good question. It’s a trade that “looks obvious”, but I’ve been watching traders get their faces ripped off trying to implement it.
We’re actually about to enter a very bullish (cheaper rates) seasonal time for interest rates too (July through August / September)
any clue when will long term interest rates rise in US ?
@AirelonTrading
well that was not that scary , was it . LOL yahoo answers and money talk removed it again
they are either dumb or fearful , probably both
it is hilarious
@Hot4Chess No, not really. Depends on the stock, which exchange it’s listen on, what it’s base currency is. With other countries in default and the current US Dollar carry trade still on … there might be some short term scary in U.S. equities before the carry trade pushes the U.S. stocks higher. Especially if that countries bond market plummets (Interest rates skyrocket) and there is a cold move to that countries currency in order to earn a yield
You sound like a smart guy and know what you are talking about .
I tied to get an answer from so many blogs and Internet sites like money talk yahoo answers and many others
They remove my question without explanation
Can you tell me why they are so scared of it ? Considering my question is very simple and non discriminative
well here it goes : what would happen to value of stocks in case of country’s default
is that scary question ?
@TheSophist2007 No … it’s not.
It’s reacting to the current market pressures, and seeing where the market has already begun to lean, before the actual move occurs. You have pressures that begin to build in a market, before it makes it’s move. Pressures such as accumulation in buying pressure. Distribution in selling pressure. Seasonality pressure. All of these forces build and lean into the market before the market makes its moves
Professional traders react. They don’t predict.
@AirelonTrading if your not predicting what are you doing? you cannot know everything , so you must be making some kind of probablilistic gamble or hunch on what is happening in a market in order to make a position in the market?
you must be makeing a future prediction that the price is going to go up, or likely to go up on some premise.
isn’t that the whole point of investing
@dalesalsa I was determined!!
@TheSophist2007 Who says I predict anything? Predicting is for newbies. I’m known for saying when I’m asked where the market is going: “I don’t know, and I don’t care”
Only newbs think you have to ‘predict’ the market.
