Increased skills & Confidence
Confidence is Key
There are several seminars/courses that offer to teach some simple techniques that will produce large gains. The problem with these services is that they do not really teach. They offer insights about observations. If an investor sees a pattern but does not understand that pattern, it is risky to trade on that pattern. The pattern could stop working or reverse and result in large losses.
My courses are designed to help you increase your understanding of business, the stock market, and your confidence. Confidence is key to investing successfully because to be a successful investor requires that you make your own decisions and ignore the noise/media/other experts. It requires emotional resolve. You will gain confidence by increasing your business acumen, trading live markets safely by using virtual accounts, learning to trade real money with low risk, and practicing.
Confidence is key to success. What is key to gaining confidence? Practice and CONSISTENT positive returns and limiting losses. My goal is to increase your knowledge, understanding, and risk adjusted performance. If you focus on understanding business and building confidence, you will become a better investor! You must learn to walk before you can run. This is not a get rich quick scheme. It is designed to teach you to be better at business and investing forever, in any market condition, in any situation (starting or buying a business, selling a business, interviewing for a job, making daily financial decisions, etc.).
Over time you will build instincts based on experience and when you become highly skilled, you should always listen to your intuition and instincts (your subconscious mind notices more than your conscious mind). Successful investors do not look to others for approval or confirmation of being correct. You will learn to make decisions independent of others and to not be influenced by their opinions or emotions.
