The Problem is Simple...No One Taught Us How to Make Money

Posted: Oct 26, 2009 |Comments: 0 |

Like a lot of people, I have a college education.  Years ago I planned a career in corporate America and live the middle class American dream.  I was lucky, I fell into the trading business and learned about money.  It wasn't on purpose, I didn't suddenly decide that being a trader was a great idea...the job was offered to me.

During one the current recession, I have made one very interesting observation about the US population.  We don't have the slightest idea on how to make money efficiently with a level of low risk.  We've forgotten the principle of the American dream.  It's shocking

I have a friend who is a university professor and has found his salary cut back drastically and has decided he is going to start a restaurant.  Of course, it will take all of his savings and a hefty loan from a banking friend to finance his operation, and then there is the problem of running a successful restaurant. He knows nothing about restaurants, or making money, but a restaurant was the best idea he could come up with.  And he is going to risk his life savings and mortgage his future on a bet that he can make the thing work out.  I hope he does...


What's wrong with this picture?  We are a country of technology and education, but the true sense of entrepreneurship we enjoyed in the past is fading.

Do you have a Plan B?  Sure, you can sell some fruity health drinks that promise everlasting life, sell berries to lose weight, or pester your friends to death with the latest MLM opportunity, complete with ads of successful MLMer's driving Ferrari's and living in mansions.  I think anyone who has every been involved in an MLM knows how the story usually works out.  It ain't pretty, or cheap.

What wrong with learning a skill specifically designed to make money?

This is the point where I become completely baffled.  I trade, all I do is try to make money.  I don't try to sell anyone, and my income is is not dependent on someone else buying the latest gizmo I am trying to hawk.  I have a distinct and specialized skill that is easily taught and readily learned and yet this business is often ignored.   Oh, some people might look into it a little bit, and usually get frustrated with the terminology or the fact that it may take a bit of learning, time and practice to get good.  But once you got it, baby, you become a money making machine.  A goose that lays golden eggs, yet few people will take the time to learn this relatively easy skill.

In my opinion, most people know more about their lawn than they do their money, and this recession is eating away the money they have.

It doesn't have to be that way.  I just don't understand

    It is not unusual to hear individuals ask about trading the "high probability" gap trades. It seems that there is a perception (by some traders) that e-mini gap trading falls into the sure-fire trade class of trades. Note: I have yet to locate a sure-fire trade in several decades of trading.

    I've been writing some about trend lines lately and noted my observation, in several of the articles, of the declining use of this valuable charting tool. I don't have any illusions that a couple of articles by a relatively unknown author will have any effect on the use of these lines; but if just a couple of traders see the value of trending lines and e-mini trading, then I suppose I have done my job.

    I like trading indicators that help me understand e-mini trading in real time. I can think of no better real time trading experience than watching price action move toward a known area of support/resistance (SAR) and evaluating what the possible outcomes may be when price collides with support lines or resistance lines.

    Given a choice of just one e-mini trading indicator/chart pattern I would select, hands down, support and resistance. In my little world of trading, support and resistance (SAR) reign supreme.

    Trend breakouts and breakout volume share two important factors (among a list of other important variables) in shaping the likelihood of a successful trend breakout or breakdown. For obvious reasons, volume in a specific direction is a key ingredient in a successful trade.
