I hope you have all had a great week and were able to keep it green. What a crazy week it was on Wall Street! On Monday and Tuesday, the markets were up and it felt like the new bull rally had begun. By Thursday however, all hell broke loose and the market experienced a […]
To be a successful and competitive athlete, you need to master what Nike calls the 5 facets of training: Movement, Mindfulness, Recovery, Nutrition and Sleep. I really believe that to be successful in any career or endeavor, you need these same 5 facets, albeit with a little bit of tweaking specific to the situation. There […]
I hope you’ve had a great first week of June. If this week has taught us anything, it is that the markets are future looking: they are more concerned with what is about to happen rather than what is happening at the moment. The market had an incredible rally, which was primarily due to the […]
I hope you are all well and have had a green week. This week marked the last trading week in May. Yes! We are officially 5 months into 2020. Whether you had a good month or not, there is an old saying on Wall Street that some of you may have heard before, “Sell in […]
I join with our American traders and friends this Memorial Day weekend in honoring those who sacrificed their lives for all of the freedoms we enjoy today. Regardless of where you call home, whether it is in the United States or elsewhere, I hope you are well, safe, and of course keeping it green going […]
We are seeing a crazy market these days. Airlines are selling off and marijuana companies are ripping higher. The market is telling us this: people do not travel anymore but they do smoke pot! All jokes aside, this week we had an amazing presentation from one of our members, John Hiltz. His talk was entitled: […]
Dear traders: I have a few important announcements to make about our community. The first is concerning tonight’s Success Webinar by our very own Mike Baehr.

On Thursday, April 23, 2020, at around 4:15 pm ET, my phone rang and I saw a California number on it. I picked up the phone, thinking that maybe one of my family members who lives in the state was calling me. No, it was the friend of a friend. My friend, who lives in […]
Dear traders, I hope you and your family are doing well in these uncertain times. Many of you might have experienced a bear market in the past (2009 or 2000 come to mind), but this is the first bear market of my trading career. These are certainly unprecedented days: a bear market, a pandemic, self-isolation […]
Dear traders,I hope you are doing well in these self-isolation times. More and more better news is coming forward and it seems some European countries are now gradually relaxing their constraints on business. We hope to slowly see an expansion in both economic and social activities. For some time still, our life may not be […]
Dear traders, I trust you and your family are doing well during these uncertain times. This unprecedented season is challenging for all of us, but I know with all of my heart that we will pass through them much better if we stay strong and maintain a positive perspective. Each day I see in the […]
The entire financial market, including the stock market, is being impacted by a novel coronavirus called COVID-19. How did it happen and what does it mean for us traders and investors?

Dear traders, Please accept my sincere apologies for not trading this week. As the U.S. market opens at 3:30am here in New Zealand, it is very hard for me to trade. Originally I planned to wake up at 3am, trade until 5am, then go for a run and hike. But except for one day, I […]
Dear traders, I’m not sure if you saw me trading Monday morning in the chat, but as you may know I will be in New Zealand this week, where the market opens at 3:30am. Last night I was jet lagged and did not sleep well. I woke up late, around 3:15am, jumped behind my PC […]
