Jobs are getting harder to find. (It’s true)

Dear Traders,

I saw a chart this morning that honestly made me pause.

More Americans are saying jobs are getting harder to find, and fewer people expect their income to increase.
 

This is what fear looks like before it shows up on the news as massive layoffs. And people who are watching the markets every day can see it too.

The prices of gold and silver have been ripping at a pace that we have never seen before historically. The US dollar has been fading. That is usually what happens when banks and large institutions stop feeling confident about the future.

On top of that, we just had the FOMC today with no rate cut. Whether you agree with the Fed or not, the message to the market is clear. Stress is not gone. The labor market is not magically getting stronger. And inflation is still part of the conversation.

Whenever there is a real downturn, it is usually the middle class that gets hit the hardest. Especially white collar workers who thought their job was stable. When the layoffs come, they come fast.

Middle-income earners were hit hard by the Great Recession in 2008.
History does not always repeat, but it rhymes.

And the worst time to start learning a new skill is when you are desperate.

That is why I keep saying this in my livestreams, YouTube videos and newsletters.

Do not rely on one income source. Do not wait until the crisis hits.

If you are reading this, you have time and options to explore now. If trading is something that you always want to pursue but have yet taken it seriously, take action now while you are calm and thinking clearly.

Trading is one of the few skills in the world that can give you flexibility.

But I need to say this clearly. Trading is not a lottery ticket. It is not a get rich quick plan. It is a business, or a high-income profession. Like any high-income jobs, you need to build up a routine, a competitive edge, and earn your confidence through reps, risk management, and a real process.

The people who get desperate and start trading because they need money, often fail terribly. In contrast, the ones who have stayed consistent, will be prepared when the markets turn around, giving traders life-changing opportunities to capture.

A message from a BBT member’s wife. I will attach the full screenshot at the end of this newsletter for anyone who wants to read.
I got a message this week that reminded me why I started Bear Bull Traders community 10 years ago in 2016.

A wife of one of our traders reached out to me privately. She told me her husband has been studying with Bear Bull Traders for the last four years, and that the discipline and risk management he learned helped him finally reach consistency.

Then she said something that hit me: Her husband was able to reduce his working hours to part time, and it changed their family’s quality of life.

Unlike other trading influencers, I don’t like to promote that I have millionaire students. Those big results don’t motivate me. But if our community and education helped a family, that’s the success that I am very proud of.

If you want to take trading seriously, here is what I recommend.

Stop wasting your money and time on inconsistent gambles. Join our community where we have structured education for you, and lead by examples as me and our top traders live stream our trading every morning in real-time.

You can only make a real change to your life if you take action and invest in your future. Give yourself 12 months to commit to something that you are passionate about.

I am saying this as a friend: Waiting on the sideline feels safe, until it is not.
