The American Dream Is Still Alive: I’m Living Proof

Dear Traders

I want to wish a belated Happy 4th of July to all of our American readers and friends. Every time this holiday comes around, I’m reminded of something powerful: the American Dream is still alive.

I may live in Canada, but I’m living the American Dream.

I came from a country shaped by revolution and war. I wasn’t handed anything. I had to work, study, and grind my way forward. But when I moved to Canada and started trading the U.S. stock market, everything changed. It opened a new chapter in my life, one where the harder I worked, the more opportunities showed up.

The U.S. market, with all its ups and downs, gave me a chance to build something meaningful. And I’m grateful every day for that. Despite how polarizing politics can look from the outside, what I see when I look at America is hope, opportunity, and resilience.

Some of my closest friends are on both sides of the political spectrum, left and right, and I’ve always found deep respect, honesty, and shared values in all corners of this country. To me, America is still one of the most incredible places on Earth, a place where if you’re willing to work, learn, and adapt, there’s a real shot at building the life you want.

On July 3rd, Brian and I had the honor of ringing the Nasdaq Closing Bell, thanks to our amazing partners at DAS Trader Pro, one of the most powerful trading platforms available to retail traders. An unforgettable moment for our community!

A Historic Moment at Nasdaq

Last week, on July 3rd at 1 p.m., Brian and I had the absolute honor of ringing the Nasdaq Closing Bell.

It was a surreal and humbling experience. The Nasdaq Composite QQQ had just hit another remarkable all-time high, and we were there, standing on the floor, representing our community of traders and learners from around the world. This moment wasn’t just for us, it was for all of you who’ve supported us, learned with us, traded with us, and built with us.

You can watch the video here, which even includes a shot of the giant Nasdaq MarketSite screen in Times Square. Seeing that light up in the heart of New York City was an unforgettable moment.

We were invited by our amazing partners at DAS Trader Pro, one of the most powerful trading platforms available to retail traders. DAS has truly transformed my own trading experience, from lightning-fast direct market access to advanced charting tools to fully customizable hotkeys. I’ve used DAS not just for my trades, but also as part of the educational tools we use every day at Bear Bull Traders.

Thank you to DAS Trader Pro for making this opportunity possible. And thank you to all of you for being part of this journey.

Last week, I wrote about how losing my job was the best thing that ever happened to me by moving away from corporate life and starting a new trading life. After my last newsletter, I heard from so many of you who are dealing with job changes, layoffs, and uncertainty.

And I want to tell you again:

Now is the time to choose growth.

That decision will show up in every part of your life:

  • Sleep better.
  • Eat better.
  • Drink less.
  • Exercise more.
  • And most importantly, keep learning.

Learn a new skill. A new language. A new tool. Something that prepares you for a world that’s changing fast.

And yes, learning how the financial markets work is one of the most powerful tools you can have. Wall Street isn’t some distant world anymore; it’s right here on Main Street in 2025. If you’re still thinking, “The markets aren’t for me,” you’re living like it’s 1925, not 2025.

You don’t need to scalp or day trade like I do. But you must understand how markets work. You need to be able to protect your money, invest wisely, and take advantage of opportunities, not run from them.

So, where do you start? Right here with your new family: Bear Bull Traders.

As I wrote above, last week, Brian and I were honored to be at the Nasdaq closing bell ceremony. One of the biggest exchanges in the world, where hundreds of billions (if not trillions) of dollars are traded, and we were right there on the floor. It was a surreal and historic moment.

It reminded me again: this world is constantly moving, constantly evolving.

And your choice is simple: evolve with it, or fall behind.

Let this be the spark. Make the decision to bet on yourself and never stop learning.

You’ve got this.

To your success,

Andrew
