Hey traders, I just read a piece on what separates high achievers from everyone else. The punchline? It isn’t IQ… It isn’t money. It comes down to two things: passion and perseverance. That tracks with everything I’ve seen in four decades of trading. Passion: You’ve Got to Want the Work Passion isn’t hype. It’s showing […]

Hey traders, I’ve been talking a lot about my Triple Crown of income trading lately. And that’s because I think a lot of traders get distracted with flashy strategies and rare triple digit gains. When in reality real wealth is built consistently over time. Of of the parts of the Triple Crown strategy is selling […]

Hey traders, For months I’’’ve heard the same drumbeat: “Big drop coming. Any day now.” Meanwhile… the market keeps walking higher, pulling back, then grinding again. And last week the Fed cut rates — which, nine times out of ten, is taken as bullish. Cue another round of headlines, commentary, and scary thumbnails. Here’s my […]

Hey traders, A while back, I was sitting out in front of my cabin in the Smoky Mountains, coffee in hand, when out of the corner of my eye I caught movement. A black bear. Not off in the distance — I’m talking maybe ten feet away. Big, quiet, and close enough that I could […]

Hey traders, A couple of days ago I showed you why I love selling puts on strong stocks — and how I’d rather get paid up front to take a position I don’t mind owning than sit around hoping a chart goes my way. Well, it turns out I’m in good company. People love to […]

Hey Traders, The S&P 500 (SPY) hit another new high today. If you’ve been in the market, you’ve been making money. Period. But I got to tell you — I got a call from a buddy this morning who wasn’t too happy. He’s one of those guys who calls when the market’s on a tear… […]

Hey traders, I’ve been in this game a long time. And if there’s one thing I’ve seen over and over again, it’s this: Traders talk themselves out of winning trades. “Too Much, Too Fast” — Or Just a Bull Market? Let’s be real here… Markets have been on a tear. Since the beginning of April […]

Some of these guys are so competitive I find them hard to be around. When I fish with friends it doesn’t matter to me who catches the most or the biggest fish. But there are rare times when it does matter. Like when you are fishing with your normal friends and a friend of one […]
