Hey Traders,
Here we are, starting a brand-new year — 2025.
And I’ve got to ask: Where were you last year at this time?
Were you thinking, “New year, new me!” ?
Maybe you told yourself this would finally be the year you’d learn how to start generating income from the markets.
So… did you take action?
If you did, that’s amazing. I see it in my inbox all the time — stories from folks who’ve learned the ropes, started trading, and are now changing their lives for the better.
But if you didn’t take action, you might be feeling like another year has come and gone, and you’re still in the same spot.
But let me tell you something: You’re not out of chances.
“The Best Time To Plant A Tree…”
You’ve probably heard the saying before:
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
In the same way, the best time to start trading was a year ago, or 10 years ago, or 20 years ago… because you’d be in such a better position.
But guess what? We have to work with what we have.
So if you haven’t started trading yet… the next best time to get started is right now.
Here’s the good news: You don’t need to risk a single dollar to get started.
Open a brokerage account… Most of them have paper trading as part of their platforms.
Start practicing the strategies I’ve been teaching you all year in a paper trading account.
Learn how to find trending stocks. Practice selling covered calls, naked puts, and credit spreads.
You’ll be building not just the skills — but also the confidence you need to trust in the strategies — without putting a single penny at risk!
New Year, New Opportunities
The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to reflect on where you’ve been and where you want to go.
2025 is full of potential. The markets will bring challenges, no doubt, but they’ll also bring opportunities.
This could be the year you finally take the steps to turn trading from a “maybe someday” into a consistent part of your life.
Let this New Year’s Day be your line in the sand. Decide right now that this time next year, you won’t be looking back and wishing you had started earlier.
Don’t Look Back A Year From Now
If you’ve been waiting, ask yourself why.
Are you scared of making mistakes? Guess what — mistakes are part of the process. That’s how we learn.
Do you feel like you don’t know enough yet? That’s what paper trading is for. It’s your training ground, your practice run.
The only way to grow as a trader is to get in there and start.
If you’ve never ridden a bike, you can read all the books you want about riding a bike…
But you’ll never know what it really feels like… until you get on that bike, start pedaling and feel the wind on your face.
Make 2025 Your Year
So as we head into the new year, I want to challenge you:
Make 2025 the year you stop waiting.
Set up that paper trading account. Start following along with the trades and tutorials I share and practice them.
Take action. Because the only difference between where you are now and where you could be this time next year is the actions you take today… and tomorrow… and the next day.
The markets aren’t going anywhere. The opportunities will keep coming. But you’ve got to step up and take that first step.
Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Here’s to a successful, fulfilling, and opportunity-packed 2025.
Trade well,
Jack Carter
