Financial Freedom Friday is for people serious about financial freedom. Every Friday I share what 28+ years of trading taught me. My mistakes. My systems. The lessons that got me out of Corp IT by 40. Learn from someone already doing it.
Much like the weather in Florida... The market went from a hurricane to a sunny beach day in less than 10 trading days! On March 31st I dropped this in Good Kids Trading discord:
Well. Here we are... How are you feeling? I didn't expect us to make new all time highs in 13 trading days... BUT that's the whole point. No one really knows what's going to happen: no matter how smart or how confident they sound.
The market threw every concern to the side and rampaged higher in less than 2 weeks! Usually it's stair-step up, elevator down.
This time? Stair step down, elevator up.
Great news if you were buying. Painful if you were frozen.
So... Did you buy low? Or are you one of the people wishing you had?
Here's what I see over and over. People don't buy low and sell high. They do the opposite. They buy when everything feels safe like right now (which is usually the top) and they freeze (or sell) when everything feels scary (which is usually the bottom).
This week I sold my NFLX and SBUX.
selling a big winner before earnings
buying off the daily 200sma, selling right at resistance!
Why did I sell these two? Well, first of all, I bought them lower.. It wasn't fun, but that's the point. Trading isn't about emotions it's about mechanics. They rampaged higher and I was up thousands per 100 shares. Did I sell at the top? No clue. Maybe... But like our admin Eric always says: "You can't go broke taking profits."
If you're sitting there thinking "I can't believe I missed it..." I get it. But now is NOT the time to buy. Now is the time to get ready for the next pullback. Because it's coming. It always does.
Buy low. NOT buy high.
This thought to buy right now is why I put together two free mini-courses (link is below). They teach the same strategies I've used to clean up hundreds of portfolios and build one that actually pays me. No fluff. No pitch to some overpriced program that takes your money and teaches you nothing.
