    During my 40 years trading none of my success came from picking a bottom right at the low. The low happens on one day, the bull market last for years. The big money is made spotting trends not bottoms.

    -- 40-years ago when I told my family and friends I was going to be a stock trader, I was told all the reasons why I shouldn’t and couldn’t. It’s gambling, it’s not a real job, they said. -- When I made my first million dollars, I was told I was lucky. -- When I won the 1997 U.S.

    The big turning point in my trading came when I made a decision and vowed to NEVER EVER let a loss exceed 8%. During the next 5 years I averaged 220% per year for a total compounded return of 33,500%. It's been 28 years since and I have never broken that discipline not even once!

    My 6 key trading rules 1. Wait in cash for proper setups. How long? As long as it takes! 2. Always trade with a stop loss; keep all losses small 3. Never get bold when running cold 4. Nail down decent profits 5. Never let a good size gain turn into a loss 6. Never add to losers

    While my gut says we are getting close to a bottom, experience tells me to stick to the rules and let the weight of evidence guide my trading. A low happens on one day, the bull market last for years. The big money is made spotting trends not bottoms. The current trend is down.

    Halting activity on stocks like $GME to stop the bleeding for the shorts is ridiculous. The hedge funds are big boys; they made a bet and now should pay the consequences of making the wrong decision. They are pros, they don't need to be protected.

    You may agree with Twitter banning Trump's tweets, but it's a slippery slope towards China type selective sensorship and in direct conflict with the fundamental principle that makes the U.S. great. I MAY NOT LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, BUT I WILL FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO SAY IT.

    I can promise you that if you become really great at reading charts and managing risk, money will follow. But if your goal is just money, you won't outlast the learning curve. The key is to fall in love with the journey, not the money. Perfect the process and success will follow.
