If This Guy Can Trade With His Schedule, So Can You
Â
All the Way From Baghdad,
Iraq
Today in
TradersWire
I had a nice private message conversation with a soldier in Baghdad. Somehow
he manages to make a little time to learn how to day trade. I told him I
appreciated his service to the USA and asked him to say ‘thank you’ to his
buddies from the TM gang. When duty called and he had to go, I thought to
myself: day trading can be really scary, and kicking in doors in Baghdad has
got to be scary—and this guy is doing both! My hat’s off to you,
sir.

Trading Lesson Of The Week
I was watching a segment on CNBC today and just had to record a lesson about
it. Be sure to watch and
listen.

Send Me Your New Year’s
Trading Resolutions
Since we’re coming up to the end of the year,
I thought it might be a good time to see what trading resolutions you might
be thinking about. It’s pretty common to make New Year’s resolutions (and
promptly break them, I know), so why not make some trading resolutions?Â
You might be gearing up for your best year ever–or simply trying to honor
your stops. Whatever your trading resolutions are, send them to me and I’ll
post them in the 12/31commentary (anonymously, of course) so that others can
benefit. Send to:
bricew@tradingmarkets.com. (And sure, if you have some humorous ones,
that’s OK too).
