Why should I listen to anything you have to tell me?
It's a fair question and one that we would expect you to ask of anyone who offers their advice. Over the years, we have had the privilege of working with hundreds of thousands of investors and traders all around the world. The Market Guys have been talking to traders in London, teaching beginner options to students in Taipei and helping investors protect their portfolios in Stockholm. Through all of these experiences, we have observed certain strategies and characteristics that are common to successful traders. We have also observed certain other strategies and characteristics that are common to unsuccessful traders.
We have joined you on the front lines of trading and investing. We did not just read about stocks and options and use that information to build a supposedly better mousetrap. Rather, we have bought and paid for our education through real trades. We know what it feels like to go home with a trade that could ruin your family finances.
We have watched helplessly as the market shut down for want of buyers when we desperately needed to sell. We counseled traders who were placing their last dollar on a high risk speculative trade in the hope that they could possibly escape their failings in the market. Along the way, we realized that we were uniquely positioned to actually help people protect their assets while building wealth. We have a passion to teach and truly make a difference in peoples' lives. If we could help one person preserve a retirement account through a simple risk management strategy, our work has been worthwhile.
