Quality education has died and so we have forgotten the teachings of the true "geniuses" that came before us
"A society that puts equality—in the sense of equality of outcome—ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom. The use of force to achieve equality
will destroy freedom, and the force, introduced for good purposes, will end up in the hands of people who use it to promote their own interests
On the other hand, a society that puts freedom first will, as a happy by-product, end up with both greater freedom and greater equality
Though a by-product of freedom, greater equality is not an accident. A free society releases the energies and abilities of people to pursue their own objectives. It prevents some people from arbitrarily suppressing others. It does not prevent some people from achieving positions
Of course, there are rules that will help you sharpen things up and rules that will help eliminate some bad entries as well. But, we are doing the simplified look for now
Avoid big losses at all costs. The higher your % loss, the higher the % gain you need to get your money back. A 50% loss you needs a 100% gain to break even
Control Risk
Know your exit criteria before you enter a trade.
Exit as soon as the reason for your entry is not valid anymore
Liquid Assets
Liquid assets are easier to exit. As a matter of fact technical analysis is more reliable w/ highly liquid assets. Large volume makes it much more difficult to manipulate an asset
Buy Strong Assets Short Weak Assets
A strong asset has less overhead resistance & better "flow"
