Eze Kingsley Explains Why He Stopped Posting Profits
Nigerian forex trader and Trustinux founder Eze Kingsley Ohaji says he has not shared MetaTrader screenshots or profit posts this year because he is focused on managing investor funds.
He believes trading is about protecting capital and making smart decisions, not showing profits on social media. His comments have sparked discussion in the trading community.
I’ve always traded with my phone and iPad, but lately I’ve been considering getting a proper large-screen trading setup 💻
For traders who already use one, does the extra screen space actually improve your analysis and productivity compared to trading with just a laptop or a mobile phone?
I’m curious to hear from people who’ve experienced both🫠
When Hitler invaded Poland, John Templeton borrowed money and told his broker to buy $100 of every stock trading below $1.
There were 104 of them.
The broker called back with a problem: 37 were already bankrupt.
Templeton told him to buy those too.
He believed that if America entered a major war, even companies considered nearly worthless could return to production. One of the positions was Missouri Pacific preferred stock. It had fallen from $7 to 12 cents and had not paid a dividend in years.
Templeton bought roughly 800 shares for $100.
When the position reached 40 times his purchase price, he sold. The stock later climbed to $105.
That trade became an early version of the philosophy behind the Templeton Growth Fund, where $10,000 invested at its 1954 launch reportedly grew to roughly $2 million by the time he sold the business in 1992.
In this rare Charlie Rose interview, Templeton explains that bargains do not appear because the market calmly calculates fair value. They appear because frightened owners are desperate to sell.
His job was to determine whether the pessimism had pushed the price below what the business could eventually earn.
He compared earnings, growth, dividends, book value, and competitors. If similar companies traded at 25 times earnings while one credible business traded at five, that was where the research began.
Templeton became a billionaire by buying assets other investors were emotionally unable to hold.
This interview explains the arithmetic beneath the contrarian mythology.
I genuinely don’t believe anybody makes $10k+ a month trading.
Everyone claims they’re printing.
But nobody shows CONSISTENT proof.
If you actually do it, please prove me wrong.
I’ll wait…
Don’t trade for the money.
This is the best tip I’ve ever received.
If you trade for the process, the money will come.
If you trade for the money, you’ll blow up chasing more.
