I want to take a moment to speak directly to my good-hearted followers. I love you, and I truly wish the best for you.
There are two lies you should never let anyone convince you of:
1. “The best opportunities are gone. It’s different this time.”
That’s one of the biggest loads of bullshit ever sold. There are always opportunities. Very little actually changes—only the names of the companies and the players. In fact, it’s never been easier to build wealth in the stock market and in the world at large for those willing to learn, adapt, and execute.
2. “You’re incapable or unworthy.”
That lie is even more destructive. There was a time when success was largely reserved for the blue bloods—yet even then, rags-to-riches stories thrived in America. Today, more than ever, the playing field is leveled and the possibilities are limitless. You are not only capable—if you apply yourself, you are probable. The odds are in your favor, but only if you learn how to play them and stop engaging in self-defeating behavior. It all starts with believing you deserve success and believing you are capable—because you do and you are. But be patient with yourself. Great things and great talent take time to develop.
Bottom line: The past is dead, the future hasn't happened yet. What you do today is what counts. Forgive the past and commit to doing the work necessary. You are here for a good reason. Get to work, and stop listening to those who discourage you. The only people saying "it can't be done" are those who never did it themselves.😇🙏
I've answered this question literally a hundred times, and that's why I will answer it publicly.
The criticism collapses because it ignores basic logic. Success creates credibility—and credibility creates opportunity. That’s how the real world works.
Does anyone seriously buy courses from people who fail in the market? You should be happy that those who succeed on a large scale are willing to share what they’ve learned.
Here’s the irony: when I didn’t teach, I was criticized for “hoarding the secrets” and only helping large institutional clients who were already wealthy. For twelve years, McGraw Hill asked me to write a book. Then, when I decided to share my knowledge with the public, suddenly some suggested my motives were sinister and my track record was irrelevant, because God forbid, I actually got paid for my time and charged what the world was willing to pay. Lol! 🤣What a concept!
What’s truly comical is that some people seem offended that I’m not one-dimensional—that I trade at an elite level and choose to teach, build, and participate fully in capitalism. Apparently, I’m supposed to give everything away for free or “stick to trading.”
Funny how that logic is only applied to me.
If we applied the same standard to people who are far wealthier than I am, then I guess Michael Jordan should give away shoes, Apple should give away iPhones, and billionaires should stop building businesses the moment they achieve a certain level of success.
The most ridiculous part of these comments is that they’re coming from stock traders—people actively trying to profit from capitalism—while talking like socialists. You can’t speculate in free markets, chase asymmetric returns, and then suddenly pretend you’re offended by someone creating value, building a business, and getting paid for it. That’s not principle—that’s hypocrisy.
Is Michael Jordan’s track record somehow invalid because he makes billions selling shoes, hats, and jerseys? Of course not. His success on the court created those opportunities. Is Bill O’Neil discredited because he sold newspapers, charting software, and trading courses? No. Bill changed the investing world and gave access to ideas that were once reserved only for the rich.
That’s what real impact looks like. Results come first. Influence follows. And if it were free, few would appreciates it.
I've done free speaking engagements where people were actually sleeping in the front row. I CAN ASSURE YOUR NO ONE IS SLEEPING AT MY MASTER TRADER PROGRAM WORKSHOP. They pay what it's worth. And because of their commitment, they take it seriously, they are attentive, and in return, they get my commitment.
I’m not successful as a businessman in spite of my trading success—I’m successful because of it. My track record created demand. Demand created opportunity. And I chose to build something meaningful with it. And that has led to a passing of the torch and success all over the world.
I earned my credibility in the market. I built something valuable because people asked for it. And I’ll continue to do exactly that—without apology.
Now my faithful followers will message me and say "why respond to these clowns?" My answer is always the same. Discord is good. The world is collapsing under division. We need to discuss and intelligently talk things out. Make an argument, but make it intelligently and allow for all side to express their views. Then we can learn from each other and make the world a better place.
I don't have the time to do this with every comment. But sometimes I like to share my perspective.
May God bless you all with love in your heart.
😇🙏
Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.
Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.
Human behavior never changes: Investors love stocks when prices are high and rising fast and hate them when prices are low and falling fast. The exact opposite of how they should be feeling if they have a long time horizon and are adding to their investments every paycheck.
Yesterday, markets rallied strongly across the board following the lower than expected CPI data. Headline CPI inflation moderateed, led by falling gasoline prices. Core inflation also slowed, but underlying pressures are still elevated and above the Fed’s target. The report makes further rate hikes unwarranted, but still supports restrictive-for-longer Fed policy.
The small caps led as the Russell 2000 closed higher +5.44% which is the strongest single day in over a year. The Nasdaq and NYSE both had strong accumulation days closing +2.37% & +2.14% on well above average volume.
Breadth was also encouraging as advancers outpaced declining issues by better than 9:1 on the NYSE and greater than 3:1 on the Nasdaq. We also had advancing volume increase by more than 10:1 on the NYSE and nearly 4:1 on the Nasdaq. New 52 highs/lows also started to register the highest reading since the summer, and the percentage of stocks above their respective 50-day moving average surged higher.
The improvement in breadth means that there is the potential for an expansion and proliferation of buyable stocks.
During the past couple of weeks, we've been adding select names. Yesterday had a number of stocks gap through pivot points as the overall market gapped higher. The indexes are getting extended and overbought. Longer term this is a positive. In the short term, we may need to digest the run up.
1/ I have a BIG new story to share with you.
It’s about LEONARD LEO, the man who’s been called the “hidden architect” of the Supreme Court’s conservative majority.
Our investigation goes deeper, and reveals more, than any story about Leo.
It's 🧵 time…
