Someone just asked me if I own any long-term stock positions ⦠The answer is NO. Iâm a [day trader]( and [swing trader]( not an investor. I donât trust long-term holdings in the stock market. This is the all-important distinction Iâd like to talk about today... [Mastering]( trading can be a long and challenging journey. However, now is the best time in history to learn [the art of trading](. Consider this. Just 20 years ago, âopen outcryâ trading was the norm⦠To be a trader, you wouldâve had to move to New York and show up in person on an exchange floor every weekday morning. Then, youâd have to fight tooth and nail to the front of the line, screaming at the top of your lungs, hoping to get your paper orders in before the (taller) guy in front of you. Now, we can all trade in peace from the comfort of our homes, using [the best trading tools on the planet]( like: - [StocksToTrade Breaking News Chat](
- [Oracle Daily Alerts](
- [IRIS AI Swing Trade Analyzer]( And thatâs not the only way [technology]( has made trading more convenient (but more on that later)... There are many reasons why now is the best time in history to be a trader. Letâs break them down⦠Sponsored Wall Street Veteran Predicts #1 Stock to Buy in June One Wall Street veteran is making a huge claim. Thanks to a little-known yet deadly trading strategy⦠He says heâs found a way to [predict the #1 stock to buy in June.]( [Click here for urgent details.]( Online Brokerage Platforms Itâs easy to take our mobile brokerage platforms for granted⦠For many of us, thatâs all we know. From our earliest days trading, we were online. But it wasnât long ago that online trading wasnât even a thing⦠If you wanted to trade pre-2000, you had to a) get a Series 7 license and trade in person or b) execute your trades through a licensed stockbroker. This created a barrier to entry for many would-be traders, insulating the markets from anyone other than seasoned professionals. But with the invention of the personal computer (and then the internet) came a revolution for retail trading⦠No longer were non-licensed traders prevented from speculating. All they had to do was open a brokerage account and with a few clicks of a button, they were trading. And speaking of brokerage platforms, nothing beats [StocksToTrade â Click here to try it FREE for 14 days](. Online trading allowed many people to enter the markets who never wouldâve considered it before. Parents, part-time workers, and even high school students started trading once it was free and available online. Take my good buddy, Tim Sykes, for example⦠He started trading in high school with $12,000 of his Bar Mitzvah money. By the time he graduated college, heâd grown that initial stake to over $2 million (now over [$7.6 million](. But Sykes never wouldâve been able to achieve what he has in the stock market â or even considered it â had online trading not been invented yet. If you wanna learn the stock market skills that made Sykes a millionaire â sign up for his [Trading Challenge](. Access to Information Executing trades isnât the only thing that online trading allows retail traders to do⦠Once brokerage platforms went online, they opened the floodgates of market information and technical analysis. Finally, millions of retail traders had access to the same [charts]( information, and [resources]( that the pros did. Ask yourself this: Before the invention of the internet, how would you have researched information on the stock market? Other than going to the library and reading for hours, or professionally entering the field, you wouldâve been pretty much out of luck. But now, you can know every single piece of public information about a company with a few simple keystrokes. In other words, information technology leveled the trading playing field. Think about the craze in âmeme stocksâ (which is having a huge resurgence right now)... It all started on Redditâs [r/WallStreetBets (WSB)]( message board, which didnât even exist until 2012. Retail traders used the exchange of market information and the power of collaboration on WSB to crack the markets in a way never seen before (or since). But this wouldnât have been possible just ten years ago. Meme stocks are another example of why now is the best time to be a trader. The opportunities are insane. Why 2024 Is A Time for Trading (Not Investing) Volatility is starting to ramp up as we see meme stocks flying, every Fed meeting moving the tape, and an upcoming presidential election. But as traders, we have no reason to panic. Instead, we have a reason to be excited ⦠to take advantage of the volatility. When it comes to big price swings, an index investorâs worst nightmare can be a day traderâs best friend. Itâs all about your outlook, your mindset, and how you approach certain periods of ultra-volatile price action. Imagine being a long-term investor in 2022, holding a huge basket of stocks, powerless to do anything but watch them tumble lower week after week, month after month. That sounds terrible to me, especially when thereâs such a better alternative â trading. When you engage in [short-term trading]( thereâs no need to sweat small % moves in the overall market or major indexes. Pay attention to them, sure, as these moves can lead to [amazing setups]( in individual stocks. But you donât have to let the overall market control the direction of your portfolio the same way a long-term investor does. As a trader, you control your destiny through the power of your near-term decision-making. If you work at developing a consistent strategy, the gains you can potentially make as a trader should outpace any long-term investor by leaps and bounds. And in this market environment, where large-cap stocks are trading with penny stock volatility, and meme stocks are running wild, youâd be a fool to avoid trading entirely. These are just a few of the reasons Iâm proud to be a trader in 2024. Thereâs so much opportunity out there in the markets ⦠all you have to do is take advantage of it. Take the first step towards becoming a successful intraday trader and [Join us in the Daily Income Trader System today]( Have a great day everyone. See you back here tomorrow.
