“Amateur stock picking is a dying art, like pie baking, which is losing out to packaged goods. A vast army of mutual fund managers is paid handsomely to do for portfolios what Sara Lee did for cakes."
Peter Lynch
I’m sure you’ll agree that this is an astonishing statistic.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE PART OF THE 90%
There are just three things which separate the vast majority of losers from the small minority of winners.
-
The winners have learned the simple process of analyzing stocks: Think about it, would you consider buying a used car without first taking it for a test drive? Of course not. Something that silly would never even occur to you. It is during the test drive that you analyze the condition of the car and yet millions of people buy used stocks every day without having any understanding of the condition of that stock. Winners don't gamble the possibility, they invest in the probability.
-
The winners specialize: Consider this. Let’s suppose you decide you want to pursue a career in the medical profession. Can you realistically expect to have a successful career unless you get more specific and specialize? Of course not. You need to decide; do I want to be research scientist, an oncologist, a cardiologist, a pediatrician, an optometrist, or a medical records secretary. The small majority of stock market winners understand that in order to consistently beat the market it is only necessary to learn how to do one thing, but become an expert at it.
-
The winners enjoyed at some point the benefits of someone who functioned as an investment guide, or an investment coach or mentor: Would you try to make your way across the Amazon Basin or traverse the Himalayas without a guide? Not unless you were crazy. If you aspired to become a champion athlete would you work with a coach? Of course you would. Why? Because you save time, avoid mistakes and quickly develop the necessary skills. In the stock market mistakes are costly and careless mistakes can be terminal.
ARE YOU SERIOUS? OR ARE YOU PROCRASTINATING?
If you are serious;
SLOW DOWN!!
Take your time and look around. Hey, you’re here anyway and after all the journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step right?

Let’s face it: when it comes to investing, nobody cares about your money more than you do. Not your broker, not your mutual fund manager, not the editor of some stock market newsletter. What if you had the tools to pick stocks like a pro and consistently outperform the market indexes?
Conventional wisdom would have you believe that the idea of an individual investor being able to beat the stock market on a regular basis is nothing short of heresy. If so, Confident Trader™ members are a merry band of heretics skipping gleefully all the way to the bank.
With Confident Trader™, you can learn how to filter the Wall Street static and reap dramatic returns by thinking for yourself. You’ll discover how to quickly analyze stocks, consistently outperform the markets on your own, and achieve financial independence.

Outstanding investment results are a matter of picking the right stock, buying it at the right time, and then systematically taking profits. As a Confident Trader™ member you are never on your own. We trade the portfolio together. If you like, you can earn as you learn in real time.
In just the past two years both new and more seasoned Confident Trader™ members have banked exciting returns like:
- 95% on a commercial printing company,
- 174% with a European alternative energy producer,
- 357% from a medical information technology company,
- 569% on a small oil and gas exploration stock, and
- Over 1000% with a sporting goods manufacturer.
The strategy that Confident Trader™ members learn to execute with such impressive results has been proven effective for more than 100 years, and has enabled people like T. Rowe Price, John Templeton, Jesse Livermore, and thousands of others to create fortunes large and small. Now with the array of resources available online, anyone with a modicum of discipline, determination, and time can achieve similar results.
“To identify profitable stocks requires only what my grandfather called gumption, my father called horse sense, and what most call common sense.”

Think about it. You don’t have to become a professional analyst. You don’t have to stay glued to your computer all day. And you don’t have to make trading an avocation. Instead with our step by step, time tested method you will soon discover how to recognize stocks with the potential for massive gains almost from the instant you see them!
“Money is a good thing to have. It frees you from doing things you dislike. Since I dislike doing nearly everything money is handy.”
Groucho Marx
When Warren Buffett, T. Rowe Price, and John Templeton began investing in securities they had several things in common:
-
They had very little money to work with. (Warren Buffetts’ first investment was three shares of Cities Service stock at $38/share, Templeton borrowed his initial stake.)
-
They recognized that the greatest opportunities were in places that most people would never think to look.
-
They understood that outstanding returns required holding the securities long enough for their money to get cozy with the opportunity they perceived as well as the companies expertise and resources. It takes time for the four to get to know each other, make plans, and execute them.
-
They specialized. All three quickly learned that the stock market was far too large for scattershot investments. (Today the securities of roughly 10,000 companies are traded on the U.S. stock exchanges alone.) They wisely chose to focus their attention and investments on a single segment of the stock market.
I have been investing for 27 years. (My initial stake was a modest inheritance from my grandfather.) For twelve of those years I was actively employed in the financial services industry. I have never known anyone to consistently outperform the broad market indexes without specializing in some manner. Some concentrate in bio-tech stocks, some in penny stocks. Some limit their investments to the securities of the leading stocks in the top industries. Others trade only breakouts, concentrating on short-term gains. Many prefer the natural resources sector or emerging markets. Some specialize in large-cap growth stocks or mid-cap value stocks. The possibilities are endless. Somehow you need to narrow it down and become an expert in a specific market niche.
“In the Olympics you can win a gold medal if you run the 100 meters faster than anyone else. You don’t have to throw the shot put as well.”
Many people get themselves into serious trouble by trying to adopt a strategy for which they are ill suited either by experience or temperament. Usually the inducement is the lure of instant gratification, and this results in people becoming bedazzled by short-term trading strategies. It’s understandable. The promise of quick bucks and lots of action can be seductive. Be dazzled if you must, but also be forewarned.
Short term trading is the playground of the big boys. These guys frequently have decades of experience, are highly sophisticated and extraordinarily intuitive traders. They are also able to bring considerable resources to bear. The likelihood of an inexperienced investor walking away from any short term strategies with more than a few shekels clinking in his trading account is virtually nil. You’d be better off pulling $10,000 out of your IRA, taking it to Vegas and entering The World Series of Poker.
“A man’s got to know his limitations”
