Today on the show I'm talking to my lifelong buddy, Dr. Myron Golden, about cultivating abundance.  One way to understand how we cultivate abundance is by looking at how we shouldn't do it. To understand this, we can look at the first temptation in history–the temptation to focus on lack. Let's dive into what we can learn about cultivating more abundance in our lives today by learning what NOT to...

"You will have many voices that will try to derail you, but you have to be firm and you have to know why you're in business. Why are you in business? Is it money? Buying a bigger house, a better car? Is that it? Or is there a greater purpose? And if you know what that greater purpose is, then you are responsible to God to fulfill that purpose." Anne Beiler Welcome to SEASON 4 of the podcast! I can...

When I launched TRADEway back in the early 2000's, I introduced twenty-one strategies for short-term stock trading.    Now TRADEway has dozens more than that available to our clients.    You might be wondering, 'How can you even master that many strategies?'    You learn them one by one, little by little, line by line. It's not something you do overnight.    It's a journey!   And we have a system...

You might think that bear markets and bull markets just sort of happen because of supply and demand and different issues going on in our country and around the world.  But in reality… The Fed (The Federal Reserve of the United States) causes it.  Let's dive into how this all works. The Fed causes big up and down moves in the market. And if you can learn to recognize what the Fed is thinking, what...

Here at TRADEway we teach over 40 patterns that stocks make. Now, I don't recommend trying to learn all those at once.  Don't even try! Instead, focus on learning just a few new strategies, start making money with those first, and then expand out into other, more advanced strategies. Today we're going to talk about two patterns that might be new to you: The flag pattern The stair step pattern  We'...

In order to know when to actually place a trade, I think there are 3 steps:  See & Chart a Pattern - Memorize the best recognizable patterns that stocks make, and the perfect buy point for each pattern. Check the Market Tone - Know when the market tone is right for your particular trade. Check the Fundamentals - Make sure the fundamentals of a stock give it a reason to go up or down. Each pattern...

If someone asks me, "Can you tell the future," my answer is "Not all the time."  When you're learning how to trade stocks, essentially what you're learning is how to predict what will happen in the future– some of the time.  As stock traders we're in the business of future speculation. We look at what's happening now, and we make educated predictions about what will happen next.  Stocks make patte...

I can remember when I was in the MBA program at Baylor, a professor gave us quite a few articles to read.  These articles seemingly proved mathematically that a chart will not predict the future.  So according to these authors, if you chart the price points of the stock going up and down, it will not predict the future . Well, as a young man I sort of doubted whether that was true.  That's because...

In The Parable of the Vineyard Laborers, the landowner goes out and hires some people early in the morning. He tells them he'll give them a day's wage. They agree to that and shake hands. Then later in the day he hires some more people.  And still later, when there was only about an hour of daylight left, he hired another group of people to work in the vineyard. At the end of the day he paid them...

In the Book of Acts, the early Christians sold lands that they owned and gave that to other Christians who were in need.  That sounds a little bit like socialism, doesn't it?  On the other hand, in the Parable of the Talents, the man is rewarded for being enterprising or capitalistic.  So which one does the Bible promote–socialism or capitalism? And how can we apply this to our own personal financ...

To reach your greatest potential, no matter what your field, you've got to think like an entrepreneur. But most of us don't do that. Why? The problem is that our country's educational system is teaching us that the best thing is to go out and get a degree and go work for a boss.  But if we look at the Bible, it says something different. The Bible says that a job, or a wage, is a good thing if we'r...

Although our show is all about trading and finance, today's topic is about a much bigger picture.

Right now we've got a volatile market, high inflation, and the Fed's ramping up the interest rates. So this is the perfect time to talk to you about keys to success in a bearish market.  The fact is, right now it's just a difficult market to trade in for the average person. When you have the right skill sets, though, it's a whole different ball game. When you have the right skill sets, you'll be a...

When you first get interested in stock trading, you might find friends and family coming out of the woodwork to give you advice. Some of it's good, but most of it's bad! That's because trading does not work like the world tells you it works. So what IS good advice for a beginning stock trader? That's what we're going to cover in todays' episode. In this episode I'll cover Why I recommend keeping i...

Did you know that God will always bring some tribulation and trouble to a new entrepreneur before He brings a great amount of success? Your patience will be tested before the Lord grants you the privilege of being a steward of a lot of his money.  The Bible assures us of this.  If you embrace this and understand it, God may well turn you into an entrepreneur. Living it gives you the potential to b...

"The sittin' and the waitin' is important. You have to sit and wait for all factors to come together to merge into the perfect play." -Jesse Livermore One of the most important traits of a great trader is patience.  You have to know how to sit on your hands and wait. It takes patience to not be in the market all the time. It takes patience to wait for a great play. And if you don't have the patien...

One of the great keys to successful trading is "playing the math." This means you have a SMALL expense if your trades go the wrong way and you have to stop it out. And you have a LARGE win when it goes your way. Now this is the important part–you do NOT want to win small.  You've gotta win BIG. And by that I mean you need to let the stock go all the way to your sell point before you jump out of it...

Did you know that the amount of wealth that you have the potential to create for you and your family is directly proportional to the amount of educated risk you are willing to take? If you're afraid of losing money in the stock market, you're not alone. But have you ever thought about WHY it scares you? Have you ever questioned whether that makes logical sense? The thing is, the American school sy...

How's that for a deal? In this episode I'll cover… What I tell the students I personally coach about trading Why you shouldn't trade with a trading partner call...

A lot of people think they can get up in the morning, get on the internet, place a trade, run off to work and live happily ever after. But guess what? That's not going to work.  To make money in the stock market, you need real knowledge about stock patterns and how to use them to place your trades strategically. Next you need to learn what good buy and sell points are for the various stock pattern...

"Through wisdom is a house built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge shall thy chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches." Proverbs 24:3-4  Does having wealth make you evil? So many preachers have been teaching Christians through the years that…  Jesus taught that we are supposed to be poor That if you're poor, you're spiritual That if you're seeking wealth you're...

Today I want to talk to you about tried and true stock patterns, and which ones still work!  When it comes to stock patterns, it's easy to go out and buy books filled with pages of patterns that date back all the way to the early 1900's. The problem with these books is that a lot of those patterns don't work anymore.  Why don't they work? Surely if these patterns are in a well-reviewed book it wou...

It's easy now-a-days for people with no experience in trading to open a brokerage account and just jump in, buy a few shares, and then go about their day. There is a reason the first hour the market is open is called amateur hour… it's because of this very reason!  All of the amateurs who heard a "hot tip" or read an article about a great company are jumping into the market with very little skills...
