On Thursday, April 23, 2020, at around 4:15 pm ET, my phone rang and I saw a California number on it. I picked up the phone, thinking that maybe one of my family members who lives in the state was calling me. No, it was the friend of a friend. My friend, who lives in LA, had introduced us a few night ago, because this person wanted to get some trade ideas from me. He has...

Dear traders, I hope you and your family are doing well in these uncertain times. Many of you might have experienced a bear market in the past (2009 or 2000 come to mind), but this is the first bear market of my trading career. These are certainly unprecedented days: a bear market, a pandemic, self-isolation and negative oil prices. Are you ready to see what the rest of 2020 has to offer? This week's Success webinar is...

Dear traders,I hope you are doing well in these self-isolation times. More and more better news is coming forward and it seems some European countries are now gradually relaxing their constraints on business. We hope to slowly see an expansion in both economic and social activities. For some time still, our life may not be the same as it once was, but I’m sure you’ll agree that it will definitely be an improvement over isolation.Today,...

Dear traders, I trust you and your family are doing well during these uncertain times.

Each day I see in the news stories of people coming together to help each other be safe and healthy. I’m sure you come across these kinds...

The entire financial market, including the stock market, is being impacted by a novel coronavirus called COVID-19. How did it happen and what does it mean for us traders and investors? In 2015, a combination of FDA scientists as well as American and European scholars, in addition to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Wuhan, China warned in the highly respected journal, Nature Medicine, about the emergence of a severe acute respiratory...

Dear traders, Please accept my sincere apologies for not trading this week. As the U.S. market opens at 3:30am here in New Zealand, it is very hard for me to trade. Originally I planned to wake up at 3am, trade until 5am, then go for a run and hike. But except for one day, I have not been able to wake up this early. I am simply too exhausted to trade during those hours. Last week,...

Dear traders, I’m not sure if you saw me trading Monday morning in the chat, but as you may know I will be in New Zealand this week, where the market opens at 3:30am. Last night I was jet lagged and did not sleep well. I woke up late, around 3:15am, jumped behind my PC and started trading literally without even washing my face. There was no routine, no watchlist, no mental preparation, nothing. You can...
