Importance of saving money

There are opportunities on every corner but they exist only for those who have ready money, or who can command money because they have formed the habit of saving.

Generally speaking, this is the attitude that the world takes toward all those who save money.

It often happens that a small savings account of no more that two or three hundred dollars is sufficient to start one on the highway to financial independence.

Love and justice are the real arbiters of all disputes. Give them a chance and you will no longer want to defeat a brother sojourner by the wayside of life.

There may be times when you find that, even having saved money, it is difficult to persuade others to back you, simply because your vision is greater than theirs.

It may seem a cruel fact, but it is a fact nonetheless, that if you have no money, and have not developed the habit of saving, you are out of luck as far as availing yourself of the opportunity to make money is concerned.

It can do no harm to repeat in fact it should be repeated over and over again that the real start of nearly all fortunes, whether great or small, is the formation of the habit of saving money.

Get this basic principle firmly founded in your mind and you will be well on the road toward financial independence!

It is a sad sight to see someone who is well along in years of self sentenced to the wearisome treadmill of hand labor because he or she neglected to form the habit of saving money when they were younger.

The greatest things in life is freedom! but there can be no freedom without a reasonable degree of financial independence.

It is a terrible thing to be compelled to be at a certain place, at a certain task for a certain number of hours every working day of the week, for a whole lifetime. In some ways this is the sane as being in prison since one's choice of action is always limited. It is really no better that being in prison with the privilege of a "trustee" and in some ways it is even worse because the person who is imprisoned has escaped the responsibility of providing themselves a place to sleep, something to eat, and clothes to wear.

The only hope of escape from the lifelong toil which curtains freedom is to form the habit of saving money and then live up to that habit, no matter how much sacrifice it may require. There is no other way out for millions of people, unless you are one of the rare exceptions, This lesson and all these statements of fact are meant for you and apply to you!

Neither a borrower, Nor a lender be; For load oft loses itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all; to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, thou cant not then be false to any man
-Shakespeare

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

TIME

Time is the law of hypnotic  rhythm. The lapse of time required to give permanency to thought habits depends upon the object and the nature of thoughts. Time divides all thought habits into two classes, negative thoughts and positive thoughts. One's individual thoughts are of course constantly changing and being recombined to suit the individual's desires, but thoughts do not change from negative to positive or vice versa except throught voluntary effort on the part of the individual. Time penalizes the individual for all negative thoughts and rewards him for all positive thoughts, according to the nature and purpose of the thoughts. If one's dominating thoughts are negative, time penalizes the individual by building in his mind the habit of negative thinking and then proceeds to solidify this habit into "permanency," of course, refers to the natural life of the individual. In the strict sense of the term, nothing is permanent. Time converts thought habits into wh...

Hypnotic Rhythm

 Any impulse of thought that the mind repeats over and over through the habits form an organized rhythm. Undesirable habits can be broken. They must be broken before they assume the proportions of rhythm. Rhythm is the last stage of habit! Any though or physical movement which is repeated over and over the principle of habit finally reaches the proportion of rhythm. Then the habit cannot be broken because nature takes it over and makes it permanent. It is something like a whirlpool in water. An object may keep floating indefinitely unless it is caught in a whirlpool. Then it is carried round and round but it cannot escape the energy with which people think may be compared with water in a river. Says the devil: "Those who control and use their own minds escape my web." Says the devil: "The time they [people] spend in fearing something would, if reversed, give them all they want in the material world and save them from me after death." If your mind fears poverty, your...
