The History of taxes and the power of corporations

The reality is that the rich are not taxed. It's the middle class, especially the educated upper-income middle class, who pays for the poor.

Every time people try to punish the rich, the rich don't simply comply. They react. They have the money,power, and intent to change things.

If you work for money, you give the power to your employer. If money works for you, you keep the power and control it.

Knowledge is power. And with money comes great power that requires the right knowledge to keep it and make it multiply without that knowledge, the world pushes you around.

"Be smart and you won't be pushed around as much."
"If you know you're right, you're not afraid of fighting back."

Each dollar in my asset column was a great employee, working harad to make more employees and buy the boss a new porsche.

Financial IQ is made up of knowledge from four broad areas of expertise:
1.Accounting is financial literacy or the ability to read numbers. Financial literacy is the ability to read and understand financial statements which allows you to identify the strengths and weaknesses of any business.

2.Investing - This involves strategies and formulas that use the creative right-brain side.

3.Understanding markets is the science of supply and demand. You need to know the technical aspects of the market which are emotion - driven, in addition to the fundamental or economic aspects of an investment.

4.The law - A person who understands the tax advantages and protections provided by a corporation can get rich so much faster than someone who is an employee or a small business sole proprietor.

CAN A FIRM ALWAYS SPOT THE NEXT GREAT TRADER?

 No. But a prop firm can tell who has a poor chance to become a CPT. To be good at anything will take everything you have. Not having developed the skills to work hard is a turn-off. Trading is a skill learned by doing, not just by reading a lot, theorizing, or the faux art of “paper trading.” THE PROS AND CONS OF RECRUITING EXPERIENCED TRADERS Loyalty is a good thing to a point, but it cannot trump logistics and reality. losing money should really bother you. If I am negative three days in a row, I spend a long evening on my couch with a bottle of red wine and comfort food. As traders, we can all recite the memorable line from Wall Street: “A man looks in the abyss, there is nothing staring back at him. At that moment he discovers his character. That keeps the man out of the abyss.”  Traders don’t talk about how they want to trade, what they want to read about trading, or how they wish they could talk about trading. Traders trade, read about trading, and talk about trading.

Reading the Tape

 Dr. Steenbarger, aka the godfather of modern trading psychology, wrote: “My experience is that an understanding of (and ability to read) order flow is one important factor that separates the older, successful generation of day traders from the newbies who only know simple chart patterns and indicator readings.” continue working on the skill of reading the tape and to sell the stock on the offer when the tape showed weakness. “Reading the tape must be learned through personal experience and long observation.” keep in mind that nothing can top experience. Don’t give up. It is not always this easy to Read the Tape. But there are plays where it really is simple. And reading the tape will offer pattern recognition plays that you can exploit. Overcoming a Confirmation Bias We all fight confirmation bias. But it will harm our performance if we do not overcome it. Let the tape talk to you. And use online vehicles like StockTwits and your peers sitting next to you to gain second ...
 All great leaders in every walk of life are highly sexed, but they follow the habit of controlling their sex desires, switching them into a driving force behind their occupation. The person who has self discipline understands the emotion of sex, respects it, and learns to control and transmute it into contructive activities. Q: Just what damage is there in over-indulgence of sex? A: The greatest damage is that it depletes the source of man's greatest driving force, and wastes, without adequate compensation, man's creative energy. Controlled sex supplies the magnetic force that attracts people to one another. It is the most important factor of a pleasing personality. It gives quality to the tone of voice and enables one to convey through the voice any feeling desired. It serves, as nothing else can serve, to give motive power to one's desires. It keeps the nervous system changed with the energy needed to carry on the work of maintaining the body. It sharpens the imagination...
