Haha…Ed had me laughing on the Caterpillar not ready to be a butterfly yet! 😂
FYI I retired with a IRA of 500k. I pay myself 5k per month, 60k per year. After 7 years into retirement my IRA balance is still 500k and I still get paid 60k per year. Good luck to you!
How did you manage to achieve that level of growth? I’ve been doing everything I can to improve my investments. I want to retire in a few years and need better diversification.
I’ve been following Kathy Lien . for a while, what stands out is how clearly she explains investing. No hype, no pressure-just real guidance that helps people think long term and make smarter decisions
Yes I know Kathy Lien . She’s honestly one of the smartest and most supportive mentor I’ve ever learned from. Her mindset and the way she explains things really helped me a lot
Wow. I’m a bit perplexed seeing Kathy. being mentioned here also. Didn’t know she have been good to so many people, not just me and my friends I can only expect more
You sponsored video won’t let me see your video
So, sometimes, with some stocks, you have to be in BEFORE the move, against the technicals show it
Thank you guys- good overall look on the moves from the market today.
Hit $500K after years of discipline. This isn’t just about money-it’s about transformation: from nothing to stability, from mistakes to wisdom, and now a family that understands how to keep wealth alive for generations. That’s the truth…Trading advice for anyone new to stock: try not to focus too much on the 1-minute charts. When I first started trading, I made the mistake of reacting to every small price movement, and it cost me a lot of money. Constantly watching the smallest timeframes can create unnecessary stress and lead to impulsive decisions.
I wish I saw this an hour ago… just got liquidated on a scalp because I thought a breakout was happening. It’s so frustrating feeling like the market is moving against you personally.
Congratulations on your wins, Please can you share with me how it works. I have suffered huge losses trading as a beginner, I thought I could trade on my own, my partner and I have been thinking of our retirement lately.
I’ve been there. The market isn’t against you, you’re just looking at the noise. You have to learn to see where the big money is actually stepping in. It took me a long time to unlearn the bad habits.
You sound like you actually know what you’re talking about. Did you teach yourself or did you have someone show you the ropes? I need that kind of simplicity
Honestly, I struggled for a year until I found a mentor who actually simplified things. It was a total lifesaver for me since I don’t have a finance background. I can finally see the patterns clearly now, Alisson Ayn Meyer is my mentor.
