Why do people make trading so complicated? 🤔

I truly do not understand why people insist on making trading so unnecessarily complicated. It’s fairly simple:

  • Only buy quality stocks
  • Use basic technical chart analysis
  • Be patient

Maybe because it’s not sexy or fast enough for their liking? Maybe because they want 5 screens with 20 charts and flashy indicators and strategies that they need to spend hundreds of dollars on to learn from finance gurus or they don’t feel like they’re truly a trader.

The truth about getting rich is that slow and steady wins the race. Most people trying to get rich quick find that you can get poor even quicker.

Some people say “Oh, you just got lucky with that pick” but luck is just the following formula:

Luck = Preparation + Opportunity

As the saying goes, luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. PREPARE by building a watch list of quality companies. Then when the OPPORTUNITY for a good setup (basic chart analysis) arises you are poised to be “LUCKY.”
