[@boatthere867]

im watchin all you're free youtube videos first and in two or three months i'll be buying some of your DvD's to learn more. I'm also starting to watch the market but still needing more info before i put money down to trade small cap stocks.

[@Sundance_the_Rapper]

Catch the market every day.

[@stephaniehughes3146]

I joined your VIP program, waiting on my interview while doing the homework and studying. I watched wall street warriors, finished the homework, working on lessons with your traders checklist, watching webinars, watching your KZbin videos, and reading Jamils book, I bought it last Saturday. I am right now, organizing my notes into categories such as: Psycology, watchlists, SSS and indicators, brokers fees and regulations, and tools and terms ect, so that they are easy to look back on and re read. Im reading and learning before I watch webinars because I want to know what's going on within those webinars. Building my TRADING FOUNDATION! I'M INIT!

[@swm122758]

I just turned 60. My plan is to rigorously follow these rules so at 65 I'm in control of my future. I would give an arm or a leg to be in my 20s, 30s or 40s and spend that 5 years to be successful. Think about this guy's. In economies that are rigged... who better to look after your future then yourself?! Run out and get your four-year degree, accumulate massive debt and try to put away 10 or 20% in a savings vehicle... or minimize your cost of Education and dedicate your four years to something that does not fluctuate with the job market or employment rate! And this material does not require a degree to understand! This is as close to a Level Playing Field as you can get. Thanks Tim(s)!

[@jeangrey5911]

you turned 60 and now think of your future? You wasted your life bro, sorry

[@rocket56starr]

@@jeangrey5911 Man, what a short sighted reply. You have no idea what he has accomplished in his life and where that road has led him. I applaud his goal and the willingness to not sit around and wait for someone else to call the shots. His post was inspiring and educational and willing to help others who are looking at other careers with what looks to be more of a dead end. Your comment on the other hand has nothing to offer other than than signal your obvious immaturity which I hope some day will pass. Go get'em swm122758!!

[@MsMoneyHoneyUSA]

@@jeangrey5911 Wow... talk about judgemental. Sometimes, life is not so pristine for some of us and didn't work out as planned despite many attempts otherwise. Instead of trying to kick someone when he/she is down, why not try a bit of encouragement?

Amen Brother!! Gotta start now, I'm only still 27

[@denisekramer8508]

I am 61 (62 in @ 3 weeks) kicking my butt daily on the why's (why didn't I do this in my 20s 30s 40s 50s. I had the money but not the time..now I have the time but not near the money. I absolutely love learning about stocks and all I can do for this first year is just study, study, study learn, learn, learn. So what if I am 81 day trading. .it takes what it takes and I am already seeing how beneficial it is all around...the discipline, controlling your emotions is life changing. Never too old to get this and get that $$.

[@nailcarter1523]

Truth is people would rather gamble then learn.. the is an art to having your money work for u properly, learning the that art in the market takes time and study, more importantly PASSION!!!! Thank you TIM SYkes for at least caring enough to show others the way !!!!!!!!!

[@anon5041]

I listened to this video 10 times + just to drive the message home. The focus of a beginner is not to make profits but to minimize losses and exercise discipline. BEGINNER'S GOAL IS TO MINIMIZE LOSSES, NOT MAKE PROFITS! I can't reinforce that enough.

[@TimothySykesTrader]

Great comment!

[@maxtaylor12]

they're also trying to rationalize losing so you don't leave their program, don't forget that.

[@ravasmathias]

you clearly haven’t tried greg doucette’s content yet haha then you’ll say tim is a calm guy

[@Sundance_the_Rapper]

Thank you Timothy Sykes and Tim Bohen. I do enjoy the repetitiveness as I like to reinforce my own knowledge and to really drill some of the lessons into myself, as well as recognize the things that stick because those are the things that last. I do have a question, what should I rate specific catalysts? Like, earnings winners are great, but sometimes the earnings is not what the market expects. I see things like publicly announced conferences to talk about their 10-k results, even news that say they're going to do just that. I know it's just one catalyst, but it is an important one and I would like to better my understanding with it so I can start to be more proactive instead of reactive (though always maintaining discipline).

[@bikerchick9432]

You guys "R-O-C-K"! I'm actually learning! At first I was SCARED about EVERYTHING! Now I wake up and It's like "Cool, I can go watch the videos". I'm learning to see patterns. I'm learning a new vocabulary (VWAP? What's a VWAP?!?) Thank you for teaching and sharing your vast wealth of knowledge. I really enjoy seeing how each of you bring something new to the table. Thanks so much.

I am reading your blogs. Tried to check my understanding so far today. Got a profit of 23% in a pharma. Entered at 0.76 and exist at 0.99. But it has shot way above that. But yes learning and learning more. I would try to implement the learning.

the key to success is practice practice, practice, practice!!! But first study the correct way to practice. Build the foundation as said by Tim

If any of you guys get the chance to invest in his DVDs I suggest you do. "How to make millions" and "How to read SEC filings" are excellent starters if you are a newbie wanting to know about the world of trading. Take advantage of the knowledge.

[@Powers41]

I have a question i am learning the market trying to lol. Which dvds of tims are the best to learn his strategies and what he uses for his trades , I guess the correct criteria to enter them. And more or less a list of the things he teaches in like step by step format and things explained well. I want them all but money wont allow it yet,

[@TimothySykesTrader]

definitely read my tim.ly/jbook book first!

[@carston914]

I have just started to learn how to trade, or wanting to learn how to trade. When you say paper stocks is a good way to learn, but not the best way. What is the best way to learn?

[@TimothySykesTrader]

the best way to learn is start a real account!

[@BasketballAve]

If you start with a 500 account what should your risk percentage be ? Like your minimum loss on a trade? I just want to practice and not trying to get big gains but just learn to get gains. Thanks for the great insight.

tim said learning the stock market isn't rocket science. It's still difficult to learn, otherwise, the success rate would be higher. Just because you have the natural talent to learn and apply knowledge doesn't mean majority of people can do it.

Hello I’m a young teenager and I want to start to be a stock trader. I have $200. Is that enough to get me started? And what do you think i should start with? Thank you

[@TimothySykesTrader]

Most brokers require $2,000 to start an account. I recommend you start with whatever you're comfortable losing. Learn all you can while you save up! 👍

[@MikeH44]

Join robinhood or webull. Are they the best platform?...no but it has its pros. Its not overly complicated. They will give you warnings or helpful information if you're about to do something stupid. $200 is more than enough. On Robinhood I invested 100 plus the free share you get from signing up. I had $113 to basically lose. You are going to blow through half of that easily with no or lil profit just until you get the hang of it. After I opened it, I "fake" traded with basically monopoly money for 3 months and spent HOURS researching info. After that and I had 8 out of my 10 stocks in the green for the month sorta consistently so decided to make my first move. After a month I was anywhere from my original $113 to at one time $23 then back up to $65. Few small trades and I was setting at around $200. Went from 2 to 400 then 800 back down to 285. I'm now setting at 1,259....up 140 for the week BUT still down 800 for 3 months. Thanks covid. My point in this is that's plenty to get started to lose! Fomo gets me. "The fear of missing out". Many times I should have took my 20 percent and ran happy. Only to take a loss thinking it was going to go up more. Forget all my basic principles when I watched my portfolio go up. Trade small. $1 to 10 stocks. Get your 20 percent return and bounce!!!!!!! Do it over again. Do it again and then that exactly again and by then you'll notice patterns. How the media effects the stocks. How the platform operates and how greedy you can be. You got this! I'm an idiot and I may not be the best but in 4 months I'm setting at 1200, down 800 and only started with $113. That doesn't include when times got tough and I took $40,50,60 out of robinhood to get by. Start small, find a stock down for the day, 2 day get 20, $5 stocks invest 100 of your 200 and when u hit 20% return. Get out! Your portfolio is now 120.....do it again tomorrow. By two, three weeks you'll be around 400.

I will do whatever it takes correctly not to lose my money. Because I am married I have a 2 1/2-year-old daughter.
