Trader

At the risk of being overdramatic, we’re on a perilous journey together, you and I.

One false move on my part, and we can both lose…

So, why do I say this? Well, here’s the deal…

I’ve gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience over the last decade — all about wildly succeeding with value investing in the stock market. And I desperately want to give that information to you…

But I need to keep you hooked on reading these “Independent Value Investor” e-mails. If I don’t, then I won’t be able to show you exactly how you can succeed just as I have.

Of course, if I make one slip-up, then I could lose you. I mean, you can unsubscribe at any time with just one click…

And I don’t want to do that — I’m out to change as many lives as possible.

Is that too over the top?

Maybe… I suppose this isn’t life or death.

But it could mean EVERYTHING to your investments, your retirement, or your lifestyle!

So that is the journey we have in front of us. I know that I’ll be there on the other side — I hope that you’ll be there with me…

So, let’s get started…

There are tons of “get rich superfast” methods for investing and trading stocks to make “tons of money”…

And if you’re reading this, then you’re already interested in becoming a better investor, but…

If every one of these systems worked…

And every one of the people who bought them followed the system…

And it worked every time…

Then wouldn’t everybody be rich?

Well, yes… I suppose, but…

Their systems aren’t foolproof…

Many rely on sitting in front of a computer every minute of every trading day…

And many promise fabulous instant returns, only to disappoint or even worse, lose you even more money in the process.

Some people say that regular people can’t beat the stock market…

You should just let the big boys on Wall Street manage your money — they know best, right?

Well, let me say this — I believe it is TOTALLY possible to beat the stock market…

Year in and year out.

So, what’s the secret? It’s not just one secret, but a few important secrets that the most successful value investors know.

And the first one is…

DISCIPLINE

When you learn the ins and outs of value investing, the key thing is to remember is…

You can’t let your emotions change how you invest — you need to stick with your investment plan, and be disciplined!

I know, it sounds easy. I mean, even I have gotten carried away with my emotions…

But I will tell you this from experience… When I let my emotions get in the way of my investing plan, I lost money.

Period.

I’d say that I would be at least 30% richer today if I didn’t go through my “emotional period” (that’s probably a conservative estimate…)

I bought and sold more quickly than I should have…

I picked the right companies, and bought at the right price, BUT…

I wasn’t disciplined enough to stick with my investment plan…

I sold before I should have…

In fact, I sold at a loss, because I second guessed myself…

Only to see these stocks rise in value with me on the sidelines…

This was a very personal and very expensive lesson for me — one that I hope you never experience for yourself…

So, one of the secrets — set your investment plan, and stick with it.

Be disciplined, and you’ll become a fantastic value investor!

If you keep traveling with me on this perilous journey, then in your next issue I will give you another critical secret.

You will be getting that email in a few days. Make sure you open it and read it.

See you tomorrow! Mic
