New Spin on an Old Stock Market Secret Most Americans are painfully aware that our representatives in DC get filthy stinkin’ rich in the stock market. But what 99% of investors don’t know is that there’s a weird stock signal that’s given everyday Americans the shot at annual gains as much as TEN TIMES BIGGER than Nancy Pelosi’s… [Click here now for the inside scoop on how you can begin building your own Pelosi-beating portfolio…]() WORDS TO TRADE BY "Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks." - Warren Buffett Sometimes, what appears to be a good trade turns bad and ends up costing you money. While we all want to avoid such transactions, there's no such thing as a perfect trading record. You can't control the market, but you can control how you react to a bad trade. One of the most important things to remember is don't get stuck in a trade that's turned against you! Digging your hole deeper will only hurt your bottom line. The point of trading is to grow your wealth, not throw it away on a trade that's not going to rebound. Take the time to analyze your situation and cut your losses if needed. There's no shame in jumping out of a trade once you know the odds are stacked against you. Get out, reassess and use the experience as a way to improve your strategy. Don't try to patch a sinking ship! [image] Josh Martinez P.S.

These results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight.
