Learning From the Year...

Today I’d like to discuss something I discovered long ago that I do at the end of every year.  This applies to all areas of your life, not just trading, and when I say “long ago”, I’m talking 30+ years I’ve been doing this… …I know I’m getting up there, and I’m reminded of that fact everyday I get out of bed! Anyway, the important lesson I realized was this: I...

    Your absolutely right…I too need to slow down for just a few days and think about the mistakes and lost opportunities of the past…not to sulk but to learn from and move forward. Focus on the right choices and capitalize big time!

    Make 10% a month on credit spreads. Take time off every day. Have more fun. Spend more time with God.

The Past Is Not A Prison...

If someone came up to me and frustratingly admitted, “I’ve lost money for the past 3 months in a row” do you know what I’d say? I’d ask him or her one question: Where is your Focus? Because losing money is never fun. And in the New Economy, it hurts even more. And the only way to stop the cycle of loss and frustration is by shifting to the proper Focus. William James, a 19th...

    Jeff, Thank you for this timely post. I have gotten killed this year with wrong directional trades 9betting on the correction that doesn’t come). My biggest problem is two fold: 1) When to cut and run. i.e. take the loss and get out. 2) Fear – afraid to not be in the directional when the big reversal happens. I’m so sure (wrongly) that the market will tank that I keep making trades based on that. Do I get out of all of those losing trades immediately? What do I do to get back on track? I know you cannot give personal advice but can you broadly comment on this and how to get moving forward again? Please help! Thank you

Beating “Doubt” Into Submiss...

Last night, The Vikings played the Jets on Monday Night Football, and the most memorable part of the game had nothing to do with the score at the end. You know what the most memorable part was? It was a short clip where the announcers ran through all of Brett Favre’s NFL records (for all you non-sports fans out there… he is the Quarterback for the Vikings). They started with...

    Hello Jeff… am very busy watching all the videos, paper trading and studying. Your style of ‘teaching’ is excellent – easy to understand and implement. My BIGGEST trading problem has been not obeying my stops. I am improving in this area because it’s mandatory !!! I was very excited to find your site, because I was looking for specific instructions on how to trade Vertical Credit Spreads. I really believe I’ve found a home! Keep the Coaching and Profit Alerts coming as often as you see fit. Thank you. Julie Reagan P. S. Am looking forward to receiving the ‘All Star Trading Plan’…Will fax my form at the end of Oct.

Must Watch Video from Tony Robbins...

For those of you who are members of my All Star Membership Site… this isn’t new information. This just confirms what we have been talking about for months. If you aren’t a member, I’m curious to know your thoughts…. what are you doing to protect yourself? Members, feel free to add you your thoughts and comments below too. Jeff Share and...

    Great video. Exactly how I’ve felt for months but could’ve not come up with the right words…..Of course Tony Robbins “nails it”. Thank You Jeff!!!

  2. Jeffrey Ziegler says:

    George, You’re welcome. Glad it was helpful. He articulates very well what not just you, but MANY people have felt.

    Have a great day!

    Jeff

  3. Stan Graham says:

    Makes more sense than the money pundits on TV.

  4. Jeffrey Ziegler says:

    Stan – indeed!

  5. Tami says:

    Hey Jeff, This was a great reality check for me, thanks for posting. I hope you’ll follow up on your membership site with a refresher on protective strategies.

  6. Jeffrey Ziegler says:

    Hi Tami,
    You’re welcome :) Glad it was helpful. The message is so important, I think you and I… and every other person reading this… should share this short video with everyone we know (there is a little button called “Share This” and you can send it to others).

    As far as protective strategies go… after watching this video from Tony, I’ve decided I’m going to make a video showing exactly how someone could protect themselves from a sudden catastrophe. Then everyone who watches it can share it on Facebook and email to every friend they have so that no one is in the dark. I made a killing in the first collapse, and I plan on repeat performance if it happens again. Stay tuned…

    Have a great day!
    Jeff

    When you have a wealth of knowledge scattered in your brian sometimes seeing a clear path means using your time given to give. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

  8. Jeffrey Ziegler says:

    Tobe, no problem…

  9. Rebecca Laughlin says:

    Thanks for the valuable things you bring to us! Are the optimists crying out that there will be no double dip wrong? It sure looks that way. I believe credit spread trading, done the right way, can be one of those valuable tools Tony was talking about! Maybe one of only a few available to the masses.

  10. Bill says:

    Jeff,

    Thanks for the video – it certainly does sum up what we’ve been looking at in the membership site.

    It’s a great feeling to be able to look ahead with confidence instead of fear, knowing that I’m positioned to do just fine if and when this downturn comes.

    Thanks so much for all you do!

    Best Regards,

    Bill

    Jeff,

    In case you didn’t see this piece with Kyle Bass, it’s a must see (the second video is outstanding). He saves the best line for last: Q: “are you as negative now as you were in 2008?” A: “I’ll answer that with a question: how many problems have you solved by kicking them down the road?”

  12. Jeffrey Ziegler says:

    Rebecca, sure thing! Credit spreads, *traded correctly* indeed is a tool thats not just for protection… but also for profit… in these times.

    Have a great day!

  13. Jeffrey Ziegler says:

    Bill, thanks for the comment. Its an amazing feeling to be able to look at the future with confidence… knowing that you have the necessary tools to consistently pull money from any market…. especially when everyone else is scared. Good job on applying this stuff, Bill!

An Option Traders Best Friend...

If you were to ask Tiger Woods what his three favorite types of shots are, he could paint an exact picture for you, down to the last detail. Without hesitation, he would describe… …where he (and his closest competitor) stood on the leaderboard standings, the weather conditions and wind (direction and ferocity), how well he’d played the hole in the past, the lie, his...
