This is an "evergreen" business. Even as the markets shift, and the economy changes... the system will always work! This business will never change... the principles, once you learn them, are yours forever. You could learn these and hand them down to your children and grandchildren. The basics of this business will never change because the underlying the principles will never change. That's why I call it an 'evergreen' business. Unlike franchises or other types of consumer or business-to-business markets, the stock and option markets have been around for hundreds of years. And even though the markets move and change in some ways, the principles have been the same for the past 200+ years. How did I discover how to start a stock and option business? One day I woke up one day to find a little extra cash sitting in a money market earning 1.5% a year. The next year it was earning 3%... wow - 3% a year. I felt my money should be put to better and more productive use and I started looking into all kinds of franchise opportunities and other businesses to invest in... but they all had one drawback - the financial investment was large but so was the investment of time... something I really didn't have as a father of four. So after years of 'hit or miss' trading I started thinking about trading as a real business about 2 1/2 years ago - buying and selling stocks and options as a 'business'. I didn't know if it could be done, but the idea intrigued me. I knew somebody, somewhere was making a killing in the markets and I was determined to find them, learn everything they know and make a killing of my own. I was determined to run my trading as a business, not as a gambler, and that meant looking at opportunities, supply and demand, marketplace dynamics and managing my business based on solid business fundamentals: profit, loss, expenses, overhead and return on investment. Like any business my only concern was to buy something that I could sell at a profit - and with enough of a profit margin so that my expenses (although small) were covered leaving me with a consistent and reliable income. http://tradeprosysem.blogspot.com/#
