What is your biggest challenge you have faced with your trading?

Dear Mr. Covel,

My single biggest problem is to identify “the stocks which have the high potential to make big moves in future”. What should be my hunting ground for profitable trades?

Thanks
Regards,
A. B.

What if I told you that was the wrong plan? Start here.

Well, my biggest challenge is that I want to do investing/trading full time. I’m way more passionate about the markets as a carreer than I am about my current day job. But without a financial background or financial education it seems almost impossible. I’ve been at it for 3 years or so without a steady mentor. I’m finding out there are many avenues you can take. So far My experience has been value investing and some options trades. I’ve done ok. I’ve paid some dues.

Thanks,
J.

Start reading. That’s everyone’s first step.

Hi Michael,

First of all, I wanted to thank you for the amazing content on your podcast. Tons of value and in every episode, I’m really enjoying it. My main challenge with trading is that there is a really big distance between the theoretical ideas and actual implications. What I really need is a good strategy of how to implement the trades. Any strategy that is based on trusting a subscription list of recommendations to buy or sell does not sit right with me. I can definitely take advice and if there is a proven system of how to do it I’m in, but I need to understand and feel confident before I can trust anyone.

Looking Forward,
C. W.

A good start.

Hi Michael,

I hope this email finds you well.

Patience and uncertainty are my biggest challenges. I’m too impatient to wait to see a profit. (i.e. holding on to a stock for a year). Having a lack of experience in analyzing financial statements is my next challenge. I’ve read that financial statements are not appreciated much in trend following, but how does one pick healthy stocks that are about to go up soon, and not get delisted?

Devin.

Let go of this fundamental mindset. You are chasing your tail. No one can pick stocks about to go up soon. That’s not trend following. Dive in.
