How to Be a David to Wall Street Goliaths / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
Does the little guy ever really stand a chance in the market? Well… did David take down Goliath?
The mainstream media likes to peddle stories about the little investor who always loses money in the stock market. When the mechanics or teachers or dentists of this world try to compete with the big boys on Wall Street, they always seem to fail. Ordinary people like you and me appear doomed to lose our shirts when we try to compete against folks with sophisticated trading tools (and mathematical geniuses to run them). But are we?

What do WE know that Warren Buffet DOESN’T? / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
Simon Popple writes: I think we’re all very familiar with the concept of a “Recipe for Success” or for that matter “Recipe for Failure.” If you follow a certain path in life you invariably get similar results to others who’ve walked the same route. Be it the way you do your job, play your sport or invest your money.
To maximise your chances of success it’s best to emulate those who’ve succeeded rather than those who’ve failed. Although constant practice is no guarantee of success, by repeatedly following a proven process you substantially improve your chances of success. Set yourself up to win.

The Illusion of Safe Investing / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By Dennis Miller

The Fractal Nature of Markets - Technical Trading Video Lesson / InvestorEducation / Elliott Wave Theory
This Q&A gives you a glimpse into how market chart patterns can help your trading and investing
If you're like many traders and investors, you may not be particularly familiar with price charts.

See Dr. Ron Paul Up Close and Personal at the 2013 Casey Summit / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
He’s never voted to raise taxes. He’s never taken a government-paid junket. And he’s never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He’s Dr. Ron Paul, and he’s always led by example. During his 36 years in Congress, he tried to convince his colleagues to vote along with him against any measure that ran counter to the Constitution. Unfortunately, they seldom did.

Five Point Test for Every Investment / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
The issue is no longer one of waiting to see what the government is going to do; the real issue is what are we as investors going to do?
When I say the investment paradigm has changed, I’m referring to a combination of factors.

Growing Wealth With Stocks: Expectations vs The New Reality / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
The number one reason why stocks are a core component of most long-term financial planning strategies is their purported ability to reliably compound wealth over time.
How has this theory been working out in practice?
The world has been going down a vastly different economic and financial path than what many people in the 1980s and 1990s assumed it would. And within this new reality, there is a key question to be asked: how has real-world performance compared with typical projections of what average investors could expect when it comes to the growth in value of their investment portfolios over the long term?

Should You Invest with Borrowed Money? / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
It’s high time investors heed the yellow caution flags waving in front of their margin accounts. Much like the NASCAR driver who pumps his brakes to avoid disaster when he sees the caution flag, it's time for us to slow down.
