The answer to the question, "Is Managing Risk Optional?", given
by most people and certainly most traders and investors is
"Absolutely not! Of course you must manage risk in order to
potentially be successful," they say. And they are absolutely
right! Why then do few traders and investors do a good job of
managing risk?

Managing risk is an easy concept to embrace intellectually, but
not emotionally. We all tend to want to risk too much on any
given trade, or worse yet, we'll tend to have that "home run"
mentality, always looking for that one great stock that will
make us wealthy. We end up committing too much capital per trade
which sets us up for a string of losers that could do serious
damage to our account. We do this because we fail to comprehend
that any system or method of trading will suffer losses from
time to time, no matter how good the system or method - alas,
the "Holy Grail of Trading" does not exist.

Another tendency that most of us have is to want to trade on a
regular basis every day, and every week depending on our time
horizon, without any regard to whether or not there are any good
trade set-ups offered by the market. One of the most effective
forms of risk management is to avoid trading when there are no
potentially high probability set-ups available.

Is managing risk optional? No. For stock traders, following
these two simple rules could potentially mean the difference
between outstanding returns and unnecessary losses:

Rule#1: Risk no more than 2% of your account on any one trade.

Rule#2: Be patient, be selective and wait for the good trades.

Good Trading,

Dear Trader,

If you've been searching for FREE trading tips for stocks, forex, futures, or options, then you've come to the right place! I've been trading the markets for over 30 years and I believe I've seen it all. I've personally spent thousands of dollars on books, tapes, seminars... you name it. Some of the information was great, but most of it was pure hype.

After so many years immersed in the markets, I learned a few key truths. The most important lesson I learned, though, is that the "holy grail" of trading does not exist. Instead, I believe you need to get educated and find a mentor that can teach you how to trade in a realistic, repeatable fashion.

Because I spend so much time online researching the markets, I've amassed a virtual "Wealth Library" of information on my computer. It's a diverse collection of trading articles, eBooks, methods, and more for stock trading, forex trading, futures trading, and options trading... and I want to give it to you FOR FREE.

Will this information alone make you successful in the markets? No, of course not. It would be foolish and unethical of me to even suggest that. But if you're truly interested learning how to trade professionally, you need to be a serious-minded individual who isn't afraid to work a little bit. If this doesn't sound like you, then please STOP and don't pursue trading until you're ready. And don't be fooled by those late-night TV infomercials - trading really is NOT as easy as watching green and red lights on your computer screen.

However, if you think you're a serious-minded individual who is ready to learn how to trade stocks, forex, futures, or options and absorb my weekly, FREE trading knowledge delivered directly to your e-mail inbox, then I invite you to type in your name and e-mail the boxes above. You'll be glad you did.

In any event, I wish you all the success you deserve in the markets.
