    Thoughts on Wealth & Income

    I recently re-read The Millionaire Next Door.  Almost forgot how profound and "potentially" life
    changing that book can be...here's a quote from Thomas Stanley that pulls-no-punches;

    Most people have it all wrong about wealth in America.  Wealth is not the same as income. 
    If you make a good income each year and spend it all, you are not getting wealthier. 
    You are just living high.  Wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend.

    ~ Thomas Stanley, Ph.D., and William Danko, The Millionaire Next Door

    To your ever expanding wealth!  Scott

    Thoughts to Consider

    Remember, the market is designed to fool most of the people most of the time. Sometimes, the market will go contrary to what speculators have predicted. At these times, speculators must abandon their predictions and follow the action of the market. Never argue with the tape. Markets are never wrong, but opinions often are. I only try to react to what the market is telling me by its behavior.     ~Jesse Livermore

    Life Quote

    We all face obstacles of one kind or another in life.  But if you let your deepest passion serve as your fuel, you'll be able to travel the road back and move on to make your dreams happen. 

    ~Dr. Francisco Bucio, as quoted in Cynthia Kersey's book, UNSTOPPABLE

    Book debut rescheduled to August 25th, 2009

    Hello Friends,

    We received a call from our publisher today.  Due to a slight technical difficulty transitioning the book copy & cover to Amazon, the official debut date has been rescheduled to August 25th. 

    Because of this delay we're opening up the remainder of the ChartSmith Trader's Kits (only 7 left!) at a Special Reserve pricing arrangement.  The complete book in binder form with the Trader's Kit is available until they're gone!  Go to the
    Special Reserve pricing page to order yours.

    Thanks to all of you for teaming up with us to get the word out about this incredible business. 

    To your trading success,

    Scott

    Funnymentals

    Funny-Mentals

    It is amazing to me; every day I turn on the news to see reports emphasizing how the current recession is over...

    July saw a loss of approximately 488,000 jobs, more than the estimate of 328,000 lost jobs.  Now there is talk of the Bureau of Labor Statistics to revise job losses for the beginning of 2009 considerably higher.  I’m not an economist but in order to see a rebound in the economy doesn’t there need to be jobs?

    This is one of the reasons Scott refers to news reports as funnymentals.  It’s fun to see and read them, just don’t believe them.  Be a technical trader first and foremost.  Study the charts, use the tools, and check the seasonality; beyond that, the news is just the news.  

    Lastly, consider who the news is targeting and
    view the news as entertainment and nothing more.

    Have a wonderful week!  Shawna
