Darth Trader

WILL DAY TRADERS EVER GET THE RESPECT THE DESERVE? It has been an interesting week following this mega-viral post from @TheFlowHorse and the Market Wizards chapter list post from @gfc4. I’ve come to one conclusion: most mainstream traders on Wall Street or investors at home are unable to fathom the skills of elite traders. Truly, that’s the only thing that can explain the consistent attitude of the quants like @macrocephalopod and money managers like @orrdavid in the face of overwhelming evidence. I’ve verified on Kinfo, Trillium verified me, SMB verified me, and Jack/George reviewed every single one of my brokerage statements. For some, nothing will ever be enough. Historically Market Wizards has been THE gold stamp of trading approval. Yet now, because there is an edition heavily focused on day traders - the quants and money managers lose their shit and assume everything is a fraud now (Jack and George are now “paid shills” 🙄) rather than come to the more sensical conclusion that there are a subset of insanely talented day traders with eye-watering returns!? Here is why - it’s because it invalidates everything their lives stand for. The fact that a security guard, a teenager, a musician, and a young kid from Indiana University can dwarf every achievement they’ve ever dreamed of all by the age of 40 and in many cases by the age of 30. I think it speaks just to how fast the world is changing and how much the boomers will be left behind. This isn’t the world of quants and money managers anymore. This is a world where young kids with drive have the tech and resources to change the world. More than ever, the trailblazers of every industry are becoming younger and younger. The old guard that refuses to believe will only be left behind. And I get it, I sell a course. Traditionally that is associated with grifters and scammers. Yea, well Bitcoin in 2015 was associated with the same. The end result is that the boomers were missing the forest for the trees. Most people would rather bury their head in the sand. Ignore all the evidence. Because it protects their fragile worldview. That doesn’t change reality though. Every single trader in this book provided the receipts. If people don’t want to believe it, that speaks to the quality of what I and others have achieved. My message to you all is the same message that @TheFlowHorse wrote: IGNORE THE HATERS! YOU CAN ACHIEVE UNBELIEVABLE THINGS! My course that I sell is the biggest joke of a business. I will openly admit that. I’ve invested thousands of hours into something that barely pays me minimum wage. But I do it because I truly want to pass on my knowledge and share with you the concepts and insights I’ve learned. Much of that knowledge is 100% FREE. Judge me by the quality of my content rather than the words of the trolls. I don’t mind being mocked. I somewhat mind the credibility and brand of @jackschwager @gfc4 and Market Wizards getting caught in the crossfire. So, how do we win? If you are young and hungry, use the knowledge we all share with you. This IS a new generation. Market Wizards ARE on X and freely sharing that knowledge. The haters laugh, but that is something BEAUTIFUL! It speaks to the accessibility of info today. Use it to become great! Become your own epic story of what we all can achieve when we believe. And if you get hate along the way, keep pushing because it means you’re doing something right! ✊
