Invest4Success

If, like me, you are not flush with cash to trade, I keep a Roth IRA which I use to snail-trade to wealth.  This account uses a small amount of cash allocated monthly from salary - along with blog income from Google Adsense - to invest gradually in dividend income stocks.  The reality is most people I have met through the years don't have the level of capital to trade successfully and would be better off using tax-efficient accounts, such as a Roth IRA, to accumulate wealth. 

Invest4Success is a Stocktwits Premium room that tracks the monthly investments I make into my Roth IRA. It's a back-to-basics approach that uses well-established names, a buy-and-hold strategy, and dividend re-investment to build value.  Eventually, I will use covered calls to generate additional income, but this is probably a year away. 

If you are interested, it costs $249 a year, but you can get a 50% discount ($125/year) and a 14-day free trial with coupon code fallondpicks.

Trading on eToro Review

Image
I have been trading with eToro for the last 3 years and have found eToro to be great way to scratch the trading itch without having to risk large amounts of capital - thanks to its finely-tuned trade ticket.  Details on how best to get the most out of eToro trade ticket I have outlined below.  At the end of this article I have included a list of (low-key) performers on eToro you should consider following or copying. You can start by registering with eToro. I recommend starting with the minimum deposit of $200 and using the 1% risk rule of available capital;  this means if your starting capital is $200, then your first trade will risk $2. So in risking $2, what is the initial position size to use? The eToro Trade ticket will default to a standard $25 lot, with a 50%(!) stop, usually on x100 leverage. You will not want to enter your first trade this way . First thing will be to change the leverage to x1, then change your stop loss to $1 just to avoid any errors. The ...

Long Form Article: Are Markets Ready to Crash?

Image
After any sustained period of gains in markets, talk often cycles towards market tops and potentially, the “C” word. From 2022 lows, to its highs in March 2024, the S&P has gained over 50%, a considerable gain for any index over a relatively short period.  Given that, what can we look forward to in the months ahead?  The first thing I wanted to look at was the level of ‘chatter’ around the term “Market Crash” in search engine results.  Searches like these are often counterintuitive, when everyone thinks markets are crashing, the worst is often behind it. For example, when we look at the Google search results for “Market Crash” over the last five years, there was a big spike for the search term in March 2020, but since then, very little.   And what happened to the market when the spike occurred? No surprise to know it appeared in the month when markets marked a bottom. And we haven’t looked back since.  So, while there may be an inclination towards a m...
