Lesson from the Greatest Traders of all Time

10 Stock Trading Principles Quotes

Stock Trading Quote 1:     

“Whatever moves fast always appeals to me. I have learned patience and how to sit tight”   

Stock Trading Quote 2:   

“When a stock is going up no elaborate explanation is needed as to why it is going up”  

Stock Trading Quote 3:   

“Prices, we know, will move either up or down according to the resistance they encounter. For purposes of easy explanation we will say that prices, like everything else, move along the line of least resistance. They will do whatever comes easiest, therefore they will go up if there is less resistance to an advance than to a decline; and vice versa.”  

Stock Trading Quote 4:   

“Real movements do not end the day they start.  It takes time to complete the end of a genuine movement”  

Stock Trading Quote 5:   

“All I had to do thereafter was sit tight and let the market run its course, knowing if I did so, the action of the market itself would give me the in due time the signal to take my profits”  

Stock Trading Quote 6:   

“I think the clearest summing up of the whole thing was expressed by Thomas F. Woodlock when he declared: "The principles of successful stock speculation are based on the supposition that people will continue in the future to make the mistakes that they have made in the past."”  

Stock Trading Quote 7:   

“Fear and hope remain the same; therefore the study of the psychology of speculators is as valuable as it ever was. Weapons change, but strategy remains strategy, on the New York Stock Exchange as on the battlefield.”  

Stock Trading Quote 8:   

“At. first, when I listened to the accounts of old-time deals and devices I used to think that people were more gullible in the l860's and '70's than in the 1900's. But I was sure to read in the newspapers that very day or the next something about the latest Ponzi or the bust-up of some bucketing broker and about the millions of sucker money gone to join the silent majority of vanished savings.”  

Stock Trading Quote 9:   

“I knew he had been in the Street for years, way back in Civil War times, and somebody told me that he was a very wise old codger who had gone through so many booms and panics that he was always saying there was nothing new under the sun and least of all in the stock market.”  

Stock Trading Quote 10:   

“I trade on my own information and follow my own methods.”

Stock Trading Quotes on Waiting

"But I sat tight and instead of listening to my loudmouthed hopes or to my clamorous beliefs I heeded only the level voice of my experience and the counsel of common sense"

"And right here let me say one thing: After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!" 

I think it’s important to understand that the most successful traders of all time had a different approach to the stock market.  They were not trading in and out of the market every day.  They waited for the right stock to come along and if bought that stock then they weren’t disturbed the short-term stock market fluctuations.

Great traders looked at the stock market differently and their view of the market is often different than our own.  In the modern times, there is large weight given to looking at the fundamental information about the company and thinking there is a correlation between the stock and the company.  One thing to keep in mind is that the best stock traders in the world looks other factors that is directly impacting the stock itself.  

In this course we will also over some of the lessons from Dickson G Watts and Speculation As a Fine Art and Thoughts on Life.  We will also cover Jesse Livermore Trading and Jesse Livermore Trading Rules.  If you don't want to read all of the trading books this course might be better than a reminiscences of a stock operator summary.

Learn to stock trade from some of the greatest stock traders.  In this course, we will cover how to create a mechanical trading system.  This system should tell you when to buy, when to sell and how much to buy.  I think those are some great questions the greatest stock traders ask before even buying that stock.  I think it’s worth saying it again that they calculate how much they will lose even before they buy the stock.   

Trading personality assessments and the importance of personality as well as temperament on your trading success.  We will cover some of the most frequently used personality assessments.  I think your trading style should match your personality.  You should ask yourself whether you are a technical trader or a fundamental trader and I think the different personality assessment will tell you more about yourself and I think based on that you can build your best trading strategy.       

Case study of two different stocks are going to be discussed in the course.  We will talk about at what point I started buying the stocks and when was it sold out.  I will also talk about the tool I used to automatically sell out of a losing stock.
