Hey MFG,
It starts with 1 stock and 1 share. My first dividend stock was AT&T and my first dividend payment was $12. Today, I earn over $1,000 a week!
It has been a tough journey. Life doesn't make it easy to invest at times. That’s also what makes it so satisfying. You have the opportunity to achieve what few among your friends and family ever will: financial independence.
The mantra of the paycheck-to-paycheck middle class goes like this, "I'm too busy.” Then, they list work, family, some tough life issue they are experiencing, and the basic list of excuses (we all have in common) that steal their wealth and their possible financial Independence.
Today's message is about anchor points. You should always be focused on your financial education and family's wealth. Building wealth requires a daily commitment of reading, studying, and practicing.
If you learn the skill of managing your own investments your earning days, never come to an end.
ANCHOR POINTS - HOW TRADERS AND INVESTORS CAN USE MONEY FLOW ANCHOR POINTS TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.
Money Flow Anchor Points create market structure and help us pinpoint tops and bottoms. Both traders and investors can use these points to their advantage.
Anchor and apex points are also called structure or pivot points and are points of price contact that help us identify stop loss zones and profit targets. Once price drops an anchor, goes sideways for 4 days, and jumps above the 5-day EMA, that's my trigger to enter the trade.
This week’s homework video is about money flow anchor points.
Anchor points are also used to draw trend lines and establish support and resistance zones. The Money Flow Trading System is based on the idea that prices trend. An anchor point is the point that establishes the box and gives valuable information regarding the movement of price and makes sense of market structure.
There should never be a time that you're not adding funds, even if you're flat broke and you can only afford 1 share or coin of something.
Repetition is the mother of skill.
Many of today's brokerage accounts like app M1 finance allow as little as $10 investments across portfolios of 30 stocks in 1-click. The uninvested world is quickly running out of excuses.
Yep! $10 can be spread across 30 stocks. And, you can borrow against it with 1 click! Maybe use that as down payment on your 1st rental property AND LET DIVIDENDS PAY BACK THE LOAN?
Lack of funds doesn't mean you have to also include a lack of knowledge. They seem to go hand in hand, but they don't have to. You can learn anything you are interested in today world virtually free, thanks to the power of YouTube University.
The great thing about this University is you don't need to borrow money; you just need to have a genuine interest in knowing or understanding the investment world.
"There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws that govern the process of acquiring riches, once these laws are learned and obeyed by any man or woman, he or she will get rich with mathematical certainty." -The Science of Getting Rich
Always remember, whatever you think about comes about, whatever you focus on grows. - GP
