in the markets today. Yes, I said day traders. Most people are surprised when I tell them that. But that is exactly what they are. They can and do move markets, and in the process they make millions of dollars every day stock trading stocks with a good portion of that money being made off the backs of the uninformed individual trader and investor who blindly trades or invests in the stock market today.

When it comes to stock trading or investing in stocks, most individuals are not at all prepared, or aware of what the Wall Street professionals have in store for them. And they are very good at what they do. Things like questionable analyst upgrades for companies that are clients of the brokerage firm that the analyst works for . . . so as to facilitate the selling of stock by company and corporate insiders at a higher price than normal by selling into the momemtum and price action created by the upgrade. I honestly don't know how some of these analyst can sleep at night, or how they can look at themselves in the mirror in the morning. But those are the facts, and it happens almost every day.

And, did you know about how the big players run and gun stocks, or tank them to make a killing off the underlying put or call options they had previosly loaded up on. Or how they manipulate the financial futures to manipulate stock prices, option prices, or the financial futures prices themselves so they can make large amounts of money, often at your expense. For every winner on a stock trade or investment, there has to be a loser. The market is a zero sum game. Is that loser you?

The truth of the matter is that the market is a game of money flow played by the big players as they move money around from stocks, to options, to financial futures, and back and forth in a number of different ways, all in the pursuit of greed and large profits. And remember, I previously mentioned that "a good portion of that money is being made off the backs of the uninformed individual stock trader and investor who blindly trades and invests in the stock market today."

Education is the key to the success of every indivdual stock trader and investor involved in the stock market today, witkout exception. The good news is that . . . once you learn the inner secrets of how you can trade and invest with them and not against them, like the pros do . . . you can confidently and consistently trade and invest in stocks profitably most days of the year, too.

Once you know what you are really doing, it is not uncommon to make $2,500 to $5,000 and more, per day. I have done it, and continue to do it when I trade. But if you don't know what you are doing, it is not uncommon to lose that kind of money, too. I feel very fortunate that I had the opportunity to learn from the same stock traders and investors you will meet on the pages of this site.

You can become a very successful stock trader and/or investor, but only if you are willing to invest the time and effort required educating yourself about the real workings of the stock market and how everything fits together. You won't find a better place on the internet to get the critical information you need to succeed.

If you are losing money in the markets today stock trading or investing, or not making enough money, it is time for you get out of the markets for awhile and sit back and try and analyze what you are doing wrong. If you are honest with yourself, you are going to realize that you really don't know what you are doing when it comes to stock trading and investing.

The best advice anyone can give you is to take a stock trading or investing traing course, either here or elsewhere, and find out what you should be doing. Some of these courses are not cheap, but the cost is really minimal when you consider the success you can have, and the money you can make in the stock market. You have to decide what you want to do. There is an old saying that goes like this "If you continue to do what you have always done, then you will continue to get what you have always got".

About The Maverick

By David Lindsay (Senior Business Reporter)

"I have known The Maverick for 15 years. As a stock trader he ranks among the best. He is one of the most friendly, colorful, successful, knowledgeable, and experienced traders I have ever met. He has traded on every Canadian Exchange (the Vancouver, Alberta, Montreal, and Toronto Exchanges), The London Stock Exchange known as the FTSE which is the second largest Stock Exchange in the world next to the NYSE, the New York Stock Exchange, and the NASDAQ National and Small Cap markets. He spends most of his time now trading the NASDAQ National Markets.

Although he maintains a very low profile, he is constantly approached by other traders and investors, both beginners and experienced, who want to learn from him and find out how he managed to learn and accumulate the vast amount of knowledge he has today on stock trading and investing. As usual, he credits his success to others.

However these constant requests prompted him to create the educational websites: TradeLikeThe Pros.com and DowTrend.com which profile many of the stock traders and investors that he credits for having the greatest positive impact on his success today. As he says, "I didn't want to have just anyone on this site. I wanted to make sure that l had the best. And I got the best. After all, my reputation is at stake and if you lose that, you have nothing left." With his stock trading and investing educational site, he has certainly accomplished that goal."

Now you can learn how to trade like the pros.

Good luck and good trading,
