Introduction to The Momentum Stock Trading System School

The Seven Steps to Become a Highly Successful Stock Trader

You may not yet realize it, but right now you're staring at a ticket to financial independence. That's right -- this brief primer might make a big difference in your life, enabling you to make 40, 50, 70, or 100%+ in the stock market YEAR AFTER YEAR. Enabling you to run your stock portfolio into the kind of figures you could only previously dream about. Do the math your-self. How many years at say a conservative 50% average rate of return will it take for you to be at the stage where you can live off your stock portfolio income?

  The real beauty of the Stress Free Trading method is it really does give you the flexibility to not only make vastly superior rates of returns in the stock market, but as it trades from weekly price data, you really should keep your full-time job UNTIL you have enough stock market money to quit.

  Imagine where you can be in say ten years from now. How would you feel having so much stock market money you could easily quit your full-time job and still have a passive income and have the time to enjoy your new found life?

  You've probably heard of The Stress Free Trading Company. But you may not yet know what we're all about and what we can offer you.

Stress Free Trading Co-founder Mark Crisp came up with a mission and cranked out the first issue of The Momentum Stock Trading newsletter in June 1997. The Stress Free Trading debuted online in 1997. That mission was, has been, and will always be to help you to invest for yourself and gain control of your personal finances. We want to help you make the smart decisions about your money.

We strive to educate, amuse, and enrich -- all at the same time. We know that most people have never been taught much about finance or investing, and that a glance through The Wall Street Journal or a mutual fund prospectus sometimes can be rather intimidating or confusing. That's how they like it. But you know better (or at least you're going to in just a moment). Learning about financial topics doesn't require a Ph.D., and making good financial decisions doesn't require high-priced helpers.

Tending to your finances isn't as mysterious and complex as you've been led to believe. The professional Wise men on Wall Street, however, would like you to keep thinking it's too difficult for you to do yourself. That way you'll entrust your hard-earned dollars to them, so that they can generate fat commissions for themselves.

Yes, there are some good brokers out there worth the money they charge. But know that most financial advisors aren't paid by how well they manage your investments, but by how often they get you to trade in and out of stocks. Their main job isn't money management. It's sales. And what do you get in return? Sub-par performance and lower returns.

Give us a little time and we'll show you how you can beat Wall Street at its own game. You read that right. Your portfolio shouldn't have much trouble trouncing 75% - 90% of professionally managed mutual funds over time. I will show you a stock trading technique, and give you the tools to implement it, where you can trade the VERY best stocks on the NASDAQ stock market, make vastly superior profits, and in about ten minutes per week. Let the market work for you. Don't work for the stock market.

And now for a hot stock tip...

Just kidding! We think the person who most has your financial best interests at heart is you. That's right -- you're the one who should be making the decisions affecting your monetary future. And you don't need an MBA or a pair of suspenders or a pricey summer home in the Hamptons. You don't even need a stranger's hot stock tip. (FYI: Most of those were cold long before they got to you.) Believe it or not, some fifth-grade math and a dash of horse sense is pretty much all you need to get better returns than most professional money managers.

Once you have a little knowledge under your belt, we suspect you'll find that managing your own money can actually be fun -- you might even want to delve into the world of picking stocks for yourself. The Stress Free Trading web site has tools to help you along the way: Books, stock screeners, trading systems, stock picking service, seminars. We start with this modest primer. In it we lay out a systematic approach to investing that should benefit novice and seasoned investors alike. We first focus on getting your financial house in order, then move into a discussion of various investment options, and later address more advanced investing topics.

No material presented here should frighten or intimidate you (unless you happen to be frightened by semicolons or puns involving llamas). You don't need any fancy credentials in order to understand anything in here, but that doesn't mean you should jump immediately into the stock market whole hog. Ease into investing. Take it one step at a time.

For example, you might want to first paper trade my trading approaches at first. Or trade with a very small % of your trading portfolio in the beginning. Good. Take it slow until you are comfortable with the mechanics of the system. Don't take any action until you're comfortable with what you're doing.

So without further ado, let's part the curtains and unveil the Stress Free Trading approach to Trading.
