Why I Trade

I've never really stopped to think before why I trade. Here are a few reasons:

  • To Make a Living. "It's a living!" Making money to pay the bills is a necessity. It's is also a commandment from God.
  • I want to make a lot of money. I want to be able to buy a ranch. That's why I keep putting pictures of ranch scenes at the top of this blog. I want it to be a daily reminder of what I'm working for.
  • I want to be independent and free from the need to work for someone else.
  • I want to be in control of myself and my destiny.
  • It drives me to develop greater and greater discipline.
  • It allows me to use leverage and amplify my profits faster than most other professions.
