I enjoy investing in closed-end funds that offer monthly dividends. The key strategy is to hold these investments long-term while reinvesting the monthly dividends and purchasing additional shares whenever possible. This approach is convenient because closed-end funds are traded on the stock market like regular stocks. Following this strategy could build a portfolio that generates between $50, 000 to $70, 000 in dividend income.

You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K in a meme coin from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires.❤

Took me 4 years 2 months to be profitable, from literally not knowing what a candle was or what I was even doing to now taking trades more confidently when set ups form. I’ve passed 2 ftmos 50k accounts and now I’m working on future prop firms this year. I also went full time this year as well. cheers to never giving up y’all 🍻

[austinbar]

Started my portfolio last year with SCHD, VOO, and VUG after watching one of your videos. In terms of share price, VOO is way up (22.25%) and VUG is up (39.62%). Thanks for the education!

With business sectors tumbling, expansion taking off, the Fed impressive enormous loan fee climb, while depository yields are rising quickly, and that implies more red ink for portfolios this second half of the year. How might I benefit from the ongoing unpredictable market? I'm currently at an intersection choosing if to sell my stock portfolio.

[Vikturneer]

Great pick! Reminds me of when I just started out trading. I had a consultation with a trade analyst, and it was incredibly insightful. Can’t stress enough how helpful experts in this field are!

[AnnaCeline-kuys]

It’s very informative video and well explained to anyone new on cryptocurrency investment.

Staying motivated can be a key factor in achieving our goals. It's essential to find what inspires and drives you to keep going, even when things get tough. Thank you to Mr. Zach for being a source of motivation and support along the way. It's always great to have people who encourage us on our journey.

Opinions on the market diverge; some claim overvaluation due to rapid gains, while others cite strong economic fundamentals justifying high valuations. Raises concern for my $600K equities going 8% up and 20% down. Should i hold on or sell off my positions and hold cash?

[christopherwalker]

Took me 7 years. It takes time. People underestimate the psychological aspect of trading. I would say it’s 95% psychological 5% skill. If you don’t know who, Mark Douglas is/was, you have no business trading, change my life! It’s nice to hear that others had a long process to become profitable as well. Great job!

[alfredofelloizquerdo]

She's telling the truth, it's experience that you need to trade.✨️

[castilloFX]

I turned $100 to 2k twice and blew both accounts because I got arrogant. Lesson learned. Now I’m working again to build it back up. Your equity chart tells a lot about yourself. Let the wins run and cut your losses fast. Those wicks are important!

[emilydonna]

In trading, possessing technical analysis skills is not sufficient on its own; discipline and emotional maturity play crucial roles in achieving success. Embracing the mindset of "time in the market vs. timing the market" proves valuable, especially during market fluctuations. I attribute my growing daily earnings to Walter James's valuable insights and daily trade signals, coupled with my commitment to continuous learning, managed to grow a nest egg of around 127k to a decent 532k. Kudos to the journey ahead!

I’ve been trading for 11 years. In my opinion you don’t need thousands to start. You just need consistency and risk management. Always stick to the plan. Of course it will take longer to make a sizable profit if you start small but it’s a so possible. But it can’t be about ‘getting rich’

[StacySiderisAhern]

Very interesting! You have a great view on trading much as Jim Simons did in 1978!
I am 84 years old and trade less frequently at this point. Each day I go to a shop where I am able to interact with young people and work with my hands and use another part of what is left of my brain.
Do homework, analyse direction of a trade and set a target and get away from the monitors to avoid over thinking and constant adjusting.
Excellent teaching! Many thanks

[Leighwilliams]

Thank goodness you brought this up!
Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life.
Currently earn as much as 10 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life. Great piece!..

[rayraman]

First time visiting your channel and I'm blown away! I’ve been at this for what feels like ages, and people on the outside just don't get how much self-discipline it takes. The moment you think you’ve got it all figured out is usually when you’re about to start over. It’s so refreshing to hear from a fellow trader who truly knows her stuff.

Year 1: Greed & Wishful Thinking
Year 2: Disciplined & Somewhat Successful
Year 3: Indifferent & Profitable

[rodbowles]

I'm nine months in. Just starting to feel some consistency. I'm still only doing one contract. I feel I'm still months away from 2 contracts but I feel some confidence building in me. These videos encourage me. I will succeed by God's grace because I never give up and I have discipline

[paulodonnell]

I have been struggling with trading for 3.5 years and I know what you have said is true. Thank you for your honesty. The trading community needs more people like you.
