Traders & Investors Club Meeting - 20th March 2012
2012 has not been a good year for stock market bears. Our short positions have been stopped in their tracks and we are currently standing aside dusting ourselves off.
Of course, it would be easy to blame our miscalculations on the fact that successive rounds of Quantitative Easing on both sides of the Atlantic have resulted in a very large increase in liquidity with nowhere for the mountains of cash to go except the stock market. But, that would just be sour grapes, wouldn't it?
However, we are not hanging up our bear suits just yet. A significant technical warning sign is currently flashing in the shape of divergence between the Dow Jones Industrial and Transport indices. We are great respecters of Dow Theory so we are keeping our powder dry.
On the positive side, our short Japanese Yen play is finally gathering a head of steam ably assisted by the BoJ's decision to increase their QE program by 50%.
Yes, ladies and gentleman, they're all cranking up the printing presses.
Can it really be that simple to pull the world economy out of recession?
To explore this interesting question further, come along to the next Traders & Investors Club meeting.
Make Trading Your Life, But Before You Quit Your Job........
Jeff Boccaccio of the Traders & Investors Club makes a welcome return from his globe-trotting adventures.
In this candid talk drawn from his own personal experience, Jeff will be discussing why he believes that not only can anyone can fit trading into their personal lifestyle but how, for some of us, trading can actually be a lifestyle enabler.
He will look beyond the seductive bling of Rolex watches and sports cars that are commonly associated with traders and focus instead upon some of the not-so-glamorous aspects of trading that make the difference between failure and long-term success. Jeff will also be discussing the reality behind trading from the beach or the ski slopes and shows how it really can be done with proper planning and discipline.
How does Jeff know? Because he does it.
For those of you looking to take your trading up a notch from part-time to full-time, he will be outlining a transition plan to implement before you quit your job and reveals some of the short cuts to success that he has discovered along the way.
What Can A Trading Coach Do For Me?
We are often asked by both new and experienced traders if they would benefit from one-to-one mentoring with a Trading Coach.
Our answer is that one-to-one mentoring is proven to be the quickest and most successful way to improve your skills in all walks of life from golf and skiing through foreign languages to spiritual enlightenment.
The path to becoming a full-time trader requires time and money, whether you choose to spend it on education or on losses in the market. Mentoring is a way to significantly reduce both overheads.
Paul Wallace of Trading Beliefs has been trading for 13 years and educating traders for the last 6. He has worked with a wide spectrum of traders from complete beginners through to Institutional Bank traders.
There are many people who claim to be a �trading coach� but what does it actually mean to be one and what is it like to work with one? Is it a worthwhile investment or is it just money for old rope?
This evening, Paul will be sharing his personal experiences of transforming traders from zeros to heros and answering the question �What Can A Trading Coach Do For Me?�

Kevin Barry of the Traders & Investors Club will be discussing his market positions for the month ahead as well as presenting our regular summary of the recent global market action and throwing the floor open for YOUR take on the current trading environment.
