One of your best videos.

re: 2% well I have 4k to play with so 2% trade would be £80 my fees for trading in/out are £11.50 + 0.5% tax so the problem is there i'd have to be up 15% ish before i made any money ,or am I being thick ?

[AirelonTrading]

@sausage4mash Yeah ... that's a tough one ... I have $3.50 commissions, so it changed the entire situation.

Plus, for accounts under $9,000 .... I mention that "rule no. two" is almost a must. In other words, constant additions of capital to keep growing the account capital.

Dan the man! Thankyou so much for your advice. Ray Liotta or Harry from third rock from the sun?

[AirelonTrading]

@donthasslethahoff You're more than welcome.

Actually, I get "Jim Carey" all the time. :^)

"Never let the perfume of the premium overpower the odour of the risk", I use this statement all the time.

[AirelonTrading]

@82snowball I LOVE that ... !

Hey Dan, quality video.  Have you noticed that as your we get deeper into your money management videos they get fewer and fewer views? It's your prophecy coming true...I guess money management seperates the wheat from the chaff so to speak.

[AirelonTrading]

I'm glad you're enjoying them mate! Yeah, this collection has sort of become "my babies".

And yes ... I've noticed the exact same thing.

I'm sometimes asked ... "Aren't you afraid you're giving away some secrets here? Aren't you worried it'll kill your profitability". Then I look at the dropping view count on this playlist? And smile.

:)

@galendracos Those who will succeed are probably not the ones who will not watch the money management series. I totally trust Dan, so I'm going to do exactly as he says. Other than a pension plan and a Registered Saving Plan, I have no investment yet , and not ready to have any. Thanks, Dan.

question: [i'm making you my personal suzy orman] i have this account with my bank called "MyFirst CD" you attach direct deposit to it with a max of $2,000 for 1 year at 4%. I have my 401k at 15% with 6% matching from my company. here's the question should i either bump up my 401k to 25% OR break my neck to get to $2,000 in the MyFirst CD ASAP?

[AirelonTrading]

:^) Heheh.

Well ... remember, I feel a little strange giving too much advice, without any licenses. But I can let you know what I would do in a similiar situation. :^)

Well, with the 401k? I'd look to the performance first. If it's performing well for the last year?  Then I may be tempted to put the money there. My wife has a 401k (not sure if you saw that story). It's up 3.82% this year, and I'm happy with that, since most 401k's are getting NAILED right now ... (cont)

[AirelonTrading]

If the 401k is performing well? Then I'd probably go with 401k. Here's why. I don't like to get into situations where I 'break my neck' too much. Because if I get in a situation where I need emergency funds? And I'm breaking my neck to get funds elsewhere? It can set me back, actually, in the long run.

If the 401k isn't performing well? Then I'd probably look for ways to get to the CD. That's a pretty high rate for a CD.

[shakaama]

doesn't matter now. i was fired today. gotta love being a peon in a corporation. and they pretend they care about their employees. and are about to do nationwide cuts anyway, and force retirement. weeeeeee.

speaking of 401k since i've only opened it under 6 months can't i disolve it?

[AirelonTrading]

Ahhhhhhhh suck man. Sorry to hear that. Honestly. Man. That just .... sucks.

To tell you the truth mate? I'm not sure in regards to 401k's. My wife started a 401k without telling me - so I'm not really that up on them. I just have hers in a straight money market. I wish I knew, to help you out, but I'm not sure.

[shakaama]

how could i get 20k a year in dividend income?  i could survive off of that, and it would free up time to pursue other stuff to get ahead.

[AirelonTrading]

You'd need a pretty big account to have that right off. Because per quarter, most dividends average between 15 to 30 cents per share. Per share cost is averaging around $20 to $40.

It's possible to build up to to that size, but it takes a little bit ...

[newutubejunkie]

Dan, could you talk more about how to actually determine the risk when doing the risk analysis? Does it mainly mean just checking balance sheets: assets, P/E ratios? Thanks.

[AirelonTrading]

I'm going to talk about that in today's video. I mean - how much of the capital of your account equity to throw at one particular trade, or investment

[AirelonTrading]

When it comes to balance sheets, assets, P/E ratios - I'd classify that under analysis, rather than just money management. Looking 'at the books' of a company per se.
