Why Do Most Traders Lose Money in the Stock Market?

Why do most traders lose money? No one talks about it.

SUBSCRIBEto get INSTANT alerts when I post a new video outlining my penny stock trading techniques.*

The sad reality is that 90% of traders lose. 80% of my students don't even bother studying the video lessons, they just hot stock picks. So, I'm fighting the trend.

You always have to be adapting, and you always have to be testing. I wish that the stock market were an exact science. It's not. It's more of an art, and there's kind of like a moving target. So, even if you master, let's say buying earnings winners. Earnings winners might work for a week or a month or three months, and then they'll stop working. Even if you master, you know, shorting morning spikes. It might work for a week, a month, six months, and then it'll stop working.

You need to have different strategies, and this is why I have so many video lessons, DVDs, webinars. I track every single thing I do, and my top students track everything that they do. If you're a fan of my top student Tim Grittani, whose now made close to seven million, I've only made close to five million, so he's surpassed me. If you're a trading challenge student, you have over 50 archive webinars of him live trading.

Even though most traders lose, guess what. There are some traders, like me and my top students, who have profited year in, year out, and we teach openly. I'm not afraid if you become profitable and I'm profitable.

I know some people out there, a lot of newbies these days, are making money in a bull market. What if the bull market turns into a bear market? Are they prepared? I'd be very very very worried, learning from somebody with one, two, three years experience, because they just haven't seen it all. They're not bad people, and they're just inexperienced. And learning from inexperienced people is very very dangerous, and very risky. And you don't even know it until it's too late.

If and when the market changes, guess what, they're not prepared because they've never seen another market. I've made money in bull markets and bear markets. So, I'm not here to brag, and I'm just tryin' to explain to you the landscape. And a lot of people say, "Tim, like why are this cocky? You haven't made this much money." It's not cockiness, and it's experience. I've seen the ups and the downs. I've seen real traders, I've seen fake traders, I've seen every kind of stock movement possible.

So, I'm trying to share with you, from my years of experience so that it can help you be better prepared. As I said, the stock market is a battlefield. I want to arm you with like, the best weaponry. I'm basically like your Drill Sargent, and I'm not here to be your friend. If you don't like my personality, if you get offended, if you're like the grammar police with my blog posts I don't need you, and you don't need me, the world is very big. But, if you don't care about little stuff and you're focused on like, okay. This guy knows what he's talking about, then hit me up. Message me, go to timothysykes.com. Don't trust any of these freakin' random people who say like, and I have imposters these days.

People on different social media and they say, "Oh, I'm Tim Sykes' student." No, don't learn from random people on the internet, okay? I'm sorry that there are so many imposters, that's what comes with being real. Go to timothysykes.com/contact, and I'll also post a link just below this video. If you want to learn, do me a favor and be dedicated, and don't sweat the small stuff, because I have no tolerance and no patience.
