Hi
My personal experience has been very bad, in spite of paying a lot of money and learning dozens of different strategies.
If you fit into the criteria listed (i.e. you’ve been trading / investing successfully for over a decade), i would like to ask if your ROI has exceeded the ^DJI over that time frame.
If it has, what kind of returns have you been making?
Honest answers please. Too many crooked salesman are out there making trading sound like a breeze. I’ve done a crap-ton of financial modelling, dcf, fcff, fcfe, momentum and trend trading strats and at the end, i realize now that it may all have been for naught.
I would know enough to conduct a seminar on financial modelling and technical analysis, but in the end, i would not believe in a word myself.

The 2000′s have certainly been a tough decade. My portfolio, is up some 50% for that time period. Not a ‘barn burner’, but considering the two brutal bear markets we went thru that decade, I am not too displeased. I pick the occasional stock(s), but for the most part, I am a mutual fund investor.
If you can not pick good stocks, use mutual funds. And then wait for the market (in general) to take you up.
Some people are just not cut out to be involved with investing/trading because it simply does not gel with their mentality > just move on and call it a day >SAVE YOUR MONEY !
