Fractal Energy Trading with Doc Severson, Ep #36
Subscribe to How To Trade ItDoc Severson has been trading since the mid-90s. According to him, that’s when it was relatively easy to make money. Stocks were discounted compared to today’s prices. When 2000 hit, he realized he didn’t know what he was doing. Everyone is a genius in a bull market. He understood the tech market well and knew what would be hot or speculative. But when the market turned, he no longer had an edge. He kept buying on the way down. So he went dormant until 2004 when he attended a motivational seminar about the stock market and options. He jumped out of his seat and signed up for the program. He’s been a solopreneur, market trader, and coach ever since.
