Week of Surprises and Chaos Takes Its Toll on the Market (from realmoney.thestreet.com)

Wake me up when September ends.

By JAMES "REV SHARK" DEPORRE Sep 27, 2019 | 05:03 PM EDT

In my closing post last Friday, September 20 I noted: “Since 1960 the week following the third Friday of September has produced the most negative results of any week of the entire year”. The week didn’t turn out to be the worst of the year but the negative seasonality did have an impact. After a late bounce today the S&P500 was down around 1.1% for the week, the Nasdaq lost 2.3% and the Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) was down 2.7%.

Why Going Deaf and Losing Everything Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me

I hope that my story helps to provide some hope to those dealing with difficult circumstances.

By JAMES "REV SHARK" DEPORRE Nov 28, 2019 | 09:00 AM EST

For 18 years now I've written about my personal journey on the day before Thanksgiving on RealMoney. I do it for two reasons. First, I find it important to be grateful for the many blessings in life. Even when things look bleak, focusing on the positives leads to a better life than negativity and pessimism.

If You Aren't Wrong Quite Often, You Aren't Trying Hard Enough

The best market players know that there is no shame in being wrong.

By JAMES "REV SHARK" DEPORRE

One of the hardest things for many traders and investors to do is to admit that they are wrong. In many, if not most, endeavors in this world being wrong is a badge of shame. It is viewed as an admission that you might not be very competent or, even worse, maybe you just aren't very bright.

The Mental Game of Trading Stocks

Three key personality characteristics will determine your trading success.
By JAMES "REV SHARK" DEPORRE

Many factors will impact your trading success, but all of them are a function of your emotions and thinking to some degree. Even the way you view a chart or fundamentals are determined in part by your emotional and psychological makeup.

There are certain emotional traits that many successful traders have in common. Some are born with these traits while others will have to actively cultivate them. While it may not feel natural for you to think and act in a certain way, if you cultivate those emotions you can change your behavior and thinking over time.

Three key personality traits tend to lead to successful trading: optimism, persistence and an acceptance of reality.

Buying Will Get You Nowhere If You Don't Know How to Sell
Let's explore the tremendous power of the sell button -- and why it's so emotionally charged.
By JAMES "REV SHARK" DEPORRE May 28, 2022

the decision of when to sell has a far greater impact on our investing. Selling always causes mixed or negative emotions. In most cases, it is deemed to be recognition of a mistake or failure, and even when we are taking profits, we wonder if we are selling at the wrong time. Investors would much rather focus on buying than selling.

Has the Market Hit Bottom? Wrong Question

The thing that is far more important than catching a market bottom is catching sustained momentum.

By JAMES "REV SHARK" DEPORRE

In a bear market, there is always an intense focus on one issue -- namely, has the market hit bottom? There has been endless debate about that issue lately, and there are compelling arguments for both sides. It certainly is a possibility that we have seen the lows, but it is a distracting question and should not be the most important issue for traders and investors to contemplate.

Here's My Best Advice for Trading a Market That Has Gone Parabolic

Re: Jobs report:

It was interesting that there wasn't even a minor dip in the Nonfarm Payrolls, which were 50% higher than expected. Apparently, the market has concluded that strong job numbers are not inflationary because the flood of immigrants is providing ample supply and keeping wages suppressed. Under the surface, full-time jobs keep failing, and black unemployment is at a two-year high. Also, all the new jobs appear to be part-time.

The conclusion is that there aren't any significant inflationary pressures in the jobs data.
