 | Investing & Trading: Trader Thoughts- Popularizing Economics My Daily Blog is at: http://investorandtrader.blogspot.com/ Here's Thom's channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Thom363 Ok. Economics is becoming popularized. This is a good thing. And I think this is a bad thing. It is a good thing in that it is offering free education and introduction as to economics. And it is doing so in an easy and clear to understand manner. Something that has been sorely lacking with economic education. You have movies like "Money as Debt", as well as "Maxed Out", among others. It can be a bad thing as almost all of these movies are not presenting what "Paul Harvey" would call: The Rest of the Story. Namely, the 'cons' to the economic schools of thought they are supporting; as it has worked in the real world. NOTE: This is not an investment or trading recommendation. The losses in trading can be very real, and depending on the investment vehicle, can exceed your initial investment. I am not a licensed trading or investment adviser, or financial planner. But I do have 12 years of experience in trading and investing in these markets. The Challenge accounts are run for the education of other traders who should make their own decisions based off their own research and risk tolerance. |
