Good traders don’t just throw money around at any stock that comes their way. They educate themselves on a particular industry and make those trades their niche. Jerry Robinson is the bestselling author of Bankruptcy of Our Nation and the founder of Follow the Money. He is our guest this week on Limit Up! and discusses the importance of finding your niche and diversifying your assets. Take a listen to find out the best strategy for your portfolio.
Modern economists have grown so reliant on bailouts whenever there is market instability that the tax burden inevitably gets passed on to regular people. Most US families only have income streams from their jobs, the most heavily taxed revenue stream. Jerry Robinson is a trader and author who wants to change all that.
On today’s episode of Limit Up, Jerry discusses two key fundamental concepts for every trader: know your trading niche and diversify. Traders who are educated in a specific area do well to trade in that area as opposed to casting a wide net.
Jerry also passionately believes in ending the consumption trap and discusses how he and his family have managed to live mostly off the grid. Listen to the episode for Jerry’s advice on the best ways to diversify your portfolio and educate yourself on the opportunities that come with careful investment.
Jerry Robinson is an economist, trend trader/trading coach, best-selling author, as well as a real estate and cryptocurrency investor.
He is the founder of Followthemoney.com, an independent financial education website. And he is also the creator of the Profit Trakker trend trading system.
In 2012, Jerry Robinson uprooted his family from the suburbs of Houston, Texas and now lives a more sustainable (about 75% off-the-grid) lifestyle in the beautiful Ozark mountains in Northwestern Arkansas. (Jerry also has a passion for researching and teaching the Bible and shares his teachings online at TrueRichesRadio.com.) Find him on Twitter: @ftmdaily
