There are a variety of topics we\u2019ve been meaning to address, and today\u2019s the day we\u2019re getting to them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this week\u2019s episode, hosts Tim Bohen and Stephen Johnson tackle a grab bag of topics: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s going on in the market and with STT<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stephen\u2019s latest trading epiphanies and updates<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A slew of other trading-related topics that haven\u2019t made it into recent episodes but are totally worthy of mention<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Trading Tips from Tim and Stephen<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of listeners are curious about what\u2019s going on in Stephen\u2019s trading career. Some of you are even sending private messages to Tim on social media to find out! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s end the suspense right here and now: In this episode, Stephen dishes on what\u2019s up in his trading life \u2014 losses, successes, struggles, and lessons learned. Tim and Stephen discuss some of Stephen\u2019s recent trades, analyzing what he could have done differently in some cases and how to use that knowledge moving forward. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listen in to learn invaluable lessons and tips about effective short selling, including what to look for in high-a-days and why waiting for a stock to \u2018crack\u2019 can be a smart approach. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stephen also imparts wisdom about how traders should be keenly aware of dilution. Why? Even if a stock has a float of 10 million, if 5 million shares are diluted, things may not be as hunky dory as they seem. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also learn key tips on how to refine trading strategies, including Tim\u2019s advice about how to be patient, back up, and take a long view of several stocks at once. Sometimes, if you\u2019re monitoring three to four runners, it can be tempting to just jump in and make a trade. But Tim makes a case for waiting to see which emerges strong. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Problem with Trading \u201cFor Fun\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the episode, Tim and Stephen discuss another key topic: Why traders must take their work seriously, even if they\u2019re just trading part-time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a part-time trader, you may have to fight the temptation to gamble a bit in your trades. After all, it\u2019s not your full-time job &#8230; right? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrong! It can be downright toxic to your account and progress. Our hosts explain why it\u2019s critical to adopt a healthier trading mindset. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>SteadyTrade and StocksToTrade News<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also some exciting new updates, including: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>SteadyTrade now has its own YouTube channel!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Previously, SteadyTrade episodes were uploaded to the StocksToTrade YouTube channel, but to avoid confusion and help you find the exact content you\u2019re looking for, we created a separate channel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC5pPaJfbfRHQ1msJ4bSj_dQ\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SteadyTrade channel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you\u2019ll find weekly episodes as well as shorter segments where Tim and Stephen discuss relevant news in the trading world.
