The question on every trader and investor’s mind as we head into autumn is, has the stock market bottomed? Both for 2022, and in general. We’re going to paint a good picture for perspective, because you can’t just ask what to buy and sell without having a good overall perspective. In Serge’s opinion, we’re just about to head into the second half of the bear market ballgame, with a focus on economic deterioration.

Both Europe and the US are seeing very poor consumer confidence. We do still see people spending with inflation on the rise, but it’s important to understand that consumer spending doesn’t turn around on a dime. By the end of the year, we’ll probably see a sharp downturn. This trend will also affect the housing market pretty drastically. To stay on top of these trends and new ones as they arise, make sure to sign up for the free newsletter at thesteadytrader.com.

What You’ll Learn:

• What an actual economic downturn looks like.
• What the average S&P return is and what it is currently.
• How Covid impacted the stock market.
• What the ISM manufacturing index is.

Consistency is key, and the host of the How To Trade It Podcast, Casey Stubbs, is here to share why. First, you have to be able to define consistency as it relates to trading. For Casey, it means having a very clear process, and following it day in and day out. He tends to grade himself on how consistent he was over the actual outcome. With a long term plan, as long as you’re consistent, you’re going to see improvements.

That’s not to say that different markets won’t change the way you trade. That also doesn’t mean you swing at every pitch. Pass on everything until what you’re really looking for comes along, and then attack it with consistency. When trading, it’s just you and that’s it. You have to hold yourself accountable. It takes integrity to stick to your process.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why consistency should be a top priority for traders.
• How to identify changes in macro trends.
• Why patience is a cornerstone to trading success.
• And much more!!

Here to discuss the top three investor and trader mistakes, is Serge’s partner from Blue Marlin Advisors, Brian Terry. When thinking about the top mistakes, both men came up with the same three. One thing these mistakes have in common is psychology and minimizing emotions. With trading being more of an art than a science, Serge has found that people with a strong academic background tend to struggle the most, as they’re more by the book. Luckily, all three of these mistakes can be fixed.

The first mistake has to do with patience. No one can expect to become a great trader overnight. It takes a commitment of time, energy, and learning from your mistakes. Resist the urge to jump in immediately, take the time to develop a plan, and make calculated decisions. Next up is risk management. It’s all about position sizing and managing what you have at risk. Once again, without a plan, every decision becomes emotional. Last, but not least, is being macro-aware. You must understand where we are in the business cycle. After all, it’s the dog that wags the tail, not the other way around.

What You’ll Learn:

• What makes a good investing game plan.
• What revenge trading is and why to avoid it.
• What it means to be macro aware.
• What two conditions move the market.

There’s no doubt about it, we’re in a bear market.  Accepting that is half the battle. The other half lies in looking at the bigger picture and not panicking.  We all know that’s easier said than done, as people understandably react emotionally when it comes to their money. We can build a better perspective when we understand that history tends to rhyme rather than repeat.

With the average duration of a bear market being 11 months, Serge predicts this one will have an above average duration and depth. Only 5 months into it, we could be looking at another year before a rebound. It’s easy to make rash decisions, but focusing on the big picture and staying the course is probably your best bet. Serge goes over the dos and don’ts of both investing and trading during this volatile time.

What You’ll Learn:

• What a bear market is.
• What to do if your portfolio is down.
• How to be more proactive with trading.
• What really matters in the grand scheme of things.
