Where can people find you?

I put a lot of free content on Twitter under the username @Upticken. I also run GrowthStockMentor.com, a paid mentoring service offered by me where I simply answer questions about the markets for a few hours each week.

I guarantee there is no other hedge fund manager that works for the money like me and provides a service like GrowthStockMentor. And I give my kids money to go to college, so it's for good reason. Gold nuggets extra

Never make excuses - don't get stuck in a vicious cycle of why you can't do things.

Trying to understand exponential versus linear trends - scaled out, layout is exponential.

Liquidity, profit buffering, and sentiment are three of the most underrated and misunderstood aspects of trading.

If you are trading individual stocks, never average a loser. The market tells you you were wrong. The worst that can happen is instant money in trading – very few people are self-aware that they don't need to lose to learn. Most people take to learn. To learn how to trade, you must not only realize yourself, but also have a high level of self-actualization.

It's more than just a stop loss at the start of a trade. It's also about selling when things change in a position where you've made a big profit. Don't think that since you have 30 years of experience you can't screw it up. Not only can you ruin it, but you will.

I have a rule that the trade I just made on one stock must be profitable before I make another trade in the same direction. So if I buy a stock at 70, the next buy must be above 70. If I sell at 70, the next sell must be below. This rule keeps me from getting emotional because even though I feel the stock is about to hit 60, I can't sell until it confirms my trend. You never really know anything in trading, so you have to let the market tell you whether you're right or wrong.

Conclusion

Thanks for reading! I hope you learned as much as I learned from this interview with Jim Roppel. It's hard to convey through a transcript, but its whole presence exudes optimism and it's quite motivating.

Jim only discovered the CAN SLIM method when he was 30 years old and has since created a hedge fund that manages hundreds of millions of dollars. So with everything I learned about business from talking to him, it is clear that if you have the drive, responsibility and long-term determination, the results will be felt in the long run!.
