Rich Dading Trading Class Real/

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I want to learn about trading and went to Rich Dad's free seminar. I ended up paying $12k to view their online courses. They are calling me now to offer the coaching and trading lab for another $7k. I start to feel more and more uneasy when they try to push and sell me more of their services.

 

Has anyone taken courses before from Rich Dad or if you know other better resources to take such classes and coaching? Is coaching an important step? Can anyone share what classes you take to learning trading?

 

I really appreciate your feedback and advice.

They are big on pushing this course in Asia & Aus as well as his name carries well everywhere. But when I guy puts in print "If I need a little extra cash I just go into the market and take it out when I want to", then I'd say they are full of sh*t. He makes some goods points, but I don't see trading the markets being a "specialty" area for them.

 

There are far better mentors for less money who are true professionals with real track records. Beware of those who "specialize" - Options, FX, Futures, daytrading etc. While there are differences between markets and instruments, these are addressed AFTER you understand how to trade. Price first, instruments and markets later.

thats why his name is Rich DAD cuz he is charging 12 k for an online course, for that i would be expecting a mentorship in an online chat room with live trading for a couple of months. Another 7k ..........19 k in total . There are good courses costing a lot less than that

Do research on the internet and see for yourself what kind of company is it.It`s a bunch of thieves trying to separate you from your money.Run for the hill is my advice to you.I`ve been with them and regret it very much.They will push as hard as they can to sell you as much as they can,but for the money you pay, this stuff is way-way overpriced.I learned my lesson the hard way,but you don`t have to.

fwiw, i've been actively trading since 2000 and full time for 3 years now....

 

never took a course or anything of the sort.

 

however, there's a boat load of free info out there to learn the basics.

 

one website that i refer a lot of folks to that has a lot of good free info is

 

Swing Trading Guide | Learn How to Trade Stocks Like a Pro!

 

great examples and Craig is a very good writer... also has something like 14 or more free e-books.

 

also Alan Farley's HRE (Hard Right Edge) website has a lot of helpful info... most of it is free.

 

Technical Analysis: Hard Right Edge technical analysis, swing trading and day trading tools, education and original strategies for day traders and swing traders

 

As for books... there's an short book (about 80 pgs.) by Ed Downs called 7 Chart Patterns that Consistently Make Money... was a good one and very simple plus he has some good tips on entry and exit targets.

 

setup a sim account (again, free at TOS or the like) and practice, practice, practice...

 

but 12k for a mentorship course??? no way man.

 

good luck

free to 12K...that's a slippery slope.

 

kiyosaki pushed r/e courses, books, a boardgame, in the 90's & 00's. that game has imploded & he has apparently moved into trading 'education materials'.

 

best advice: avoid all "pay me to learn to trade" types. all of them.

 

read, blog, and watch live charts. besides the interesting approaches that come up in your studies & that you'll want to fool around with, think about what you want, particularly what you want the process/results to look like - because the markets accommodate all of them & it is important that you own yours. don't be afraid of using metaphors, either, to describe "what it looks like" (except I think it wise to not use metaphors having to do with war, violence, etc..."surfing", or "I'm taking my little bucket down to the big river", etc.....

 

lots of screen time, lots of thinking about it, synthesizing........

Sure. How about we both build a rocket tomorrow. I'll hire a rocket scientist to pick his brain on how to do it. You can go start working on the discovery of the atom.

 

What we need is a set of rules and framework to work within. From this framework we can build our system, like using lego, rather than inventing the chemical compound for plastics. (that's two metaphors now).

 

Avoid - somebody teaching you "their system" as you won't have ownership and belief in it.

 

Do - seek out the building blocks you need to build a system. If somebody can give you those, all the better, why reinvent the wheel when you know working wheels exist (the issue is knowing if the wheel you buy works, or is just a replica of one that worked for somebody else).

 

I'll steal a quote to finish from John Carlton's blog :

 

"And a little mentoring can trigger massive leaps in figuring sh*t out."

 

Having somebody to ask when you hit the wall is all it takes. At times the process of writing the question alone, and not sending it, provides the answer. Accountability is key.

But trading isn't rocket science. In fact it is pretty darn simple, it's just not easy. As an example I have just read Curtis Faiths books on the Turtles. The first batch where taught to trade in 2 weeks, the second some time later they cut to 1 week. The approach was very simple though some found it hard to follow (I guess with 70% odd loosing trades not surprising!)

 

Anyway... I would say if you have the slightest doubt, pass. If you search around you will find a couple of threads on what to expect from a mentor, what a good one will likely expect of you and ideas of questions you should ask them. Try here and ET. If my memory serves a poster called 'NihabaAshi' was a contributor, that should help you narrow it down.

so trading is analogous to rocket science? and "mentors" are relatively simple to access? I think you've inverted things. are you a mentor?

 

There are plenty of good accessible mentors that don't overcharge. Finding them is the hard part. Finding one that suits you is harder again (one persons mentor is another persons waste of money).

 

Rocket science is actually pretty straight forward also ironically. Anybody can build a backyard rocket, many people try, but how many people really master it?

 

If you persist long enough eventually you overcome all obstacles no matter what you do.

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
