Just beyond the window of my classroom in the 5th grade was the back of one of the first Wal-Marts in America. Every time I gazed outside, massive potential riches stared back at me -- I just didn't know it at the time.

 

Sam Walton took his company public about a year later. If any of us 5th graders had invested some lawn mowing and part-time job money in Wal-Mart shares, we could easily have earned a down payment on a modest starter home by the time we reached adulthood.

 

Sure, 11 year olds generally don't have investing opportunities dancing around in their heads. But no matter one's age, people too often fail to see potential opportunity. In some way we can all relate to the Acres of Diamonds story, where the adventurer who seeks riches the world over eventually discovers a diamond deposit in his own backyard.

 

Perhaps you're overlooking one or more opportunities this very minute.

 

But if you at least look for opportunities, you're ahead of most. Those who seek are more likely to find.

 

Granted, some types of "looking and finding" require training -- like identifying constellations in the night sky, or finding a particular single-celled organism among others while looking into a microscope.

 

The same principle applies to financial markets.

 

To be a successful trader, you must learn what to look for -- like price patterns and technical indicators. To "wing it" can very quickly become very expensive. Yes, some successful traders do receive their "market education" in this way. But, again, the "tuition" is often high -- both financially and in the number of sleepless nights.

 

Even after you learn the types of trading set-ups you are most comfortable trading, you still have to manage risk. The best traders still get it wrong sometimes. Yet the individuals who consistently come out ahead have all developed the self-discipline to not be their own worst enemies. This just stands to reason.
