About
I used to be a political activist in 1987, when I experienced firsthand how sensitive financial markets could react to small and seemingly unrelated actions, especially if markets are nervous.
This raised my interest in financial markets, and I observed their behavior continuously for over 20 years by now, although I never traded.
In 2001 I observed the power of a bubble, and how governments can induce utterly irrational market behavior. The German government sold its shares of Deutsche Telekom using TV-spots as if it were a detergent, and the price went up to roughly 100 Euro per share. After the sale the shares lost 90 per cent of its value in no time.
I witnessed the following rally until summer 2007. And I saw the last three months of 2008, when the total collapse of the global financial system was only avoided by an agreement of all meaningful players to save the system by ignoring all problems. Accounting practices have been introduced which only two years earlier would have carried a risk of a long prison term for everybody involved.
The last quarter of 2008 also created my desire to anticipate what markets would do, because I was really scared about the political fallout of a collapse of the international financial system. I feared violence and riots, and was agonizing whether it wasn’t a grave mistake for our family to remain in Germany, especially because my wife is African.
And, as the saying goes, when the student is ready, the teacher will arrive. I am thankful up to this day to Clayton Makepeace – as an example for his copywriting – to a bunch of really thoughtful and knowledgeable people at Weiss Research.
Following their information for a little over a year, I feel now much more confident in analyzing and understanding the inner working of global capital markets.
And then, last February, God sent me the opportunity to buy publishing rights for Trading-Pro-System, a really great video tutorial explaining all the technical aspects of trading with confidence in global financial markets.
In this blog I will try to connect the insights I got and get from Weiss research and other financial publications with the insights and techniques coming from Trading-Pro-System.
This is not intended and will not be investment advice in any way. All information is strictly food for thought. My aim is to help as much people as possible to cut through the system of mirrors and smoke created by our beloved governments and other interested parties, sold in the main stream media as truth.
And if you should decide that you want to derive a profit from your thoughts and analysis, I can show you some tools which allow you to go that way step by step, with the right mindset. You will be able to trade with confidence, knowing exactly what you do. This way you have the chance to take only the risks you choose, without depending on a bank advisor who has to accommodate the interests of his employer first, before thinking about the best steps for you.
