Moonlighting in the market is for people who want to learn how to profit from the stock market, have fun doing it and are willing to put in the work that it takes to do the job. We don’t want to become stock brokers or anything like that. We already have a day job. But we enjoy the stock market and the lessons that it has to teach us about the world we live in. We take our stock market trading seriously and enjoy the lessons that it has to teach. Learning these lessons is like a second job to us. So we will be Moonlighting In The Market…

Simply put we are here to learn about the world and what works and what doesn’t. A great way to see this is to watch the market. The stock market. We can profit or lose from the lessons the world has to teach us. So it is our job to shine some light on the things that matter. So we can learn, profit and then help others to profit as well…

Stock trading is like any other purchase. You determine the value of what you want to buy. The thing about stocks, that you want to keep in mind, is that you know that you eventually want to sell and to sell at a profit. So you need to know what the value of your stock will be in the future. Problem: We can’t predict the future. So we have to make an educated guess about the future and keep our goals in mind. So understanding that stocks are just fractional ownership of a company and that companies are just groups of people trying to serve the interests of their people in the company and their people outside of it. We will start to put things in perspective by keeping score of things. What is the most popular way to keep score these days? Money… So we watch the price. As it goes up and down, we will watch the trends over time. Profit and loss. Taking profits when we can and protecting ourselves from loss as much as possible. Being honest with ourselves about what we know and what we don’t. Learning from our failures and enjoying success!

Learning the lessons of the market over time is why we are here…

As we evaluate any market plays, we must be honest with ourselves and learn the lessons of loss as much as we learn from our success. All the while we must protect ourselves from ourselves as well as others who are out to take advantage of us. We only take reasonable appropriate risks with proper protections for our situations. Enjoy taking profits and learn from taking losses… It is all about the basics and the trend, my friend.
