How to be an empowered investor and beat every active mutual fund.Protect your nest egg with this week’s episode. Gary Stone author of Blueprint to Wealth discusses the massive underperformance of mutual funds and how everyday investors can accrue millions more profit over their working life by investing in ETFs and Index Funds.  You don’t need to be a share trader…. you just need good common sense…. and 15 minutes every three months. Also hear Louise Bedford assure you that a little more pressure and education will turn you into a trading diamond. Mindpower – Louise Bedford - Act As IfIf you act the way you want to feel your feelings will follow. Action precedes feeling.You want to be a better trader then do the things that fantastic traders do.You may not be a trading diamond yet but you are a wonderful piece of coal. A bit of extra pressure, education and focus then you will become the trader you are meant to be. Blueprint to Wealth - Gary StoneEverybody can be an investor.Everybody can beat EVERY active mutual fund.Everyone can retire on a large nest egg.But the active mutual funds industry doesn’t want you to believe that otherwise they lose money in fees. So they make it sound hard… they spread myths…they give incomplete information about your money and say you can’t manage it yourself.Gary Stone’s interview proves the exact opposite is true. You can manage your nest egg yourself and be millions of dollars better off when you retire.There are major 2 reasons Active Mutual Funds underperform:Fee FleecingDiversificationThese two aspects combined means over the term of your working life you are losing millions of dollars through the power of compounding. A 32 year old starting with $40 000 and planning to retire at 67 and contributing $6 000 per year will forfeit 53% of their nest egg or 1.5 million dollars through fees and diversification.Einstein said ‘The power of compounding was the 8th wonder of the world. And those who understand it earn it and those that don’t pay it.’Research repeatedly proves that the majority of mutual funds cannot match let alone beat the stock market indices over any period of time. Index Funds and ETF’s are the solution for the everyday investor and you don’t need to be a share trader.A long-term strategy taking 15 minutes every 3 months is enough to ensure you grow your nest egg.

Hear how greatness is where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep hunger and the slogan for the rich. Also get deep inside Louise Bedford’s head in this episode as she shares some personal words from her morning journal and asks you ‘What is your personal manifesto for today?’ Louise Bedford - Your Personal ManifestoTo master anything you need to pay attention to the masters.Hear how Louise Bedford ticks... how she thinks... how she inspires herself... as she shares an excerpt from her morning journal on her personal manifesto for the day. Barbara StannyBarbara Stanny learnt the hard way...Her husband was a compulsive gambler.Once she left him she got a tax bill for over 1 million dollars.That is when she got SMART: If you don’t deal with your money your money will deal with you.For Barbara, sacred success is pursuing your soul's purpose for your own bliss and the benefit of others while being richly rewarded.The primary purpose of sacred success and creating affluence is achieving your greatness and Barbara defines greatness as 'That place where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep hunger'.So how do you find your purpose?The number one thing to go to the next level is to do what you don’t think you can do.If you ask under earners when was the last time they did something they feared, they would say a long time ago, but if you ask high earners the same question they laugh and say it is a way of life.High earners slogan: ‘If it is not illegal or immoral just say yes’.The second thing is to Surround yourself with support: you become whom you are with.Under earners tend to hang out with naysayers, worry warts and pessimists. They are scared. High earners surround themselves with people who are playing at the level they want toUnder earners tend to hang out with naysayers, worry warts and pessimists. They are scared. High earners surround themselves with people who are playing at the level they want to playing. They find role models who inspire them to play a bigger game.Women who earn big money may be confident but they still struggle with self-doubt and fear. But the difference between them and under earning women is they didn’t let it affect them. They feel the self-doubt and do it anyway.

Hear how those mini building blocks can create a whole new life in this week’s episode of Talking Trading. Mentoree Andrew Woodward discusses how the Mentor Program, and learning to trade with the six inches between his ears, led to creating a whole new business for himself. And Louise Bedford challenges you to treat yourself like a toddler for a day in order to manifest your BIG goals. Treat Yourself Like a ToddlerRelentless work does not necessarily make you more effective.Louise sees many traders marching to the steps of burnout. If you are a habitually busy person what can you do to get out of that spiral which is not productive?Louise’s Challenge.  For one day think of yourself as a toddler - look after yourself as a toddler - do everything you can to treat yourself with care and nurture.Breakdown those big scary tasks into micro-building blocks. Do each building block in succession and you will be surprised how quickly that BIG goal comes to fruition. Andrew WoodwardAndrew Woodward defines himself as a Wealth Creationist.The share market was the perfect environment to explore his fascination with numbers in a way that led to making money. But Andrew knows even the best strategies won’t prepare you for the mental challenges in the markets.Both the wins and the losses can challenge the space between your ears and Andrew endured a string of 11 consecutive losses in the commodity markets that had him second-guessing himself.But Chris and Louise’s advice ‘Keep taking the signals’ kept him plugging away until his faith was restored and he could revel in being a pig for a period.He has learned that patience is the key in the markets.He has changed since doing the Mentor Program; he is a better person and trader. His energy with trading has even led him to starting his own business in wealth creation.His advice to new traders: 10 years ago was the best time to do the Mentor Program. The second best time is today.

Wake up with this week’s episode of Talking Trading as we talk to life coach Ken D Foster on how to create success and live your greatness. Hear his energy enjoy his passion and soak up his wisdom. Also be inspired by Louise Bedford’s psychological tactic of talking to your inner mentor. Louise BedfordTalk to your inner mentor.Imagine you your best version of yourself in 10 or 20 years into the future…. talk to them, ask them questions, visualize them. Inside all of us is great guidance, strength and wisdom, and this technique allows wisdom from your older self to flow towards you now…to help you…Your older wiser mentor will lead you closer to living your ideal trader's life. Ken D FosterKen D Foster has a PhD in results.He has been life coaching for 22 years and studied great minds in many areas to see what creates success for people. There are 3 key things successful people do.Successful people ask the right questionsYou have 60 000 thoughts a day but they are the same thoughts as yesterday and the day before. If you want to expand your mind, ask the right questions.  Everyone has the answers to succeed but most people don’t spend the time in solitude to get the answers, which is the second thing successful people do.Successful people meditateAs Leonardo Da Vinci said  “Isolation is the path to greatness.’Ken believes when you slow down to succeed you start asking the right questions and you get the right answers, you move in different directions and you start doing things which you thought were impossible. You start living your vision. Which is the third thing successful people do.Successful people have vision and goal set The Latin root of COURAGE means to speak your truth and it takes great courage to tune into what you really want in life, speak your truth and execute it. Successful people ask what are the action steps and what could get in the way to accomplish their vision.To find out more Ken and Stars of Courage which is taking life coaching out to the underprivileged go to: www.kendfoster.com or www.starsofcourage.org

Stock Market Wizard, Mark D Cook, is this week’s guest on Talking Trading. From a small country town of 1000 people in Ohio, Mark became one of the most famous traders in the world. Hear how an outgoing farmer became a share trader, the details of that famous Options story which put him into negative net worth, how he developed the Cook Cumulative Indicator and why he entered the US Investing Championship. Get ready for the extrovert from Ohio and why he says:  There is always an opportunity to make money in the market. His job is to find that opportunity.  Mark D CookMark D Cook became a trader because of a cow…Elsie the Cow secured him his first job in the markets and started his life long love affair. ‘It has been the best career I ever could have had.’ Mark said. ‘I have made more money trading than in any other profession.’But at one stage Mark almost lost it all.In 1982 he sold naked option calls and got caught in the manipulation of a squeeze.  He lost all of his and some of his mother’s money and went into serious negative net worth.He was devastated….he almost quit….But when he told his mother ‘We have lost a lot of money Mum’ her response was simply to say, ‘Oh thank goodness I thought you had cancer. How soon will you be able to get this money back?’Within 5 years Mark Cook was a millionaire.In his determination to make back the money he lost Mark worked around the clock studying the internals of the market. Since then he has been impeccable, disciplined and religious about risk management.Mark loves all aspects of the market, he loves looking at different viewpoints of the market and he keeps a daily diary of market movements. He looks for facts about the markets not opinions. ‘Lose your opinions not your money.’ He preaches to his students.In his study Mark worked on the Cook Cumulative Indicator to show price movements overlaid on volume and time. It is what he credits made him a million dollar trader.To satisfy his competitive edge in 1991 Mark entered the US Investing Championship against other stock Market Wizards. He came first with a blistering return of 564%. Since then he has been on the map as one of the most successful share traders. His credo is ‘If I trade I will make money.’Hear part 1 of his interview on Talking Trading this episode.
