His Journey Started in the 1990's!

Author: ClayTrader October 2, 2023 Duration: 1:05:10
Driving to your local brokerage in order to set up an account and place an order. This order to purchase a stock cost you $80 in commissions. How crazy would that be? It sounds like something form a horror movie, doesn't it? My guest this episode, Darrel, started out in this kind of environment. It makes my head hurt just how barbaric the markets uses to be and just how much I take for granted on a daily basis. Darrel's journey started in the 1990's and when you have that kind of experience, you'll have plenty of stories to share along the way. Darrel did not hesitate to shares the downs (the "ups" are easy to share) and there are some great learning lessons within them. As always, for those of you willing to listen and genuinely consider the points he makes, I can say with full confidence there is great value in them. There are some areas where I lose credibility (as you'll see); however, this is someone else preaching the same thing I do. Let's get to it!
