Ok hold onto your hat – this one will blow you away….
February 2022 saw global markets continue their fall following on from the Russian invasion of the Ukraine as well as other geopolitical events.
But just because the market is falling, shouldn’t make any difference to your stock market investments. Sound a bit crazy to you – it would to most, as their belief is that you only make your money when the market goes up.
This month’s Trader of The Month is a classic example of letting go of the widely held misbeliefs that so many people carry around without ever questioning them.
This client is a lovely bloke – been a client for a number of years now, is busy running his Dental practice as well as 4 kids at home. In spite of that, he has continued to ply his trading skills to the market and absolutely belts it.
What’s more, this is no one-hit-wonder as he is also a previous Trader of The Month – which goes to show how important it is to continue applying yourself over time.
How about 441% or 155% or 72% or 112% to be amongst some of the profit that you banked on your trades?
Please join me in congratulating Josh Green on his trading success as well as his Trader Of The Month Award.

No question about it, these kinds of results don’t come about by accident – there has been plenty of work done by Josh – as well as the momentum that has resulted in his success. Yet so many sit back and watch their investments get buffeted by the market, resigned to having an average year again.
Life comes down to choice and it’s great to see people make the choice to take more control of their future.
Please once again join me in congratulating Josh Green on another stellar month and another successful trader of the Month Nomination.
Great work buddy and look forward to chatting soon.
If you have yet to, make sure you check out how we help our clients enjoy these kinds of results from the market.
