The Status Quo

The Status Quo

More than 38 million working-age households (45 percent) do not own any retirement account assets, whether in an employer-

sponsored 401(k) type plan or an IRA.

The Status QuoWhen all households are included— not just

households with retirement accounts—the median retirement account balance is $3,000 for all working-age households and $12,000 for near-

retirement households. Two-thirds of working households age 55-64 with at least one earner

have retirement savings less than one times their annual income, which is far below what they will

need to maintain their standard of living in retirement.

The Status Quo

A large majority of households fall short of conservative retirement savings targets for

their age and income based on working until age 67. Based on retirement account assets,

92 percent of working households do not meet targets.

Enter Day Trading

What Simple Day Trading Is Not

Investopedia - investor who attempts to profit by making rapid trades intraday. A day trader often closes out all trades before the market close and does not hold any open positions overnight. Some day traders use leverage to magnify the returns generated from small stock price movements.

What Simple Day Trading Is Not

SEC.gov - Day traders rapidly buy and sell stocks throughout the day in the hope that their stocks will continue climbing or falling in value for the seconds to minutes they own the stock, allowing them to lock in quick profits.

What Day Trading Is

The Trader – Day traders reduce/control their risk while simultaneously improving the probability and likelihood of growing their accounts exponentially through the 8th Wonder of the World… Compounding. We look for high probability circumstances to expose ourselves to risk in order to “make a little each day.” True day traders DO NOT take overnight risk.

Why It WorksCompounding

“Consider, for example, the following puzzle. I give you a large piece of paper, and I ask you to fold it over once, and then

take that folded paper and fold it over again, and then again, and again, until you have refolded the original paper 50 times. How tall do you think the final stack is going to be? In answer

to that question, most people will fold the sheet in their mind’s eye, and guess that the pile would be as thick as a

phone book or, if they’re really courageous, they’ll say that it would be as tall as a refrigerator. But the real answer is that

the height of the stack would approximate the distance to the sun. This is an example of what in mathematics is called a

geometric progression.“-- The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
