Investors should take a look at Whole Foods (WFM). This company is an American foods supermarket that has locations in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The chain specializes in natural and organic foods and has become quite popular in the communities where it is based. The first store was opened in Austin Texas, which serves as the corporate headquarters today. Beginning in 1980, four years later the company expanded to Houston and Dallas. In 1988 the company expanded to […]
For international investors figures don’t lie. The recovery in Europe overall is grinding to a halt. The Euro-zone grew just by 0.2% in the first quarter of 2014. That would only be 0.8% at an annual rate. The bright spot at the beginning of the year was Germany. The German economy had expanded at a rate of 0 .7% in the first quarter. As the 4th largest economy in the world and the biggest economy in the Europe, growth there was vital […]
We just introduced the WanderingTrader Lifestyle Podcast on our sister site, WanderingTrader.com. Since this is an interview with an amazing day trader and friend. We decided to post it here on the DTA blog. A couple of years ago I had the great pleasure of meeting Brice Peressini, another day trader traveling the world. At The Day Trading Academy we always come up with nick names for all of our Master Traders. It is…. a right of passage. When you have a […]
So far we have had good results with our stock watchlists. I know that many of you have been asking for direction in terms of how we pick our stocks. We also have a set number of trade setups that we look for in stocks. Since day trading E-minis is more advantageous as they are higher leveraged we also look for swing positions for stocks. That way it is much less work as we don’t have to research every single day the […]
Investors in silver might have been unaware that the price of silver has not determined by the market but rather set in the United Kingdom. This has been the case for the past 117 years. The practice of silver fixing began in 1897 at a London office of Sharps & Wilkins. The price of silver was determined with the aforementioned and the former dealers Mocatta & Goldsmid, Pixley & Abell, and Samuel Montagu & Co. For a hundred years traders took order […]
Investors in gold need to be aware that the government of the United States has been lying to the world for years. The national vaults of Fort Knox hold minimum reserves of gold or they are virtually empty. It is the only logical explanation to the nonsensical attitude being displayed by the United States Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank. There has been no federal or outside audit of the gold reserves being held in Fort Knox since 1953. President Eisenhower was […]
You read that title line right. It was written to both grab your attention and teach a very important lesson. This story starts with a contest we initiated in late 2012. As we always try to give back here at The Day Trading Academy (DTA) we launched the contest to give someone the opportunity to achieve their dreams through day trading. With the launch of our new Lifestyle Podcast on our sister site, WanderingTrader.com, we plan on having another contest in the near […]
It’s that time of the year again. Our efforts in Colombia have produced amazing results. Our first trader went live after 3 weeks and we just rented a larger office to house our trading center. Now it is time to introduce the Brazilian Master Trader that is going to help us open our center in Brazil. Guillherme, otherwise known as Giga withing the DTA community, is going to help us in Porto Alegre. We are looking to possibly have a beach house for […]
An investment in the real estate market of Greece at this moment is ideal if you are looking to take advantage of the fire side sale, now taking place. The worst economic crisis in modern Greek history has created a once in a life time opportunity, to buy property that was not affordable just 6 years ago. The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of Greece has shrunk by almost one-quarter, and real household disposable income has decreased by over one-third. Thousands of formerly […]
An investment in Canada can easily prove to be one of the safest moves an entrepreneur can make. Not only does Canada have a long tradition of respect for private property rights it has one of the most stable political systems in the world. As a former French colony until 1763 and later a British colony right up to 1867, there is a strong presence of both cultures in modern Canadian society. In the annual report of economic freedom produced by the […]
