People always ask me what are the best investment books - specifically what I read to get the returns I get.  There are certainly great books out there, but not one book will teach you how to be a great investor or trader.

Only time and very expensive private lessons (read losing money) will teach you how to do it right. 

There is a difference between a "trader" and an "investor".  There is a slightly different strategy for trading, most traders don't care about the fundamentals of a company - therefore they treat everything as speculative. However, those traders are only part of the puzzle in my books.  The most successful people are the ones who balance the technicals with the fundamentals -- and it's really hard to know everything.  

In the immortal words of @urban_ryno, you can date technicals, you can marry fundamentals. That's a pretty awesome statement, and very applicable to our day to day trading.  In our case I like to balance both - so what better way to do it than to find the best of the best and sift through the b.s.?

The best investors have the following traits;

  • they have ice running through their veins
  • they understand investment grade stocks vs speculative ones
  • they enjoy red days sometimes as much as green days
  • they never dump an investment grade stock unless the story has changed
  • they have both "red" and "green" positions in their portfolio
  • they don't jump from stock to stock like a lotto
  • they know how to balance their own personal fear & greed while managing their money
  • when people are running away they are usually looking for blood
  • when they smell blood they pounce, and go in for the kill
  • they never follow the herd, they usually lead
  • they're usually loading while you're dumping
  • they pay it forward when they're making money (please don't forget this - give back when you can)

The best leaders surround themselves with incredibly smart people, or stars, and let them shine in their respective areas. 

There are no Oracles or Gods. 

Why is BULLS so awesome?  Why should you join?  ..because quite honestly, there are thousands of websites out there you can use - you could hire a broker - you could visit Twitter and decide who you want to follow on your own..... or, you could join BULLS where there is a team of experienced traders and investors who work together to cut out all the noise and B.S. you see on the internet.  We trade everything, from speculative stuff, to the best investments out there. We don't offer "investment advice" -- we simply make trades, full exposure, and give you a number of great learning / following tools.

When the markets go down, we support one another, reassure on the long investments.  Take CCME, for example, need I repeat what happened there?  ...because you know I'll just make most of you sick with the returns we made on it - especially on the mega dip day.  

There is no better alternative than BULLS, I've been doing this for 20 years, and I've never seen such an awesome way to collaborate and share investment research.   ..and even though some of you are great on your own, believe me you'll be exponentially stronger if you put your ego aside and collaborate with other experienced people in real time.

This site may have been created by accident, or as @meatstack said "Hubris created a competitor" -- whatever it is..   We love helping people -- and if you haven't had an opportunity to experience our premium blogs and Boom Factory you'll simply never know.  

So next time you ask me what book you should buy to be a great trader - Nevermind, you'll never find it.  BULLS is a great short cut across Wall Street though, it's hard to argue that.

I invite all our members, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Black to leave a testimonial here about what we mean to you - and whether we're worth it or not.

Thanks!

I'm a fourth year university finance student and as tough as it is to swallow, I have to admit, the little money I've invested in a premium membership with Bullsonwallstreet.com has been a way better investment in my future than the thousands I've spent on my degree. Bulls is a superior investment both financially and educationally. Those of you who are on the fence about joining, feel free to email me any questions or comments - bsk3@sfu.ca

I am learning and earning. It's that simple. Nothing but integrity and respect is found here at BOWS. No huge egos (well, Kunal...lol!) but I have NEVER been belittled or ignored or felt like I didn't belong. Kunal says, "the market doesn't care who you are" and it's so true. You can't bank on luck or hope but you can surround yourself with incredibly smart and savvy traders. I am a Black member and I made back my subscription cost in 48 hours. Now I am trading and gaining life-long skills as a trader. I love being part of Bulls and I would encourage anyone serious about learning disciplined investment and trading strategy to give Bulls a try. If you are willing to learn, you will only gain. Thank You, SG. This is truly an amazing community.

Although we enjoyed a 20+ year career in Professional Yachting, and met some wonderful people and visited some beautiful places, we have never been so excited about the family at BOWS. This new career and life style has done so much for us not only with the amazing dollars that are building up, but with the renewed "job" as we work together. Debra and I have always worked together as a team on boats of all sizes and are very excited to have this new outlet with the best people on our biggest "yacht" ever! Being a part of this crew will continue to take us on many many more great voyages! Thanks to all @ BOWS for creating this.....

If you want to learn to trade, make money doing it, and have allot of fun along the way. >>Join BOWS<< I first became a Gold member back before Black. In the first day I made more than the cost of my membership. Since then I’ve had the same experience in the Black room. But really the learning is what it’s all about, because that will last a lifetime. >>>Thank You BULLS<<<

I've been trading part time for almost 2 years, and full time since June of 2009. I've had to completely reassess my strategies and trading plan when I went 'full-time' but I had found SG, Kunal & Leigh on twitter as well as a host of other great traders. When they got together to form BOWS I was pretty excited. I started out wondering how they were going to pull off this website when there are so many different people out there from different walks of life with completely different trading experiences and time allowances. After watching the main page feed and seeing the action in the gold and black boom factories, it's clear. Bulls on Wall Street is to each person whatever they need it to be. If you want to come here and learn how to trade options from one of the greatest traders(not to mention nicest ladies) on the planet.... it's here. If you want to swap ideas about momentum stock plays with amazing chart readers... it's here. If you want to sit quietly back in the corner and just

We've had 11 working days with BOWS since we got our Black Premium membership and we've made $9213.23 and are learning options hands on with Leigh. It's a pretty amazing community and we look forward to logging in every morning and hate to have to stop when the market closes. We get nothing for saying it, but Bulls On Wall Street really is a hell of a deal if you're serious about learning and making money. -Melissa and Rob

I had the corner office. It was a twenty-five year climb up the corporate ladder. When I had finally reached the top - something was missing. I felt empty. I had never pursued my dream job of becoming an investor. I left my corporate world and I gave investing my best efforts for two years. Two years of stumbling, some luck, chasing the market, dissappoint and fear. I joined BOWS in December and now I just can't wait to get to my trading job everyday. My success in two months makes me giddy when I think where I will be in two years. I love the hands-on approach in learning to become an investor. I love the community of experienced and novice investors coming together in one big classroom. I am on a new journey and I am thankful to be travelling with such an extraordinary group of people.

I purchased my first stock in October 2007. Remember where the DOW was at? As you can imagine my experiences with the stock market had been up and (mostly!) down until this past summer when I came across @copperstl on Twitter. I thought why not follow her? Immediately I had questions regarding her picks, her tweets etc. and I always received answers. Someone who I had never met, was helping me make money and more importantly learning a skill that is and can be difficult to master. Here I am several months later still learning every single day from not only @copperstl but also from @kunal00, @urban_ryno and @stockgod. The community they have built and continue to build is amazing and is the result of their dedication to teach others and share their knowledge. It truly has been a blessing to come across such a great group of people. Thanks BOWS!

i found kunal from a search in which i stumbled upon wmsco. liked his style. stockgod came along with some others i wont mention. liked his style as well. then they found copper who has the patience of a saint - you guys do as well. just getting to know ryno but looks like a great match - this is getting to long anyway i am 40 and most of my ira disappeared like many others and these good folks have helped me make most of my money back in the same amount of time it was lost. thanx to you all.

It does not matter how you get to the BOWS community. Just get here. You cannot get in a book, or go to a seminar, or watch TV, and get what is offered through Leigh(Copperstl), Kunal, Ryan(Urban_Ryno), or Stockgod. Hands on, and in the trenches with you. If you sold $CCME on its financing announcement, you were not in the Gold Room buying, and missing 40% since then.

It's pretty amazing, reading these and other testimonials, how much BOWS is selling itself, through the genuine excitement and enthusiasm of its actual customers (teammates- better word). What's REALLY amazing is it doesn't matter your past experience; this is the place that offers it all - training, VERY live experience, and wonderful commraderie. BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!

I am a premium GOLD member. There is not too much I can ad to all the previous testimonials. They are all true. I feel blessed everyday that I found the BOWS community. I started as a complete novice to investing and now I am in control of my own finances including a 401K and I have made some money. I am a quiet member but any questions or comments I have I am treated with value. I was told "this is a journey and we are in it together". I appreciate BOWS everyday and will soon be a BLACK member. It is an amazing place!!

i am a BLACK member and have been following @stockgod and @kunal00 since April 2009 on twitter. I can't wait to see what the crew comes up with here. There are good people at BOWS that really care and want you to make money. I have taken all my money out of Mutual Funds and 401ks and I am trading with world-class people that happen to also know how to kill the market! I am so excited to be on the ground floor of such a great group. My account is up 20% in 2 months. those index funds i had are up 4%. need i say more?

Jan 20 2010 2:13PM
I have been quietly following @stockgod, @kunal00, @copperstl and @urban_ryno since April and I made money with each one. Now they are in one place and teaching us some of their methods while they help us make money. I have more than paid for my membership just like everyone else. But even more, I am getting an education that is priceless and having fun doing it. I am not verbal in the boom rooms, but I am there when I can be. It is great even if you can't be there all the time. Thanks BOWS.

I am a premium gold member.It would not be a flattery to say you can make your membership fee or even 2-3 times more everyday even if you are trading with as little as 10K in the boom factory. 2-3 10-20% profit plays everyday.

Stockgod is a star! He put together this awesome site and gave us the very best traders to teach us. Everyday, I wake up and can not wait to log on to the boom factory. I am amazed with the amount of knowledge Rahul, Leigh, Kunal and Ryan give us. They hold your hands thru trades and keep all of us smiling with their great humor. I am hoping someone is keeping a log of the boom factory as it would make an awesome book one day. I am so happy to be a part of this trading family!

Being new to trading, joining the boom factory was one of the best decisions I've made. Having recovered the dues in two weeks, I'm steadily building a wealth of knowledge that will serve me a lot more than occasional stock picks. I hope to spend more time during the day in the boom factory in coming weeks. I was as hesitant as many initially, but following the honesty and commitment of BOWS traders on twitter made me press the buy button - and its a long-term hold for me... Thanks BOWS...

Jan 20 2010 2:46PM
I have noticed a trend. The best days to be a gold member is the bloody red ones! There is no greater feeling as a longterm/swing investor than seeing the dow down 200 points and seeing your account up significantly. Kunals amazing boooom plays keep you ahead on the worst of days. Combine this with Stockgods "court vision" and you get the insight and confidence to stay in the game. BOWS premium has gone from being a luxury to a necessity. If you're looking for fair and honest humbled and refined than there is no greater place than bows premium

We get Step by Step trading through live trades if we choose or use a virtual account as they recommend while getting one of the best educations ever. No book will give you these skills or this clear of an understanding of how to trade the current market and what it all means. Premium Kaboom room will pay your debts so you can pay it forward. These guys and that one really hot chick are selfless and not self absorbed. They're really fun and cool to hang with while bankin' on swings, scalps, and building l/t stock and option positions. As a matter of fact everyone around here is so cool I can't wait to get logged on and spend my day with them. We are rockin' this market from all angles. Thanks to all of you at Bulls!!!

As a Premium BLACK member of BOWS i want to emphasize that the comment " The best leaders surround themselves with incredibly smart people, or stars, and let them shine in their respective areas." is SO true. The advantage of BOWS is that not only are you surrounded by star investors, but also u can regularly commuinicate with them and consider them your personal mentors. Tell that to JIM CRAMER!

Trading full time would be a dream come true. With the BOWS team I can see the dream become a reality. With all the other comments not much left to be said. Except I wake up every morning and first thing I become so excited that it is a trading day. Yesterday twitter was down and I could not get into the "Boom Factory" I seriously started to have withdrawals, felt a panick attack coming on. @copperstl refers to us as a "family" and truer words were never spoken, we have so much fun. Even if you do not want to participate just following along reading the chat stream you will definitely learn effective trading strategies. The day I found StockGod on Twitter was indeed a great day for me and I look forward to many more great days ahead. A big Thank You to the BOWS Team.

I've traded markets for years, but found it a lonely pursuit on an uneven playing field. BOWS captures, leverages and filters the emerging community of individual online traders collaborating on research, sharing ideas, picks and pitfalls in real time. As online poker has done for the new generation of poker stars, accelerating their learning curve and compressing a decade of experience into a single year; so too does BOWS for the online trader!! This is an incredible experiment to participate in! Join us as we ride this wave to its heights.
