Summary of Gil Morales & Chris Kacher's In The Trading Cockpit with the O'Neil Disciples

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 One of the most fundamental principles of trading and investing is that you should select and stick with a methodology that suits your personal psychological makeup. The OWL ethos is based on the investing philosophies of three great traders: William O'Neil, Richard Wyckoff, and Jesse Livermore. #2 A shopping expedition is when you go shopping for stocks when they are the cheapest.
A hobby is when you dabble in the markets and thus avoid the stress of getting overly involved. A business is purchasing raw materials at cost and developing those materials into high-demand products that can be sold at a price much greater than the cost. #3 The four types of tips are: a. The tip sounds good yet in reality it may be outside your particular trading discipline and strategy. b. The tip is a false rumor.
c. Tips usually turn out to be false, but if you take one tip thinking it is true and you end up making money on it, you may be more likely to take tips in the future. #4 There is satisfaction in out-thinking the market, but there are many variables that can change between now and the future that can throw off your prediction. The best way to predict the future is to focus on what the market is telling you now, today.
