The Bull Hunters Guide

Learning about the US Stock Market or any market for that matter takes time and this handy eBook is here as a reference of how companies come to be listed on the US Stock Market and how the market operates and what makes it tick. The Bullhunters Guide to the US Stock Market is available to download here now.

Over the next few weeks I will be taking excerpts from the Bullhunter eBook so we can break it down a little and get to know it better.

We should all know that no one person owns Wal-Mart (WMT) or any company for that matter which is listed on the stock exchange.  From the eBook…

The Walton family, famous for having five of America’s ten richest people amongst its ranks, does not own Wal-Mart either. Even Sam Walton the legendary founder of the world’s largest private employer did not own Wal-Mart for the final few decades of his life. At least not entirely.

Wal-Mart is a Public Corporation owned by its shareholders. A public corporation is a company whose stock is traded on one of the major exchanges, the NASDAQ, the OTCBB or the Pink Sheets.

The vast majority of public corporations are required to register with the SEC which is the Securities and Exchange Commission. This is the governmental body charged with maintaining and regulating the financial markets in America.

So unlike Mr Fenders corner store or Bob’s chain of supermarkets (fictional entities not listed on the stock exchange), you can be an owner of Wal-Mart too. All you need is a brokerage account and enough money to purchase one share. Currently trading at just below $50USD.

Sam Walton was known as a man who never took chances and was regarded as a leader rather than a follower. He grew up during the depression and it seemed that he was always fighting an uphill battle which did not perturb him at all.

He was a man of vision and when he first incorporated Wal-Mart, it was because the growth was happening very quickly and he could not expand unless he took investors on.  This was the birth of the Wal-Mart company on the US Stock Market.

We have previously talked about Sean Rasmussen from Universal Wealth Creation who generously wrote and made this guide available as a free download for us getting a second eBook instalment from The Bullhunters Guide out so come on in and show him some support and patience as he is busily gathering information to put it together. I for one cannot wait to read about being a Sharelord ® and renting shares.  Can you…

One very common statement I hear from people about the stockmarket is that it is too risky. We hear many Stockmarket Fears and Myths in society. For instance, what is too risky?

Warren Buffet once said: “Risk is Not Knowing what you are doing”

What he meant was this: When people know what they are doing, they have good results. When they are uneducated about it, they have poor results.

You can send your 5 year old child on his bike onto the highway and call it very risky. However, when you ride your bike on the same highway, you might perceive the risk a bit different. I dare say you will call it a low risk. You might have 20 - 30 years of bike riding experience. You would even consider a 20 year old a low risk on the highway, even though the experience level isn’t all that great.

So how come the very same highway is low risk to some and high risk to others? Well, it’s simply isn’t it? Different levels of experience and education.

Then why do people generalize about the stockmarket and say it is too risky? Aren’t they just saying that it is too risky for them because they know little or nothing about it? I don’t think I’m going out on a limb here.

So we can’t really tell people that the stockmarket is risky. We need to say the stock market is risky to the uneducated person. Just like anything else in life.

This is what I have done to remove the risk from my dealings in the stock market:

I’ve educated myself about it.

I’ve read books, taken educational programs, gotten involved in forums and generally growing my knowledge in an area I know is benefiting me and future generations of my family. Not to mention charities that now enjoy donations from me.

Of course this is only a good idea if it appeals to you earning an income from this kind of investing. My ebook: The Bullhunters Guide to the US Stock Market won’t help you make money in a great hurry. What it does is explain simple things in the DOW JONES index that you can build upon with more advanced investment knowledge.
The next edition will take things much further. Hopefully you will be able to understand the concepts of Renting Shares and being a Sharelord ® along with plenty of other stock exchange concepts.

My good mate, US Sharelord ® Nik Halik emailed me from South America recently after subscribing to my Bull Hunters Guide to the US Stock Market Blog. It’s great to have good company in this industry and there are no other people in the Wealth Creation Education Industry that I would rather be associated with than guys like Nik Halik and Jamie McIntyre.

His email reminded me of the lifestyle that can easily be achieved when you have your finances in a healthy state. It is important to have a life outside of work. I now know many people that have earned a good life from learning and mastering these wealth strategies. It is important to note that the Stock Market strategies alone are not enough to achieve steady wealth. Not in my mind anyway. Many will differ to that opinion.

To me, it’s important to apply synergy to your Wealth Building Investments. Most wealthy people I know make cashflow from the Stock Market or Business and build equity in Real Estate through domestic, commercial or industrial property investments. To the normal Mum & Dad investor, domestic property is what they understand. However when it comes to the Stock market, many choose not to educate themselves and put their money in the hands of Fund Managers and Financial Advisors who then are in charge of Mum & Dads hard earned money.

Well, like it or not: It’s you! Even though the Fund Manager or Financial Advisor gets a commission on your money, they don’t like to pay you back anything on your losses. Actually, if you find one that does, can you please let me know?

So you are responsible because you make the decision to make whatever investment you choose. Whether it be self managed in the Stock Market or with a Fund Manager. This leads to my question: “If you are going to make a loss, wouldn’t you rather be the one to blame?” At least then you know you have the power to correct the mistake and act differently next time.

I suppose that is exactly what you are doing now by reading this article. I’ve been doing it for 3 years now. I’ve gained mentors like Jamie McIntyre from 21st Century Academy and Nik Halik from FFI. Motivational and Inspirational people like Tony Christiansen and Kurek Ashley and let’s not forget Tony Robbins.

Thanks for your ongoing patronage of this stock market blog. If you like building your wealth knowledge, then you’re welcome in the Wealth Creation Forum, where hundreds of like minded people interact with each other for this kind of information.

You can join me in the Wealth Forum if you want to learn more.

But First, I’ve got One Burning Question for you:

What is the Area of Investing that You Like and Fear the most?

Please post your answers in the Comment section, following the link below.

Thanks for now and I’ll talk to you soon
