I applaud instincts. When china makes their cut off move to destroy the west you should be fine. It will be chaos.I had a conversation with a heart surgeon once, he tells me heart bypass surgery is not a difficult thing to learn, to do it well requires patience, preparation and meticulous attention. Investing is much the same. You gain your ability with practice. As I said, I have stopped trading ( but not practicing ) because I think a shit meteor storm is coming and I do not want to be stuck with stocks when everyone is selling. I would suggest you learn how to use moving averages ( 20,50,200 day MAs ( personally I include the 100 day MA ) Then learn how to use the MACD, Stochastics, and RSI indicators.
As far as individual tutelage my student roster is full. I have three middle management ladies that are after me for my mind. ( I use to have 4, but one had a career opportunity in another city. She still receives benefits from me ) They pamper their cash kitty and I take good care of them. There is no bigger thrill for civilian ladies when they learn to earn.
Better a guru than a U-man, right?
We are about to have world war 3 on the stock market.
