Are you a Beginner, looking to get started? Or a seasoned stock trader or investor
- looking to improve your results?   Then YOU BELONG HERE
 

Unfortunately many traders and investors get it completely inside out. They buy high and sell low,  or hold on to falling stocks– and it costs them dearly – both emotionally and financially.

My wife Angela and I are one of those couples who suffered many gut wrenching & sleepless nights in the painful school of very hard knocks in our early days.

I’m John Atkinson, co-founder of this website.

My background:  I achieved a 1^st Class Honours Degree in civil engineering at Surrey University (UK) in 1975, then spent the next 35 years as a civil and geotechnical engineer in England , South Africa and Australia where I wrote and managed over $1 billion of contracts.
 

Big Mistake…. Big…. Huge:

A ‘professional’  advisor recommended us to hold on to falling stocks in the 2000 tech stock crash, with:

• It’s not a loss unless you sell it”
• “If it’s broken today, it’s fixed tomorrow” (meaning wait for prices to “come back”) and
• “Sell anything that’s even money or better” - which means you end up selling your best performing stocks and holding on to your losers!

As we had ZERO prior share market experience,  we trusted and followed his so-called qualified ‘advice’ to hold on to falling stocks.....

….then so many sleepless terrifying nights as share prices plummeted….

…..we lost our Sydney Harbour waterfront home and were wiped back 20 years financially as a result ...

and fell into a deep, dark emotional hole……..

Walk Away or ……….?

Later, we were faced with 2 big decisions - to either:

1. Walk away from  the whole experience and never venture near the stock market again
   OR

2. Seek out profitable and trustworthy traders to help us - so we could learn how do it better next time…….

In 2000-2004, Angela and I searched extensively to find some of the best information possible from experienced traders who trade for a living - - to teach us what we needed to learn to start the huge climb back.

We spent literally hundreds of hours reading stock market books,  watching videos ,  attending live training events  - to learn how to create and test  a profitable rule-based Trading & Investing Plan.

We quickly realised how much we’d really needed all this valuable education long BEFORE risking our real $$$$ in the stock market ….

Our Aha! Moment

"A Rule for Everything"

We instantly gravitated to Jim Berg’s proven rule-based ‘Weight-of Evidence’ approach and  his  now world-famous JB Volatility Indicators.

As Jim Berg says at his live training;

From Humble Beginnings….

December 2004:  From our own real life harsh experience, Angela and I launched this website ShareTradingEducation.com – to initially warn traders and investors about the pitfalls of the market.
