The best traders.
This section is devoted to describing the success stories of famous traders and the strategies they used. Is it so difficult to succeed in trading? What is needed for this? The main secrets of profitable trading on the stock exchange.
Financier Leonid Blavatnik
Many new investors make the mistake of avoiding assets in industries in which they are not experts.
It is quite stupid to think by the standards of an oil worker or a steel worker, trying to delve into the technical process in order to assess the efficiency of the enterprise.
To do this, it is enough to carefully study the economic statements, profit indicators and understand how unique the product in front of you is.
Billionaire Leonid Blavatnik was guided by a similar logic, who in many of his interviews said that he did not understand oil production and aluminum smelting at all, but this in no way prevented him from earning billions of dollars by investing in this business.
The future billionaire, and one of the leaders of the Forbes list, was born in 1957 in the city of Yaroslavl.
Almost from birth, he was instilled with a love for mathematical sciences, because his father was a professor at the local polytechnic university. Therefore, as soon as Leonid grew up, he was sent not to a regular school, but to a specialized mathematics school. However, he was also very drawn to cinematography and even went to one of the local circles.
Slava Rabinovich - a winding path to success
Most of the iconic world personalities who are key players of the exchange are not related to the post-Soviet space.
There is an opinion that this became possible only because the post-Soviet countries simply do not have financial education, because in the USSR business as such did not exist, not to mention the possibility of trading on the stock exchange.
However, not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance, because our compatriots also do not feed their backs, earning millions of dollars through management for themselves and their investors.
One of these managers is the now famous publicist, blogger and, to some extent, oppositionist Slava Rabinovich.
Slava Rabinovich was born in 1966 in the now renamed city of Leningrad. He grew up in an extraordinary family, which was directly connected with culture and science at the same time. His father played the violin at the Kirov Theater and was also a member of the large Leningrad Symphony Orchestra.
Jesse Livermore's strategy
Financier Jesse Livermore is known to many thanks to Edwin Lefebvre's book “Memoirs of a Stock Operator,” which is very popular among traders.
It is in this book that the financier shares the principles of his trading, and he does not have a clear trading plan, which is given to us when describing trading strategies.
In reality, there was no clear strategy, but rather general principles through which it was possible to make money.
Perhaps the reason for this was that Jesse mainly used fundamental analysis and market patterns in his trading, and also manipulated the market himself with the help of rumors.
And so the basic trading principles on which Livermore based his strategy were:
Trader Bill Williams is the one who created the Alligator indicator
How many of you know the names of the largest investment bankers, whose income has exceeded millions, or even billions of dollars?
At best, people can name only a couple of names, and then only on the condition that the only thing known about them is the amount of money they earn.
However, the name of Bill Williams is known to almost everyone, but it was not his huge fortune that brought him fame, but the contribution he made to the development of stock trading.
Biography highlights
Bill Williams is a renowned trader, investor and coach at the same time, through whose hands millions of dollars and about 25 thousand students have passed.
However, the biography of this man, the history of his journey, is almost impossible to find, except that they are everywhere only those that were taken from his various interviews with journalists and traders.
Top traders
The world of trading would not be so bright and attractive if it were not for the success stories of hundreds of traders in different parts of the world who were able to earn millions, or even billions of dollars.
It is these idols that show us all that it makes no difference who you were in the past, what kind of family you are from and what connections you have.
Professional education also does not always play a decisive role in making a profit.
And most importantly, there is no ceiling on profitability, because on the stock exchange absolutely everyone can realize themselves to one degree or another.
And the exchange allows you to achieve all this, and real success stories of top traders are the most important confirmation of this.
Financier Paul Singer is someone who makes money on other people's debts
A debt hole is a weakness of any state and government, which, due to its stupidity and desire to please the people, actually destroys its own economy.
The most interesting thing is that the debt trap as a result of mismanagement sank dozens of countries, not to mention the largest companies, which, having enormous capitalization, suddenly fell into oblivion.
However, if shareholders and ordinary workers suffer continuous losses, then Vulture traders at this moment earn millions of dollars.
You will become acquainted with the biography of one of these “Vultures”, Paul Singer, who made billions from other people’s debts while reading this article.
Early years.
Paul Singer's training Future billionaire Paul Elliott Singer was born on August 22, 1944. He grew up and spent his childhood in a town called Teaneck, New Jersey.
Top financier and analyst William H. Gross
A huge number of people deliberately stay where they are, afraid of losing their jobs, the respect of their colleagues, or simply believing in their prejudices.
It’s hard to believe that a simple mechanic, security guard, military man or salesman can suddenly become a successful trader, turning over billions of dollars in his account.
The big names of financiers who have achieved success on the stock exchange, earning billions of dollars, only sound majestic.
In fact, behind them lie ordinary people just like you, who also worked in their profession before coming to this market.
You will become familiar with one of these success stories as you read this article. William H. Gross was born on April 13, 1944 in Middletown, Ohio. He grew up in a very ordinary family with average income.
His mother was an ordinary housewife while his father served as an executive director at a steel mill.
Dario Mofardin. An atypical trader's success story
How many incredible stories do you know of traders who in an unimaginable way climbed to the top of Olympus? Many examples immediately come to mind.
However, all these traders are either typical insiders, whose success is based only on an advantage in access to information, or were able to realize themselves purely on the stock exchange.
The most interesting thing is that it is very difficult to find success stories directly related to the foreign exchange market, which, due to its accessibility, is more popular among ordinary people.
It is almost impossible to find a trader who used exactly the same tools in his trading as you, despite the fact that most of them have long been written off.
However, such people exist, and one of them is Dario Mofardin, who in turn is the most versatile and flexible trader in the world.
Dario Mofardin never mentioned his early years and childhood in his interviews with journalists, with the exception of the story of how he ended up in the foreign exchange market.
Manager Christopher Hon. Britain's largest philanthropist
Today it is already difficult to surprise anyone with messages about charitable activities; each of the patrons pursues their own goals
Basically, these are one-time shares, but there are exceptions to this rule, for example, Christopher Hon and his wife created a fund to help children, which regularly receives funds from the activities of his investment company.
Manager Christopher Hohn not only modestly transfers hundreds of millions of dollars, but also actively increases these funds in his fund completely free of charge.
Early years and training
Christopher Hon was born in 1966 in Addliston, Surrey. There is practically no mention of the early years of the future investor and manager of a multi-billion dollar company.
However, it is known for certain that Christopher grew up in a quite wealthy family. So his father worked as a car mechanic, and his mother was a lawyer in a reputable law firm.
Of course, the family was not fabulously rich, but nevertheless they could afford to give their son an excellent education.
Financier James Coulter. Head of TPG Capital
Unfortunately, many ordinary people, and even novice traders and investors, see investment funds as simple companies that have only competently structured their portfolio of shares or bonds, making money on dividends.
In fact, large funds are essentially raiders, with the caveat that everything takes place within the framework of the legislative framework, and instead of thugs with bats, a team of lawyers and financiers sits at the table.
James Coulter's TPG Capital fund is no exception; moreover, TPG Capital has been repeatedly mentioned in the news feeds in connection with scandals, including forceful actions against shareholders.
The biography of James Coulter and his activities at TPG Capital allows you to take off your rose-colored glasses and look at the investment world from a completely different angle.
James Coulter was born into a Protestant Methodist family, Shirley and James W. Coulter, on December 1, 1959. He spent his childhood in Buffalo, New York.
It is worth noting that from childhood, James Coulter showed an inclination towards business and self-sufficiency, and this was instilled in him by his father, who at that time worked as a sales chemist and actively sold Chevron products.
Robert Smith. Vista Equity Partners
Many people greatly limit their potential by focusing on the past, and especially on their current profession.
Of course, it is very difficult for an ordinary worker to give up everything and start learning a new profession, new skills and move to a completely new step in his life.
However, no matter how great the prejudices of the majority may be, completely different people, of different professions, who had practically nothing to do with the stock exchange, achieved success on the stock exchange.
One of the brightest representatives of managers who changed their lives and achieved a billion-dollar fortune is Robert Smith, founder and head of Vista Equity Partners.
early years
Robert Smith was born on December 1, 1962, into an ordinary African-American family of learned teachers.
