Long-tail Hammer on SPX, DJI, RUT and Long-tail White Candle on NDX...45th Anniversary Today...

 
 
© 2022
 
 
Today, January 10, is my 45th anniversary in the investment industry.  It’s been a great journey that started with the DJIA closing at 986.87 on my first day in 1977 and rose to a new closing high last week at 36,952.65.  Yes, that’s just short of a 36,000-point rise during my career. 
 
Currently, I am in what I consider the fourth phase of my career providing online real-time mentoring to an amazing group of self-motivated traders that are working hard each week taking their trading the next level. 
 
Reports of great rewards in 2021 were common and now we move to 2022 with the objective to improve even more.
 
I wish every reader of this blog, whether a client of iBullyBear.com or not, an amazing and profitable 2022.  If you get to the point you would like to step up your trading to the next level above where you’re currently at, you can check us out by clicking on the iBullyBear banner at the top of the blog.
 
Best of success!

Hey Dave, Congrats on 45 years!! Thanks for all you do and all you have helped me with. I worked at Investools, selling the education, in 2010, and I've been hooked on technical analysis ever since!! I currently have a job that basically allows me to trade throughout the day as needed, and I can keep an eye on charts all the time (I do quality assurance reviews for a brokerage/bank) but anyway, my entire approach and trading philosophy is based on what I've learned from your teaching/mentoring and watching your trading rooms and blog. Yor really have been a mentor to me!! I hope to join your live mentoring at some point, hopefully this year! But anyway, thanks for everything!!
