Every trader has made the same fundamental error at some time in their career. Actually, most businessmen and entrepreneurs make this same mistake.Let me tell you a story: While at graduate school, I was crazy about windsurfing. Whenever it was windy, I was sailing. Nothing else mattered. Classes, assignments, term papers, labs and everything else took a back seat. If it weren't for my marks, I would have been kicked out for sure.Ask yourself "How can anyone get decent marks with that kind of focus?” And focusing on the task at hand, trading or otherwise, is what I want to talk about.

The most profitable mail order products are simple 3-to-5 page informational reports such as this one. Once you've got your act together, these 3-page reports can be produced for $10 per hundred or less, and sold for at least $200 per hundred.Generally speaking, everybody either in or wanting to get into mail order, feels that they have the final answer to what the general public will beat a path to their door to buy.

As for the famous ones today, I’m not telling and they aren’t either. The people who make their living shorting stocks full time are held in pretty low esteem by most of the trading public.
