Are You Playing the Right Game?
"Day traders considered themselves successful if they bought a stock at $10 and sold at $11, bought it back the next week at $24 and sold at $25, and bought it a week later at $39 and sold at $40.
If you can't see the flaw in this – that the trader made $3 in a stock that appreciated by $30 – you probably shouldn't read the rest of this book."
— Howard Marks, in “The Most Important Thing”
Two Games. Two Outcomes.
Most people lose money not because they are unintelligent, but because they are unknowingly playing the wrong game.
The Wrong Game: Frantic Noise
- ❌
The Goal: More Trades
Believing more activity equals more profits.
- ❌
The Strategy: Gurus & Hype
Following YouTube trend lines and Crypto Twitter.
- ❌
The Result: Burnout
A high-stress game of screen addiction with a 95% failure rate.
The Right Game: Strategic Positioning
- ✓
The Goal: High-Conviction Decisions
Understanding one great position is worth more than 100 frantic trades.
- ✓
The Strategy: Process & Data
Blending timeless wisdom with technology that confirms what smart money is doing.
- ✓
The Result: Peace of Mind
A time-efficient, proven process for wealth creation.
The Checklist: A Moment of Intellectual Honesty
Your answers to these questions will tell you everything you need to know about the game you're currently playing.
What bothers you more about a winning trade?
The money you left on the table by selling too early, or the fact you might have missed a different, faster-moving stock that day?
Does your current process give you more stress or more free time?
A successful process should compound your capital *and* your quality of life, not force you to trade one for the other.
Are you looking for a system to follow, or a guru with a crystal ball?
Our members value a repeatable, data-driven process, not the impossible promise of someone who can predict every market turn.
Would you rather make one great decision a month or 100 small ones a day?
This defines the difference between strategic positioning and frantic trading. We focus on the one decision that matters.
If a stock went from $10 to $40, what would make you more proud?
Scalping $3 in profits along the way, or capturing the entire $30 move with a single, disciplined position?
The Verdict
If you consistently chose the second path—the path of strategic moves, peace of mind, proven systems, and capturing the real profit—then you are ready to stop playing the wrong game.
If you see the profound flaw in making $3 while the real move was $30, then you are ready to join the quiet 5%.
Start Your Journey NowHoward Marks once told a story about a trader who was thrilled to make $3 on a stock that rose by $30. He captured the frantic noise but missed the entire strategic move. The market whispered its plan, and he was too busy shouting to listen.
This story gets to the heart of what we do. We believe most people lose money not because they are unintelligent, but because they are playing the wrong game—a frantic, high-stress game of chasing pennies while dollars slip through their fingers.
Before you go any further, let's be clear about who this is for. Let's talk probabilities.
We are likely not the right fit if you believe trading more means winning more, if your strategy is built on YouTube trend lines and Crypto Twitter gurus, or if you're trying to time the market based on the day's headlines. That is a path with a 95% probability of failure, and we have no interest in tilting those odds. It’s a game of screen addiction, not wealth creation.
However, if you've grown tired of that game, then this is where it gets interesting.
We are for the investor who understands that a single, well-timed strategic position is worth more than a hundred frantic trades. We are for the disciplined thinker who values their time and wants to stand on the shoulders of giants—blending the timeless wisdom of institutional accumulation with modern technology that confirms what the smart money is doing.
This is for you if you're ready to trade the addiction of the screen for the peace of mind that comes with a proven process. It's for you if you understand that real market insight doesn't come from a mid-day alert from another guru, but from a deep understanding of market structure and capital flows.
Before you go any further, let's determine if we're even playing the same game. Your answers will tell you everything you need to know.
- When you look back at a winning trade, what bothers you more: the money you left on the table by selling too early, or the fact that you might have missed a different, faster-moving stock that day? This gets to the heart of the Howard Marks story. Are you focused on capturing the entire strategic move, or are you addicted to the frantic noise of constant action?
- Does your current investment process give you more screen time and stress, or more free time and peace of mind? We believe a successful process should compound your capital and your quality of life, not force you to trade one for the other.
- Are you looking for a system to follow, or are you secretly hoping for a guru with a crystal ball? This is about intellectual honesty. Our members value a repeatable, data-driven process, not the impossible promise of someone who can predict every market turn.
- Would you rather execute one great decision a month based on institutional data, or one hundred small decisions a day based on headlines and social media chatter? This defines the difference between strategic positioning and frantic trading. We focus on the one decision that matters.
- Finally, if a stock you owned went from $10 to $40, would you be more proud of scalping $3 in profits along the way, or of capturing the entire $30 move with a single, disciplined position? Your answer to this question determines if you are ready to stop chasing pennies and start positioning for dollars. If you see the profound flaw in the first approach, then you might be ready for a more intelligent game.
If you're ready to join the 5% and position for the entire strategic move, your journey starts here.
