RebelTraders… What’s that?

Rebeltraders was established on May 16, 2007 to provide an outlet for information pertaining to the markets and the economy without the Wall Street hype.

In 2007 when I saw the conditions for a financial storm approaching I was absolutely fed up with the main stream media and ‘Wall Street Pumpers’ that I decided to create my own web site in order to provide a view that is not tainted by Wall Street or by any other exterior force.

RebelTraders was among the first to warn of a significant bear market in November of 2007 while many others were still enticing you to keep buying stocks.

Why is it that I was able to make that call in 2007 when so many others dismissed it as nonsense? Because as a ‘Rebel’ there are certain traits that I embrace which enables me to separate myself from what others tell me I ‘should‘ think.

• Rebels perform their own research and form an intelligent opinion that is void of any corporate or Government persuasion.
• Rebels are non-conformists and free thinkers.
• Rebels will not take no for an answer as a ‘no’ only means a challenge is at hand and a Rebel will always work on a challenge to find a solution.
• Rebels stand apart from the crowd by being independent thinkers, authentic, and courageous.
• A Rebel may be independent and a free thinker but they always enjoy helping others.
• Willingness to be a contrarian, winning a popularity contest is not the goal of a rebel… The goal is to always “tell it like it is“. Often this means going head to head with the main stream media and Wall Street analysts.

If you want information about what is going on then you have arrived at the right place. If you only like to hear good news all the time then this will not be for you. Here we are all about revealing the underpinnings of the market and economy and it won’t ever be sugar coated.

As a trader I began my career in late 1987. Being that I am also an engineer I was fascinated with what makes the market tick. As a child I was always taking things apart because I was not satisfied with just taking something for granted, I had to know what made things work. I began my entry into the stock market by studying technical analysis (chart reading) and was instantly pulled into the study of price movements.

I began before we had PC’s to do all the fancy charting for us. For me I had learn the old fashioned way by creating my own charts using graph paper, a pencil, a ruler, and the daily newspaper for stock market prices. The more I studied the more I became a “tape reader” (one who looks at price movements to gauge future price patterns).

Now that 23 years have passed I still analyze the market by applying technical analysis. And by being a person that is an independent thinker I am not swayed by Wall Street analysts or the media telling me how I should think, instead I think for myself and someone actually having an honest opinion is rare these days when it comes to the stock market.

I also volunteer a lot of my time to local organizations as I like to help people and that volunteer spirit is also part of why I wanted to create this site, to help people obtain a point of view that is free of corruption and to guide new traders along the path of what’s right and wrong.

You don’t need the fastest computer, the most expensive trading software that tells you what to buy and when for you, or subscriptions to dozens of newsletters that all promise you big returns. All you need is the desire to learn, the desire to achieve your goals, and the desire to work because all successful traders do their own thinking. The best traders in the world did not get rich by paying $499.99 for a get rich quick trading newsletter. They did it the hard way by learning and thinking for themselves.

Welcome to RebelTraders - Where free thinking is encouraged and being able to shut out Wall Street hype is a requirement.

Sincerely,

Chuck , President RebelTraders
