Some of you may be too young to remember this…but, about 10 years ago the U.S. government started making Quarters…one for each state. I remember there was this big hoopla about collecting the quarters, when you turned on the TV, you saw QVC ads and regular ads selling you different ways for you to start collecting them such as in clocks or posters. You even saw the real estate agents handing out big postcard size coin holders with their names on the back.
I remember most of the people, about age 30 and over, were excited to start collecting these coins as they were released into the economy. Now, even I was collecting them, naturally for my daughter, of course. I started out with the big postcard size coin holders until the coins kept falling out of the cardboard coin holders…then, I switched to a clock to hold the coins until the coins started falling out of those holders…then, I switched to nice cardboard holder inside a glass frame…which is the final version that I just placed the last coin, Hawaii, into its place.
So what does this have to do with trading you might be asking yourself?
Well, let me share somethings about the process of collecting these coins and what I noticed along the way…the ten year journey so to speak. Maybe that process and the distinctions noticed may shed some light on the topic of trading.
The first year or two and I would go as far as saying, even the third year…almost everyone was still excited about collecting these quarters…but, around year four and five, I started hearing things like… “I started collecting them but, the cardboard holder broke so I stopped collecting them or yeah, I was real dilligent and then, I lost them when I moved…but, I am going to start collecting them again…etc.”
Around that same time, I started asking various convenience store cashiers…what they noticed…and they said, “people are still collecting them…but, not as many people are asking me about any of them any more.” And, as the years kept on progressing, I started asking people, are they collecting the quarters any more…it was rare to hear anyone say… “yeah…I am still collecting them”…In fact, as I asked this question this past year, I have yet to find anyone who is still collecting the coins…it seems like almost everyone has stopped collecting them. The convenience store cashiers tell me that virtually no one even looks at the ‘shiny’ ones any more.
By the way, when I finished collecting this last coin and putting it in its holding place, I called a couple friends to tell them about the completion of the collection process and the response was like… “oh, you still were doing that thing…I stopped that after the first couple years.”
After pondering the process for a moment, I realized that many of the people that I was talking to about trading three or four years ago…were excited back then, and they may have read a few books… took a few courses… got beat up a little or a lot in the market… they regrouped, but with less passion this time…they were less curious about the charts this time…they were less daring this time…they were more fearful about taking any action…most of them have actually quit…I know that surprises you.
It is actually mind boggling to me…you literally have the best one person business in the world today…and people quit in just a handful of years, OR they don’t even investigate with passion. People some how expect the world to just unfold for them…just because they want to succeed quickly. You go to college for four or five years, without the promise of a job, but with hope for the future. And, then, people quit pursuing the best business in the world after a handful of years or experiences…it makes NO sense for anyone to do this.
