Quick Tip: Don’t Retire

You’ve probably heard or read the best ways to have a long and fulfilling retirement: Exercise regularly, sleep more, eat healthy, drink moderately, stop smoking, and minimize stress. 

Here’s one thing you might not have heard about: Connect with people who have the same purpose. It turns out that loneliness is a killer. 

Living in Florida I’m frequently asked when out socially if I’m retired. I’m not and never will be, in the classic sense. Why? To keep my mind sharp. Learning and reading are great, but nothing beats interaction with people and being challenged. 

Day trading futures and swing trading options, which are what this blog is about, are a fabulous retirement “job.” Trading skills require cognitive demands like reading, research, decision making, emotional control, and patience.

The good news: Studies have shown that individuals who engage in daily complex cognitive activities have a lower risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

The other big benefit is freedom. Specifically, freedom of time, location, and finances. What more could you want in retirement?

Our trading teams focus on day trading futures and swing trading options. Maybe you'll fit right in. You can try either or both risk-free.  

Trade Fearlessly,
