The Market is Crashing!
Advice from a good friend, on the day of a huge market crash in March of 1980, began a long and profitable career in trading. Fari had to scramble to even open up an account, but his determination paid off. In just six weeks, his account was up 30%!
Big shoes to fill
Fari Hamzei’s father pushed him to excellence. He never let him settle or become complacent. Money was a precious commodity, since they came to the USA with very little. Every penny was guarded and needed to be invested wisely. So Fari studied. He studied hard. He studied often. He surrounded himself with successful individuals and developed relationships, so that he could learn from the best of the best. He has cherished the lessons his father taught him, and he desires to keep the knowledge going, as he passes it on to other worthy students.
Investing beyond simple stocks
If you want to invest in an index, rather than just a single stock, you better make sure you understand the components.
The importance of having and being a mentor
After 40 years as a trader, Fari still has mentors, and is actively mentoring younger traders. He says that you need to choose a mentor that can change your life story. Fari believes that there is always someone better than you, so you would be wise to learn from them. And, he’s very selective about who he is willing to invest time and energy into because his own time is incredibly valuable and limited.
