This article is taken from the YourTradingEdge magazine (MAY/JUNE 2009 issue)

The author, Kel Butcher, is a full time futures, equities and derivatives trader. He is the author of ‘A Step-by-Step Guide to Buying and Selling Shares Online’. He also acts as a mentor and coach to other traders.

  • The rout experienced by all the world’s equity markets during 2008 will be etched in the memories of share traders and investors for many, many years. Tales will be told, long after the bear market has ended, of fortunes lost and made during this implosion of share prices – stories that will be the repeated at dinner parties and in online chat rooms for years to come. Kel Butcher reminds us that ‘only educated traders survive’ in a bear market.
