My Surprisingly Boring Trading Strategy

Every now and then, a friend will ask me about my trading strategies. Maybe it’s after a market rally or a bad day on Wall Street, but the curiosity always comes back: “What do you do?”

Well, here’s the honest answer.

I’ve tried trading pretty much everything: options, futures, crypto, forex, small caps, large caps: you name it. I’ve chased it. Portfolios, trends, followed chart patterns, subscribed to premium signals, and sat through webinars that promised to “unlock the secrets.” And after all that?

The strategy that actually worked for me: the one that brought consistency: is shockingly simple and kind of boring.

I focus on just one stock: BRK.B. That’s Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares, one of the most stable and well-managed companies in the market. No hype. Just steady movement.

Every morning, I allocate $***,*** and aim for a 0.25% gain that is quarter of a percent, which is roughly $625. All BRK.B has to do is move up about $1.30 or less. If it does, I sell and take the win. If it doesn’t? I hold and wait for the next day.

That’s it.

No day-long chart watching. No babysitting the stock. No stress. Even if I only hit my target 10 times a month, that’s still $6,250. It’s not flashy, but it’s consistent. And it keeps me sane.

Now, let me be clear:

Is this financial advice? No.
Is this advice of any kind? Also no.
Should I follow it? Definitely not.
Should I tell anyone else to follow it? Absolutely not.
Should I at least look into it? Maybe… yes.

May I call, text or dream of you if I have a question? No.

Keep it simple, and don't underestimate the power of the basics.

Good Luck!
