When developing an investment routine, the important part is just that: the routine. Some days I’m not able to pour endless hours into looking at my portfolios, but I make sure to be diligent about keeping a routine. After all, our consistency is what defines us. I encourage you to look at your internet habits and see what defines you there. Where are you spending your time? What sites do you visit every day? Do they bring you happiness, joy, or prosperity? If not, it’s time to reconsider. But beyond that, you should be building an internet ecosystem that makes you money. That’s why I put together a list of my favorite sites that I check each and every day. By checking them daily, even if it’s for 15 minutes in the morning before I run to the office, I build a rhythm that keeps me in the loop, keeps me in check, and keeps me making good money. Try2BFunded My first stop is Try2BFunded, a prop trader that lets me trade with $100,000 of their money. Yep, you read that right. And I get to take home 60% of the profits. Each morning—or sometimes night—I take a look to see how my portfolio here is doing and if I’m maintaining enough growth to keep my account active. If I let it slip, I can be kicked back down to the qualifying round. The qualifying round took me 6 weeks to make it through, which was a good learning curve, but it means I’m not making money. So I prefer to stay engaged and stay getting checks. 2) Score Priority Cousin to the aforementioned Try2BFunded, Score Priority lets me keep things social. A social networking platform just for trading fanatics like me, it’s a great way to learn beyond the big talking heads and Wall Street Journal analysts. Score Priority is certainly filled with characters, but it’s also filled with cutting edge takes, deep dive analysis, and all of the up to date news. Plus, it’s a great way for me to track which stock is on the rise, and which is taking a nosedive. 3) Barron’s There are many magazines and websites one can turn to for financial news, and they all have their pros and cons, but I like Barron’s. It’s sleek, simple, and is the right balance of Wall Street Journal ease and The Economist depth. One problem is that it costs a subscription fee, but I like the idea of supporting strong journalism, which Barron’s certainly is. 4) Fidelity (or your major bank) I’m a bit of an obsessive, so this one might just be me. But I like to check in on: my checking account, my credit cards, my liquid savings, my IRAs and my 401k each and every day. Why? because it pays to have total control over the money you’ve earned. Build a rhythm, find your sites, and watch how much your mind, and bank account, will profit.
