From Italy to a Nasdaq Reservation

How do you follow record-setting success? Get stronger. Take Pacaso. Their real estate co-ownership tech set records in Paris and London in 2024. No surprise. Coldwell Banker says 40% of wealthy Americans plan to buy abroad within a year. So adding 10+ new international destinations, including three in Italy, is big. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

One Trade Can’t Make You Rich, But One Trade Can Break You

A new trader once told me, “Sir, if I just catch one big move, I can double my account.”

So they went all-in on a single trade. At first, it looked good — profits were showing. But then the market turned. Within minutes, their account was nearly wiped out.

That’s when they realized a hard truth: One trade will never make you rich. But one bad trade can break you.

Why This Happens

  1. Greed pushes traders to over-risk

The dream of fast money makes traders bet too big.

But big risks come with big danger.

  1. The market is unpredictable

Even the best setup can fail.

No analysis is 100% certain.

  1. Survival matters more than jackpots

Trading isn’t about winning one big bet.

It’s about staying in the game long enough to catch many opportunities.

The Smarter Way to Trade

✅ Risk Small Per Trade – Never risk more than 1–2% of your account on a single trade. ✅ Think in Series, Not Singles – Focus on the next 100 trades, not just the next one. ✅ Accept Losses – A small loss is just the “cost of doing business.” A big loss is account damage.
