One of the Biggest Fallacies in Trading
One of the biggest fallacies in trading is that you have to choose between trading or investing. Or, you can either buy bitcoin or buy gold. Or you can buy crypto or stocks. Or. Or. Or.
This is just not the case. You can use multiple strategies (including trading and investing) and probably should. Especially when one of the strategies only takes 15 minutes to actually execute the trades on 1 day per week. Such as the 3 Stocks to Wealth strategy on investtobefree.com.
This strategy has a stellar long-term track record and racked up gains of around 3,000% during its first 9.5 years for those following the simple instructions each week on investtobefree.com using full position sizes with compounding and no margin.
This red hot swing trading strategy is on track for high double digit gains this year as I write this in April of 2025.
The 3 Stocks to Wealth strategy takes very little time to execute the trades. And these trades are executed on Thursday so you have plenty of other time the rest of the week to use other strategies.
This gives you the rest of the week for other strategies whether its buy and hold or some other form of trading.
Here is a snippet from our recent trading boot camp that clears up the fallacy of having to choose only 1 general strategy or asset class that a lot of individuals seem to espouse.

One of our favorite combinations of strategies is the 3 Stocks to Wealth strategy taught on our sister site combined with ideal high tight flag breakouts and earnings eruption trades. (these are top echelon beat and raise quarters in solid long-term uptrends that meet the course rules).
This is because the 3 Stocks to Wealth takes so little time to execute the trades. Its all on 1 day per week and really straightforward. The research to rank all the stocks in the market and identify the top 3 takes more time but can be accomplished after market hours.
Now if you are trying to use multiple strategies that are more complicated, its probably not a good idea. You want to ensure you have plenty of time to do each strategy really well. Most strategies involve some preparation each day. This is especially true with penny stocks and options where the win rate and prognosis is not good.
But our favorite ranking strategy takes a lot less time than most strategies on just 1 day per week. So you have 4 other days during the week to trade ideal earnings breakouts and other ideal swing trading strategies.
Other Common Fallacies and Trading Mistakes Most Traders Make
In the boot camp we talked about another common fallacy in trading. Namely, that your strategy will work well in all market conditions.
Not understanding the cyclical nature of a strategy’s performance and when to get aggressive and when to reduce risk is key to success over the long-term. In the boot camp , we demonstrated live how you could have made money during this correction instead of losing just by sticking to the top strategy in the rapid account growth course focusing on the first profit target.
During the first day of the boot camp we went over common misconceptions traders have and things to definitely watch out for. Here is another snippet from the boot camp:
