THE NEW SAVAGE NUMBER -- just how much money do you need to retire comfortably?

 

RBC's top management trusts Jason Storsley.
So they put him in charge of RBC Direct Investing, with two challenges.

Make RBC Direct Investing the natural broker for all RBC clients who want to try their hands at managing their own investments.

And bring in customers from other banks, attrracting them with all of RBC's strenghts as Canada's biggest bank.

 Think like a pilot to keep
your investments flying high

   

Larry, A.J. and Rick know thinking like a pilot makes a lot of sense. And money.

Three of North America’s top online trading educators have told  Canadian Online Trader that being a pilot is good background for successful online trading.

Larry Pesavento, left, teaches in person and via his web site, www.tradingtutor.com. He has been trading for 50 years, 45 of them full-time.

“I first noticed the similarities between online trading and flying airplanes in the early 1980s. I had several students who were commercial airline pilots and they did very well in my course,” said Pesavento, speaking with Canadian Online Trader from Hong Kong. 

Learning to be a private pilot is good preparation for online trading, too, agree A.J. Monte, center, and Rick Swope, known as “The Market Guys.” They teach online traders on the U.S. Public Broadcasting System (PBS) television program Wealth and Wisdom, and at seminars around the world, including frequent visits to Vancouver and Toronto.
