This is a YouTube video titled "Is Trading a Shameful Occupation?" featuring Brian McAboy speaking about personal beliefs related to trading, money, and self-worth. The content involves Brian McAboy reflecting on common perceptions and encouraging viewers to examine their own beliefs about trading and success. The video was created in April 2025.
Take a look at what do you believe about the markets? What do you believe about yourself? Do you believe that you're worthy of success? Do you believe that trading is somehow inherently an occupation to be ashamed of because it's not quote, unquote, providing value to anybody? You're not exchanging a service or a good to anybody else that's solving a problem or making their lives better. You're just trading and making money. Do you have some belief about it that you know, okay, in some way this is a bad thing and maybe it reflects on you as a person. But anyway, what you want to do, take a look at beliefs about money, beliefs about trading, beliefs about yourself, beliefs about your abilities, beliefs about the challenges about trading, what it's really all about. Just kind of list them out as you can. Even do it, like as a free writing exercise. But it's really good to examine our beliefs, what we think we believe, what are the things we think are true that may or may not be true?
