Many individuals decide at some point that they would like to direct their own investments.  Their own portfolio.  But they do not know how to begin.  So they begin to try to educate themselves.  It is unfortunate that many times, such investigations result

in 'get rich quick' schemes', guaranteeing high accuracy rates and millions of dollars in a matter of months. All you have to do is purchase a particular 'system'. The wary are usually put off by such over-hyped promises.

Upon further investigation, perhaps they find someone who seems to know market terminology and speaks of reliable chart patterns. They begin to compare these chart patterns to past time periods in the capital markets, and indeed ... they seem to 'predict' the future.  However over time, they find that chart patterns only tell you what happened on the left side of the chart; they do not 'predict' the right side of the chart. Perhaps others begin to listen to someone who has been trading for a few years, but has an extreme economic bias.  Or worse yet, an extreme political bias.  These biases color their investment decisions to the extent that the 'guru' cannot adapt to market conditions in a flexible manner.  To adjust their stance would not fit in with their one stance political view.

And again, unfortunately, this means that such ones are left to muddle through on their own. Many give up. Many continue to trade and invest, only to 'blow up' their account, meaning they lose their entire account balance to the markets. They save, and then fund their account again, only to lose it over and over in a vicious cycle.

No nonsense trading is dedicated to providing information regarding investing and trading; sans the hype.  Without bias or promises of absolute prediction.

Instead, "No Nonsense Trading" is written by an actual trader in the capital markets with 16 years of experience, Daniel A. Shy.  The author of "Airelon's Investing and Trading  Blog" for nearly 5 years, Daniel "Aileron" Shy established a proven, profitable record.  In addition "Aileron" provided much of this market education for free.  Without cost, and without charge.  Sharing freely what he had learned over the past 17 years.  The eventual goal is to transfer much of the free information that was found on "Aileron's Investing and Trading Blog" to this website, in an easy to navigate (and still free) format.

The goal of "No Nonsense Trading" is to provide information on the reality of trading the capital markets.  It's premium newsletter "Aileron Market Balance" will approach the markets with reason and rationality.  And as the "aileron" of an airplane provides stability and balance, this newsletter too aims to reflect a balanced approach to the capital markets.  At the same time, the newsletter provides an 'over the shoulder' look as to Dan "Aileron" Shy's thoughts regarding the economy, as well as specific dividend investing and trading ideas for the upcoming week

Without the nonsense ....
