Who is Tom Luong? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To understand the Stock Navigators service, you’ve got to know a little bit about its co-founder, Tom Luong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luong grew up in Vietnam and fled to the United States in the 1980s with little to no money. It wasn\u2019t until a decade after his arrival that he began trading stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

This endeavor quickly evolved from a hobby to an obsession, and Luong dedicated himself to an intense study regimen to learn the ins and outs of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n

Luong reportedly took numerous stock trading courses to help hone his skills. In fact, between books and courses, Luong reportedly invested more than $100,000 in his stock trading education and over $30,000 in trading software. <\/p>\n\n\n

Quick aside … Do you actually need $30k in software to be a day trader? Nah.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

But you do<\/em> need three things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A solid internet connection<\/li>\n
  2. A computer<\/li>\n
  3. A great brokerage<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You’re gonna have to deal with the internet yourself, but we do have tips for #2 and 3. In my humble opinion, the best day trading (and swing trading too) computer is the Gladiator<\/span>\u00a0X14 EZ Trading Computer<\/a>. It’s typically $3299 (or $3099 using our links<\/a><\/em>!), which isn’t cheap, but certainly a lot less than $30k!<\/p>\n

    As for a brokerage? Our favorite brokerage, hands down, is eToro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

    \r\n\t

    eToro is a multi-asset investment platform. The value of your investments may go up or down. Your capital is at risk.<\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

    The investment seemingly paid off. Luong watched his portfolio skyrocket through tech investments made during the 90s and early 2000s. Unfortunately, that bull run would come to a screeching halt, with the tech bubble popping and, with it, half of Luong\u2019s portfolio value evaporated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Following the tech implosion, Luong pivoted to develop a more sustainable and profitable strategy. Using his experience and vast trading education, he created a comprehensive trading method that would form the foundation of the Stock Navigators platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The educational platform is designed to teach people how to successfully day trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What it isn\u2019t is a platform for individuals looking for insight into longer-term buy-and-hold strategies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, to the original question: is Tom Luong legit? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The answer is yes. <\/strong>His extensive market background and history of relatively satisfied customers work in his favor, though as you’ll learn in a minute, his marketing tactics can be pushy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
