- EP 272 | Marine Corps Discipline Crushes the Markets | Erik Smolinski
Growing up poor and living in violent neighborhoods didn’t stop Erik from being motivated and curious. Erik only needed to hear a few words about investing including the power of compounding from his high school instructor to light the passion and determination to take ACTION. The discipline, responsibility, accountability, and patience he cultivated as a Marine Corp officer strengthened his ability to stick with his well thought out trading plans and persevere. His use of derivatives strategies help him to minimize painful drawdowns while creating consistent, long term market-beating returns.

Awesome... Thank you.. I pray for you, your guest and all the world for success. I learned a lot!
A great interview.. lots of take-aways. Thank you.
I love the comment, "I will hold it for the perpetuity". I should hold at least a share for both to reminder me of my loss and the break of the promise.
ERIK is the MAN!!!
Love Erik's content
Amazing episode with lots of notes to take. Thanks.
Would you also have an episode with Mr. Al Brooks?
This is crazy, I grew up in Kingston, NY!!!
спасибо за труд
You need to interview Charlie Burton.
wp❤❤🎉
The intro is a bit too long and the tone of voice a bit too dramatic.
For real. That annoyed me as well. Use a normal tone of voice.
Well but he has 200K subs though so he might get enough benefit to feel happy and it comes out dramatic.
Sorry lads but if you think ‘having a plan’ is top notch advice, you’re thinking at Kindergarten level. How will you succeed in life without a plan, let alone the stock market.
Why dose she talk like that haha
