The buying and selling business is nothing more than buying cheap new or used products that we all need, use or want and reselling the same items for more than cost. The difference between what you paid and what you sold is, of course, your profit.
The mantra of any buying and selling business is simple and easy to remember.
Buy low, sell high. That's exactly what this book is about - to show you how to start and run your own independent trading business so you can buy low, sell high, and make a lot of profit in the process.
The new global market has also created a second reason why buying and selling is not only the wave of the future, but likely to be a big part of what defines the new economy in developed countries such as the United States and Canada. It's no secret that manufacturing, engineering and middle management jobs are disappearing every day as foreign economies with cheaper labor, raw materials and production costs swallow them up.
In fact, some studies show that job losses in these areas are occurring at an alarming rate, faster than most people, including politicians and policy makers, realize or are willing to admit. It suggests that there are call centers in India, furniture manufacturing in Indonesia, chemical processing in China. As a result, the number of new small business start-ups in North America has increased dramatically.
Many people who have been, or will soon be, affected by the new global economy are choosing self-employment to keep up with the changing times, earn money, and secure their long-term future. History has taught us that we either evolve like extinct dinosaurs or we end up eventually!
Buying and selling for profit is nothing new. It has existed for thousands of years. The only difference is that the currency has switched from goat and bread to paper and plastic. That said, there are two main reasons why trading has turned from a closely guarded secret to a popular pursuit in recent years.
Hundreds of thousands of people around the world now trade as their sole source of income. The first reason is the emergence, prevalence and use of the Internet. The second reason is what I call the new economy.
