A scary warning for traders this Halloween
Fellow ghouls, goblins, witches, wizards, zombies and all other spooky creatures that lurk in the darkness (yes even you naughty nurses). While you move from door to door this Halloween, "trick or treating", something far scarier has been unfolding. Something so...
The shocking truth – why you’re probably already a superior trader
Sometimes you have a great opportunity to learn things that are hard to believe. In fact, I’m still a bit astonished by something... Very soon I’ll be entering the third year of running my hedge-fund. During that time, my business partner and I have had a myriad of...
One simple thing that will put you way ahead of other traders
Many traders, including me, like advice that is simple and effective. Interestingly enough, when I tell traders this one simple thing that can DRAMATICALLY improve their chances of trading success (and I can GUARANTEE it), they often don’t implement it… So, please,...
Red faced at Red Lobster
Greetings from Knoxville Tennessee! Tomas and I have both spent the last week in Tennessee, attending a retreat in Gatlinburg. I wanted to share a quick story because it was a good reminder for me and it might be helpful to you too. The day before we went to...

My biggest repeat failure… challenged again
I’ve got something to admit to you... It’s something that I’ve failed at a number of times, and it still makes me anxious. It’s not strictly about trading, but it also has ALOT to do with trading. Let me explain... We traders, like it or not, are pretty much control...
The #1 trading thing you should NEVER rebel against
If you’re like me, you’ve probably always hated it when people told you what you should and shouldn’t do. Especially with parents. When my mother told me I should be a good, nice boy, I became a hippie. When she told me I should study to be an engineer, I chose film...
Start the week with some “mmm…”
This may sound a little odd to some... Because I know lots of people will probably disagree... But I think Mondays are awesome. I love Mondays. (Well I do now, but when I was a corporate slave chained to a desk all day, it was more dread than love. But that story is...
