As we reflect on Jesse's remarkable journey, our Chairman, Brian, shares key takeaways. Using Jesse's experiences as a backdrop, we tackle crucial questions: - Can taking profits lead to financial ruin? - How should investors respond to the Fed's rate cuts: focus on overseas markets or small-cap companies? - What's behind Brian's unflappable calm in the face of market volatility?

There are timeless principles that underlie stock trading. In this episode we discuss Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, considered by many to be a classic work in the space. First published in 1923, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre is a fictionalized biography based on the career of legendary stock trader Jesse Livermore. Through the first-person recounting of protagonist Lawrence Livingston's career, Lefevre imparts hard won stock trading lessons. Through many booms and busts Livingston grows and forms a deeper understanding of the principles that underlie the market as well as the forces that propel it. The fictionalized biography has minimal personal anecdotes, concentrating almost wholly on Livingston's career and the events that shape the US economy during his exploits from the 1890s through to the 1920s. We were pleased to be joined by investor and entrepreneur Brad Mills on this episode, a huge fan of the book.

"Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" by Edwin Lefèvre is a fictionalised biography based on the life and experiences of Jesse Livermore, a famous stock trader.  Jesse Livermore is considered a pioneer of day trading and at one time, Livermore was one of the richest people in the world;  Some of Livermore's trades, such as taking short positions before the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and just before the Wall Street Crash of 1929, are legendary within investing circles. However, he eventually committed suicide, largely due to the amount of leverage he took on and at that time he had liabilities greater than his assets. Some observers have regarded Livermore as the greatest trader who ever lived, but others have regarded his legacy as a cautionary tale about the risks of leverage to seek large gains rather than a strategy focused on smaller yet more consistent returns. The book provides insights into the mindset, strategies, and challenges faced by a successful speculator in the stock market during the early 20th century.

Gold had an epic bull market in the noughties - I still remember the key numbers like it was yesterday.There was the low in 1999 at $250/oz, marked for all eternity by Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, as he sold off two-thirds of British gold at the bottom of the market, when there were no compelling need to sell.That low was re-tested in 2001 and we got a classic double bottom, followed by eight years of bull market, which ended, after a big wobble in 2006, in 2008 at $1,030/oz. Then the Global Financial Crisis came along. Gold plummeted along with everything else. An unstoppable rebound lasting three more years followed. First, the gold price broke out to new highs, and on it marched until it eventually peaked in 2011, with the Greek debt crisis, at $1,920/oz.Then came the bear market. Five brutal years of pain. It went all the way back to $1,040/oz.The period between 2018 and 2020 saw gold rally again, heading north of $2,000/oz, albeit briefly.But here we are in early 2023. And guess what? As I write, gold sits at $1,920/oz - the same price as it was back in 2011. Markets remember prices.What's next for the gold price? Will it pull back from here? Maybe. Probably.It has rallied $300/oz in barely two months. It's overbought. Neither silver nor the miners are leading. That's usually not a good sign. Charlie Morris says gold is trading above fair value. Charlie Morris is usually right.You can get cute and try and trade it, but no one knows what is going to happen. It's a precious metal and it's a market. If they can throw you, they will.  But then again, gold usually does well when trust in financial markets is low. I'd say that's the case now. Do you risk your position in the hope that you can get back in lower? What if it goes up instead?Or you can take the longer-term view. Like the famed trader, Old Partridge, in Edwin Lefevre's Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, who never wanted to lose his position in a bull market, a view since echoed by a memed typo, you can just hodl on.We must each make our own choices, learn from them and live with them.What happens to the gold price if everyone starts buying? Here's a nice little thought experiment. I've heard it before - but I'd forgotten it, and it was brought to my attention again by Winston Miles of Canadian investment house Eight Capital.There was a presentation by strategist Grant Williams in 2016 called “What If?” when he asked what would happen if pension funds, which currently had a 0.15% weighting to gold, increased that allocation. Miles decided to run that scenario in today's marketplace.“According to the OECD's most recent data, global pension assets are $56 trillion. I could easily see pension funds getting up to 1% of their portfolio in precious metals on average. But let's be a bit more conservative and go with two-thirds of 1%, or 66bps… which is $373,903,924,800.“That amount of money …  could buy every single company that makes up the Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index… which would set them back a cool $297 billion.  Then they could buy every share of GLD, even taking delivery of all that gold if they wanted, as it's all sitting in a vault somewhere.  That would cost another $56 billion. Then with the scraps left over, they could buy every share of the GDX… GDXJ… SIL… AND the SILJ.” (Those are the gold and silver mining ETFs).In short, there's a lot of money out there. On a relative basis, there isn't a lot of trade-able gold, and there aren't that many gold mining companies. A small shift in the narrative could send the gold and silver markets a long way higher. “It's an environment,” says Miles, “where almost no major pensions have a portfolio manager focused on metals and mining. The infrastructure is totally gone. It's hard to add supply, the mines are old, it takes ten+ years to build new ones, these are really long lead time projects.”You can conduct the same thought experiments with oil, gas and coal. Very little allocation (largely because of ESG), and very little investment leading to tight supply and long lead times.You can conduct the same experiments with bitcoin. What happens to the bitcoin price, if bitcoin were to become a core, mainstream portfolio holding?They all go a lot higher.You can't say the same about tech, the S&P 500, or government bonds. They are already owned.The narratives for gold, fossil fuels or bitcoin may not change, but if they do, look out above.On this note, here is the S&P500 relative to gold since 2000. When the chart is rising, gold is rising relative to the stock market and vice versa. At $1,920/oz gold is a lot cheaper today, relative to the stock market, than it was when it was $1,920/oz back in 2011. It's a third of the price. To get back to those equivalent levels, assuming no change in the price of the S&P500, gold would have to triple. I like the sound of $5,700/oz gold!$5,700 gold - that's a stat worth sharing.Gold and gold minersHere are the gold miners relative to gold. With the plethora of new ways that opened up to get exposure to gold in the 2000s - ETFs, online bullion dealers, CFDs, spread bets and all the rest of it - investors stopped bothering with miners, and who can blame them?Too much incompetence, too many frauds, too much political and environmental risk - and all the rest of it.Miners have been falling since 2003. But they stopped falling in 2015. Since then they've gone sideways. They are, as the technicians say, “building cause”.I reckon the low is in. It came in 2015. And we re-tested it last year.What do you think?

“If people approached trading the same way they would a job – you show up, you be consistent, you do a good job – there is a strong expectation that you're going to get a regular paycheque from the market.” – Simon Ree  Connect with Simon Ree: Website & Special Offer!

[03:22] Simon and Patrick get rollin'! Simon explains when and why his fascination with the stock market began, how he got his professional start once out of university and where that has led him right up to today. His focus has changed somewhat, which better aligns with the contribution he prefers to make. [08:25] Patrick notes, the title of Simon's book isn't a natural fit for the subject matter! Simon shares first how the title came to be, and second his desire to make a book about options trading that is accessible, engaging, and light. Simon's book folds in topics like mindset, risk management and planning which provides more breadth and depth to help people get their business off the ground. [12:03] Emotional control and the right mindset are the final frontier of trading and investing in Simon's view. In a market, that's designed to have people do the wrong thing at the wrong time, it's fundamental when remembering how markets cycle. [14:54] Simon talks about decision making in the stock market, whether this platform is better for intuition or research, plus the framework he provides in his book and why it's so important, especially when emotions threaten to overtake. [17:56] Simon shares his viewpoint on the current state of North American markets, central banks, and the economy of the past few years. Simon also describes his response to the narrative and questions especially when people ask, “what should I do with my money?” by exploring fixed vs. growth mindset. [24:39] At a tumultuous time like the present, it's tempting to pull our cards off the table, but Patrick and Simon discuss the importance of understanding investing and markets (be it real estate or stocks) at just such a time, to capitalize and even profit from the opportunities that do exist. [28:15] Simon shares his definition of a trader and an investor, which is a little different, and explains what sort of commodities he invests in both short and long term. [31:04] Simon addresses one of the five big myths of Wall Street: 10% per annum is a fantastic return. He goes on to explain that where we are in the season of our life, will certainly inform our trading decisions. We need to do the research and show up consistently to see the returns. [35:00] In response to questions about his outlook on the next five years, Simon shares his “headlight theory of capital allocation.” He expands on that to explain what it means in practice. [40:20] Although he considers himself an entrepreneur by default, Simon's real passion is not in business or even running a business. It's teaching. From martial arts to investing, seeing that lightbulb go on for someone when they “get it” is one of the most rewarding experiences for Simon. [43:35] Is it the same thread that binds Simon's interest in martial arts with his interest in the stock market? He describes his start in judo as a kid and his fascination with and attraction to the career path he chose. [46:42] Simon gives his take and on the relatively new space of social investing and online commission-free investing platforms, along with some of the realities and a word of advice. [49:53] After losing a “life-changing sum of money” in 2008,

Ed Hyman, the number one ranked economist on Wall Street for 42 years, has warned of the unintended consequences of the Federal Reserve's rapid tightening policies. Hyman, who is Vice Chairman of Evercore and leads the economic research team at its Evercore ISI division, has been monitoring the factors behind the recent nominal GDP growth, including record low-interest rates and a surge in the money supply. However, inflation has been surging, and the Fed is raising rates at a faster clip, leading to weakness in the economy. Hyman's recent reports highlight the impact of the Fed's tightening measures.

Part 2 of 2 Legendary value investor Bill Miller is betting big on bitcoin. The digital currency and some related crypto investments now account for half of his personal investment portfolio. In part two of our interview with Miller, he discusses his rationale for taking such an outsized position, including why he has converted from being a self-described bitcoin “observer” to a bitcoin “bull” and why he is adding to his holdings when the currency has big declines. Since Miller is also celebrating his 40th anniversary in the investment business we delve into how much the investment landscape has changed and how his value approach has evolved over the last four decades. The conversation is not about Miller Opportunity Trust, it's about his personal portfolio. I began the interview by asking Miller why he has gone so big on bitcoin.

In this installment of our Recall this Buck series (check out our earlier conversations with Thomas Piketty, Peter Brown and Christine Desan), John and Elizabeth talk with Daniel Souleles, anthropologist at the Copenhagen Business School and author of Songs of Profit, Songs of Loss: Private Equity, Wealth, and Inequality (Lincoln : University of Nebraska Press 2019). Dan's work explores the world of private equity "guys" (who are indeed mostly guys) and the ways they are "suspended in webs of significance [they themselves have] spun" as Clifford Geertz puts it. Further, he explores the ways we are all suspended in these webs through the immense buying and managing power of private equity firms. Private equity investors buy out publicly traded companies, often through enormous debt (which is why these deals used to be called "leveraged buyouts" or LBOs), manage the companies and then sell them. They argue they are creating value by cutting fat in management; typically workers bear the brunt of the debt while executives--and the private equity firm and lawyers and others servicing the deal--receive hefty payments. Dan pulls off a tough feat in his book, helping us see the concerns and motivations of people he's working with as understandable and the people themselves as reasonable and even likeable, while also maintaining his own view of private equity as, generally speaking, a noxious force in society. We end with a discussion of the Occupy movement and how it helped to change public conversations about inequality and the power of finance (another angle on the themes we tackled in our earlier "Brahmin Left" conversations). Mentioned in this episode: Bryan Burrough and John Helyar, Barbarians at the Gates: The Fall of NJR Nabisco Karen Ho Liquidated; ethnography of Wall Street, and of "smartness" Edwin Lefèvre, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, (John misremembered the title as Confessions of a Stockjobber) Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho (1991) The transcript for this episode is here.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this installment of our Recall this Buck series (check out our earlier conversations with Thomas Piketty, Peter Brown and Christine Desan), John and Elizabeth talk with Daniel Souleles, anthropologist at the Copenhagen Business School and author of Songs of Profit, Songs of Loss: Private Equity, Wealth, and Inequality (Lincoln : University of Nebraska Press 2019). Dan's work explores the world of private equity "guys" (who are indeed mostly guys) and the ways they are "suspended in webs of significance [they themselves have] spun" as Clifford Geertz puts it. Further, he explores the ways we are all suspended in these webs through the immense buying and managing power of private equity firms. Private equity investors buy out publicly traded companies, often through enormous debt (which is why these deals used to be called "leveraged buyouts" or LBOs), manage the companies and then sell them. They argue they are creating value by cutting fat in management; typically workers bear the brunt of the debt while executives--and the private equity firm and lawyers and others servicing the deal--receive hefty payments.

They start by defining investing, gambling, and speculating, then launch into a discussion of casino gambling, sports betting, why people may conflate investing with gambling, and why the rise of Bitcoin seems to be affecting how millennials view the stock market. Anastasia discusses risk tolerance and the importance of beating inflation. Bill provides long-term perspective on speculative bubbles and his thoughts on the bull market we've been living in since 2009.  For more information: -If you have not listened to Creating Wealth's two-parter on Cryptocurrency Explained or Risk Tolerance, these make good companion episodes to this one. -Bill also highly recommends two books:  Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre and Extraordinary Popular Delusions and Madness of Crowds by Charles Mackay.

Maar speculeren is natuurlijk veel leuker. Je koopt een aandeel, het liefst op de bodem, en je verkoopt het na niet al te lange tijd. Het liefst op de top. De kans dat je iets op de bodem koopt, is echter klein. Hetzelfde geldt voor het verkopen op de top. Dat betekent dat je als speculant altijd enige mate van teleurstelling zal ervaren. Iemand die speculeert zou het boek Reminiscences of a Stock Operator van Edwin Lefèvre op zijn nachtkastje moeten hebben staan. Het boek dateert al uit 1923, maar is nog steeds up-to-date. Het gaat over speculant Jesse Livermore. Deze persoon heeft ook echt bestaan, maar het verhaal is flink geromantiseerd. Als u weer eens slapeloze nachten heeft over uw speculaties, kunt u dit boek ter hand nemen. Daar heeft hij alvast een tip over. Aan een vriend die van zijn speculaties niet kan slapen, adviseert hij om net zo veel te verkopen, tot hij weer de slaap kan vatten. Luister terug | Opinie: De krant van morgen Zoals Jesse Livermore speculeerde: dat is voor de meeste mensen niet weggelegd. Maar het boek staat vol met tips voor de gewone speculant, zoals u en ik. Zo adviseert hij om je fouten te erkennen, omdat je daar meer van kan leren dan van je successen. En neem je verlies snel. Dat is beter voor je vermogen en beter voor je gemoedsrust. Een mooie is ook; als een aandeel voor het eerst door een rond getal heen stijgt kun je met een gerust hart kopen. Koersen stoppen niet bij ronde getallen. Een andere tip is, dat als een aandeel de goede kant op gaat, je gewoon moet blijven zitten. Als je rustig in de winnaars als Apple, Microsoft of ASML had blijven zitten, had u een vermogen verdiend. Luister terug | Opinie: Iedereen blij Livermore concludeert dat de meeste beleggers alleen maar aandelentips willen. Ze willen zelf geen onderzoek doen. Ze willen niet eens nadenken, maar gewoon tips horen en rijk worden. Dat was toen dus niet anders dan nu. De belangrijkste tip is dus: wees een belegger en geen speculant. Livermore waarschuwt u echter alvast dat u de verleiding van de snelle winsten waarschijnlijk toch niet kan weerstaan. Ze lonken als sirenen. Probeer dan maar een goede speculant te worden. Beter een goede speculant dan een slechte belegger. Dus als u nog op vakantie gaat en u wilt wat succesvoller worden in uw speculaties, dan is dit boek mijn tip.

In today's episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with Dave Lundgren, a 30-year investment veteran who is now the co-host of the Fill The Gap podcast. Dave is an expert in technical analysis strategies. He's especially adept at watching trends and momentum swings in stock valuation. Currently, Dave serves on the CMT Association's board of directors and is a private investor.  Dave talks with Rusty and Robyn about the wonders of technical analysis, the difference between following trends and the following momentum, the role of sentiment in stock valuation, and how to master your investment style.  “It's not about finding the holy grail—finding the style that makes money all the time. It's about finding the style that fits you, and knowing that style inside and out so that when things are going wrong, you don't take it personally." ~ Dave Lundgren Main Takeaways  Technical analysis is as important as fundamental analysis. It's your road map; it shows you how to get to your destination. Focus on the price. There's a universal formula for price and it involves stock valuation and sentiment.  Master your own investing style. There's no absolute investing approach that makes more money over the long-term. Making money and overcoming setbacks are all about the execution of whichever method you use.

I have a close personal friend of mine recently reach out and start asking me questions about day trading. Initially, that made me very excited. The idea of sharing trading experiences and what’s going on in the stock market with someone close to me sounded great. However, I got to thinking of the beginnings of my trading journey... Like many of you I started by myself and was looking for courses/services to buy in order to learn. I now realize most of those courses promising a lambo lifestyle were scams. I did not want my buddy to go through that. So, tune in to learn what I wish somebody would have told me about day trading and making money from the stock market the right way.    First Four Books I Mention (In Order) :    Reminiscences of a Stock Operator - https://amzn.to/2LwbFbr Trading in the zone - https://amzn.to/35jFfb7 Volume Price Analysis - https://amzn.to/3s5Kx3x Technical Analysis- https://amzn.to/2Xkf4g1

BitcoinTina on Bitcoin - Bitcoin Magazine

In the fifth installment of the BitcoinTina on Bitcoin series, ck and BitcoinTina discuss the potential bull market scenarios for bitcoin. In this podcast we discuss 3 different Bitcoin price scenarios which are all very bullish but difficult and different to trade! https://twitter.com/BitcoinTina/status/1341981261007626240?s=20 The cornerstone of BitcoinTina's argument is that Bitcoin has a new class of buyer. Before the bitcoin market was run by the youth and the technologically advance. Now we are seeing baby boomers, institutions, and corporations come in with much more purchasing power, a very different need, and very different investing behaviors. Bitcoin is becoming safe. The investors that are entering into the Bitcoin Market in 2021 have watched tech stocks go straight up for 20 years. Many of them traded tech wrong and missed the move. Some will get that Bitcoin is the same but much bigger. It matters who is coming in to buy Bitcoin. Michael Saylor said that if you understand bitcoin, you can not own just a 1% position. It's absurd! If you hold bitcoin you have an advantage financially. With Bitcoin you are on the high ground. You can't just have a 1% position you can't afford it. Investors, stackers, and Institutions are realizing this. No one knows how bitcoin will play out but if you don't even understand the player in the game there is no way you will begin to understand its trajectory.

It always was my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight! It is no trick at all to be right on the market. You always find lots of early bulls in bull markets and early bears in bear markets. I've known many men who were right at exactly the right time, and began buying or selling stocks when prices were at the very level which should show the greatest profit. And their experience invariably matched mine that is, they made no real money out of it. Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon. I found it one of the hardest things to learn. But it is only after a stock operator has firmly grasped this that he can make big money. It is literally true that millions come easier to a trader after he knows how to trade than hundreds did in the days of his ignorance. " (Page 53 Reminiscences of a Stock Operator)

Today, I want to be talking about trading for a living without trading. Huh? What? Allen, what are you talking about? How do you do trading without trading, but to doing it for a living? That doesn't make any sense. Alan, what you talking about? Well, allow me to explain. Now, you see trading for a living sounds great. Whether you do it professionally and you manage other people's money and you get a percentage of the profits or whatever, or you trade for your own. You trade your own money and you grow it, grow it, grow it over time, and then you have enough money to earn a decent income from it so that you don't have to work. You don't have to do anything else. You're covering your expenses. We have people doing it both ways, and it just sounds interesting and exciting. It's like I trade for a living and it gives you a boost to your confidence as well, I got to tell you that. If you feel bad about yourself, but you're like, yeah, I trade for living. Oh, man. You're on top of the world. That's why they call themselves, these hedge fund guys, they call themselves masters of the universe. Because he is a key man. You got your chest stuck out like, I trade for a living! It's like if you're at a party, people come up to you and say, hey, how are you doing? What do you do? And you're like, I, trade for a living! I go into the markets and I bend them to my will to do my bidding, with just my wits and my brains. I make money from thin air. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Well, I mean, you probably don't want to do it with the evil laugh at the end. But I mean that's the way most people look at it. Unfortunately, most people have, even traders, have a misconception about trading for a living because they normally think of day traders who by definition have to trade for a living because that's their job. That's what they do. If they don't trade, they don't eat. If they have a trade on, they have to go to the bathroom, they can't. They have to wait until the trade is over. They can either pee their pants or if they leave, then they might lose money on the trades and they can't do that. But most professional traders are not like that. They let their assets or their money work for them. They let the markets come to them and they only trade when they feel they have an advantage. This advantage, it doesn't come every day or multiple times a day. I mean, you take for example, Jesse Livermore. Now he's not famous anymore, but back in the day in the 1920s and '30's, this guy was the major trader. Everybody knew his name. He made millions back then and this is in 1920 dollars. He actually wrote a book about it called Reminiscences. I don't even know how to say this word. Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. He used a pseudonym as the author of that book, but there's another book specifically about him called Jesse Livermore, World's Greatest Stock Trader. Now I would urge you, if you're interested in stocks and trading and whatnot, even options, you should get both of these books. I love them. I read them from time to time. He's one of my favorite classic traders and you can actually learn a lot from the way he thought by reading his books and understanding what he was going through when he was thinking about trades, when he was ... when things were happening in the markets, how he would react to them. How we would see them. He was probably one of the first people who ever used technical analysis before they even knew what that was. At that time back then, they didn't even know or they didn't have any understanding that markets would move in certain patterns. And so, he was in his brain without even doing the charting in his brains, he was able to discover these patterns. But, he did not trade every day. He wasn't in the market all the time. His keys to success, one of them at least was to wait. One of his most famous quotes is that the money is made in the waiting. He was called the boy plunger. So what he would do is he would wait. He had his whole big stock portfolio just sitting there waiting. Not in the markets every day. He didn't care what happened every day. But then, he would notice something happening in the market. He would notice that there is something abnormal happening and then when that happened, he would go all in. Now I'm not saying we need to do this. Eventually he did end up going bankrupt. Actually he went bankrupt several times, but the last time he couldn't recover. I don't remember if he actually killed himself or not. I don't remember that part, but he ended up, he never recovered the last time. But, he was able to make millions along the way If he had put it into other investments, he probably would've been okay, but he didn't, so there's also that lesson to be learned. But then we have, what he was waiting for, the proper opportunity. He was waiting for the chance where the odds were in his favor. Now he wasn't selling options. I don't even think they had options back then, so he didn't have the opportunity that we have as option sellers and passive traders to wait and to do trades that have the odds in our favor from the beginning. But his thing was, he was a stock trader and so he would wait until the market showed him or a particular stock showed him that he was going to make a big move in one direction or the other. That's when he would go all in for it. Now, I bring this up today because right now it's August, 2019. When I'm recording this, it's today's the seventh. The markets this month have started off very rough. We're down about 7% on the S&P 500 as I record this. Now, I don't know what's going to happen later on, and it doesn't really matter if you're listening to this much later. You could be listening to this to a year or two years from now. It doesn't really matter. But the fact is that this is going to happen. There are going to be times in the markets where we have big declines or we have big upswings, but mostly the declines happen really, really fast. The bull goes up the stairs, the bear goes out the window. The bear's going to go down a lot faster than the bull makes it up to the top. But in that event, what do you do? Should you be trading in such a market when in one week the market is down 7%, it's down 3%, then it's up 2% then it's down 5% or 4%. Well, if you can make money in a volatile market or you're a pro short seller, then yes, go ahead and trade. That's your element. That's your thing. You go and you do it. But if you're a at home gamer option seller, then probably not. I had this argument with one of my students in our Blank Check Coaching Program in which we sell oil options. That's the whole program there. We sell oil options. He was upset because he was trading for a living. Doing well at it for several months, over a couple of years. But he was upset when the oil market was not cooperating. Now I tried to explain to him, I said, look man, you don't always need to be in the market. Every month the market is not going to cooperate. It doesn't matter how good your strategy is, how good your trading plan is, how good of a trader you are. There are times when you will lose money and there's nothing you could do about it. But the reason that we sell options, we know that over time we are going to continue to win. It's a longterm game. Not just over one month or two months but over 12, 24, 36 months, we know that we're going to come out ahead. So yes, this month, August, 2019 might be a volatile month. It might be a down month and you might have lost a little bit of money. But if you're an option seller, we have the opportunity to get back in right next month and do it again and make money and then make money and make money and we'll go recover our losses. Over the long term we come out ahead. But if you are trading for a living, sometimes you don't have that ability to look at the long term because you've got to pay the mortgage this month. And like the student, he expected to take his expense money out of the market every single month. That's just not realistic. Now you might be sold something otherwise, you might be told oh hey, you could be a day trader or take this course or take this course and we'll teach you how to make money every single time. All your expenses will be paid from the market. No, that's not realistic. I'll tell you the truth, right now the markets are down. I currently only have one trade on in my trading account. I mean, in my retirement accounts, I still have my covered calls and I have some naked puts on that I sold to take advantage of the situation of this downturn. But in my trading account, I have one trade and it's a small trade. That one trade is not going to pay my bills this month, but that's okay because I knew that this type of event can happen. I built in a safeguard and I have a cushion. I know times like this will come when I don't want to be trading. You look at any hedge fund, they are not fully invested all the time. Heck, they're almost never fully invested. Meaning they don't always have 100% of their money at risk in the market invested in something. They don't have to make a killing every single month to survive. They play the long game. It's about a yearly return for them. Even though we sell options and we trade and we talk about trading for a living and our expenses come every month, that doesn't mean that we have to look at our trading on a month by month basis. I mean, of course we do because we want to see how we're doing. But if you look at it on a yearly basis, you'll get a much better picture and a much better idea. If you look at long term 12, 24, 36 months, that's how your account grows. So when people asked me, Allen, how much of my money should I put into this trade or into this strategy? Or how much money do I need to make X every month? I'm not sure what to tell them. It's surprisingly how often I get that question. Alan, I need to make $2,000 a month. How much money do I need? I can't tell you. I mean, we did an episode on that to help you figure out what number. I don't know what it podcast episode it was, but if you go on the list, that's the title of it. How Much Do I Need to Make X? You can listen to that one. I go into that more detail, but every month is different and every person is different. I don't know. I can't give you a number and say, if you want to make $5,000 a month, well you need to have an account with, oh, let's say $50 thousand dollars and you'll make 10% every month. I can't say that because there might be some months when you do, but they're going to be other months when you don't. That would be a lie. There's too many variables. You need to have your trading money and if you trade for a living, you need to have savings, a cushion that you can tap into when you are not trading or the markets are not cooperating, which they do from time to time. The worst thing to do in this situation is to force a trade. Because if you feel like, oh man, I have to do something. I have to do this. I have to do something. I have to take advantage of the situation. Oh the market's dropped 7% I don't think it's going to go up anymore. I think I'm going to go short the market right now. Well, when the market drops two, 3% in a day or more, it can turn around the next day and jump up the same amount or even more. If you force a trade, you stand the chance of getting your face ripped off and that's going to double the compound. I mean, maybe you already lost money because the market went down unexpected. Okay, fine. You lost money. Well, now you're going to double down and say, all right, now I'm going to short the market and the thing's going to rally because that's what markets do. Then you're gonna lose on both sides and then you're going to be even more upset. Then you're definitely going to be on tilt, which means you're not going to be emotionally stable. You're going to be looking at all different kinds of trades and you're always like, aw man, I got to pay the bills this month. I've got to pay the mortgage. Oh my God, what do I do? What do I do? That's not the way to trade. That's not the mental status you need to be trading. That's not the way, the time, the mental frame that you need to be in to trade effectively, to trade properly. It doesn't matter what strategy you're using. So yeah, if you want to trade for a living, you need to know when not to trade and that you don't always have to be trading. That's the whole point of this episode. Don't force trades. Don't always be trading. Like that student I mentioned, if you have to always be trading to earn an income, then that tells me that you don't have enough funds to be trading in the first place for a living. You should go up and save more. That's the bottom line. So while the pundits on the financial media are freaking out right now and nobody knows when the markets are going to stop falling. I am just going to sit on the sideline and wait. I'm going to wait for the VIX to calm down. I'm going to wait for markets to calm down before I dip my toes back in the water. I mean, I had my trades on and this month I'm going to lose money. I already know that. Well not necessarily, the month is still young. But I had my trades on, and the markets turned around and I got out. I took losses and I got out of every single trade except this one. I'm like okay. My losses that I took are manageable. I didn't wait and think, oh, things are going to turn around, things are going to turn on. No, I saw a change in the market and I said I'm getting out. We did that. We did that on all of our services Option Genius, Simon Says, every trade we're out. Now, when the market calms down, we're going to get back in. Then the trades that we put on, hopefully will recover what we lost and hopefully more. Or if not this month, then in the next two, three months we'll recover everything that we got back. That's how you play the long game. Because yeah, you'll lose a little bit of money in a month or two, but you add up all the wins from all the good months and that recovers and it gives you a good yearly yield. So when you look at the longterm picture, 12, 24, 36 you come out ahead. That's what I mean by you come out ahead that way. So again, trading for a living without trading means that if you are having to be forced to trade, if you have to be in the market all the time, there's a very good chance that you're going to lose all your money and that you're not going to be able to trade. Just like Jesse Livermore, he sat around waiting for the perfect opportunity for him. For us, we have good opportunities every month, but that doesn't mean we need to be trading. Doesn't mean we need to be in the markets. If we don't understand what's going on in the market. If the market is too volatile for our taste. If our strategy calls for a slow market and we don't have that, we wait. We only trade when the odds are in our favor. That's what it comes down to.

One of the great Investment books of all time is Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, which is the fictionalized biography of perhaps the most famous Financial Speculator of all time: Jesse Livermore. There is no doubt that even today, 100 years later, we can all learn from of the experiences of successful Investors. In this Best of Top Traders Unplugged, which I have appropriately titled Reminiscences of 3 Trend Followers, Michael Adam, David Harding and Marty Lueck, also known as the founders of AHL, finally shed light on one of the best kept secrets of modern finance.  I sat down with them in Abbey Road Studios in London, on the 30-year anniversary of when they founded AHL.  The conversation turned out to be witty, inspiring, and far more entertaining than it had any right to be.  So, enjoy these truly unique takeaways from my conversation with Michael, David and Marty, and if you would like to listen to the conversation in full, just go to Top Traders Round Table Episode 11. Sugarcoating The Medicine Of Trend Following Niels: Now, rightly or wrongly my understanding of Winton and Aspect, in the early years, was that both firms had an emphasis on Trend Following within your strategies. From what I've observed, over the years, this seems still to be the case for you, Marty, at Aspect, but perhaps less so for you David. So let me come to you first on this one, David. If my observation is right, when did you begin to move away from the classical trend following approach, if I can call it that? Also, what was your motivation for doing so? David: It's a question of degree. There's still a fair amount of Trend Following in what we do but when we were doing our research in the early 90s we did a literature review and looked at what else, what other opportunities there were and we scoured the literature. Time and time again we came across academic papers referring to what is now called carry - the phenomenon of carry.  So we focused a lot of our research on that.  We developed a bunch of trading systems which used that and we even got as far as implementing those trading systems. They all went a bit wrong in the ERM - when Sterling exited the ERM. At that stage, we had quite a bureaucratic board process and it had become hard to take risks and so all those systems were taken out. The significance is that they went on and worked very, very well for the next 20 years - as well as Trend Following, actually. So, we didn't use that until maybe 2005 or 2006 or 2007 but it worked extremely well. There were other things that we were developing back then, which also worked, subsequently. They're not in the form that we were developing. There are some things that we developed back then which we still use today. To really fully exploit the potential of this kind of research you have to move into equity markets and it took me a long, long, long time to develop all the infrastructure and expertise to deal with thousands of equities, databases, corporate actions, and so on and so forth. By the time we'd done that the easy money in Convertible Arb was long gone, that was long gone - after 2008 really, with a number of other strategies, the easy money was long gone.  My own pitch is I just don't think the markets... There will never be no opportunities for people to do more research in science. Some people think that we're on the verge of a grand unified field theory of everything, and a grand unified field theory of efficient markets, and I just don't believe that. I know people who say, "Well, what it is then? What is the next big thing then?" Well, I don't know, that's why you have to do research. Niels: Very true. You've stayed true to your roots to a large extent Marty: To degrees, to degrees, Aspect was predicated on this trend following approach being an important utility that was begin overlooked by the investment community. It really did deserve a place in people's portfolios. The irony,

Michael Covel interviews Josh Hawes. Josh is the Risk Officer and Investment Manager of Hawking Alpha. He is a trend following trader now who started off at Goldman Sachs. Josh breaks apart the trading industry, highlighting many of the cons associated with the mutual fund space. Josh has always had a passion for math. He started looking at the performance of different funds within Goldman. As soon as he started to look at returns of some, he began to see a disconnect. They would judge themselves off “beating the index” but they were still losing massive amounts of money. They would also have access to CEO’s of top companies and still not be able to make money off of the information they would share. This is when he began to transition out of the company and turn to other forms of trading, not just long only. Josh was given many books to read while at Goldman. “Reminiscences of a Stock Operator” was one that resonated with him the most. “Trend Following” was another book that Josh had come across. “Trend Following” triggered him to reach out to some of the traders mentioned in the book. Ed Seykota and Jerry Parker were just a couple of the traders he was able to spark up a conversation with by reaching out. Next, Michael and Josh break apart index investing. Josh says everyone should ask themselves, “Why does the market owe you anything? And if the market goes down, does that not mean that the markets can go down for a long period of time?” You can’t say that you should go long the market because for 200 years the market has gone up. There has been massive ups and downs and you have to be able to navigate the down periods. Michael then asks, “How does one become the next Warren Buffett?” Josh says that 2008 is one of the best examples of why you could never be the next Warren Buffett. There are a lot of people in the mutual fund space that try and mirror Buffett. Some of these people fail trading the exact strategy as Buffett. So does that make Buffett lucky or a genius? Josh and his firm guarantees to always follow their stops. He guarantees his clients that he will be a trend follower and although he can not guarantee any level of return, he will always follow his stops. This sets Josh and other trend followers apart from fundamental traders. Josh then segues into what he believes are the four ways to make money: When prices move, when prices don’t move, arbitrage, and high frequency trading. He expands on these four points and gives examples. Michael and Josh end the podcast on the importance of talking directly with clients and connecting with people on a personal basis.

Michael: Hello everybody, this is Michael Gross of OptionSellers.com here with your Option Seller Radio Show. We have a very special guest for you this month. This month’s guest is Price Headley. Price is the founder and president of BigTrends.com. He is one of the nations most well known experts on options trading and technical analysis. Price was also inducted into the trader’s hall of fame in 2007. Price, welcome to the show. Price: Thanks Michael, great to be here. Michael: Price, I know you’re very familiar with many different types of options strategies. I’m sure several of our listeners have been to BigTrends.com. It’s a very informative website. Maybe we can start out, Price, by you just telling us a little bit about your background and how you got started in the trading industry. Price: Sure. I was a student at Duke University, actually, studying to be an equine veterinarian. My family’s been in the thoroughbred horse business for generations, and I think I was going to go down that path and then got hooked into a trading contest, a collegiate contest, where ironically I was in the bottom quartile of participants in a four month contest with a month to go, and realized I needed to do something different. So I started actively trading it every day. This is just paper money back in the late 80’s. Turned around and finished in the top 1% of participants and said “Yeah, I think there’s some opportunity here, something I’m really good at, so I told my dad I wanted to do something more conservative than thoroughbred horse breeding. I wanted to trade stocks and options. He thought I was a little crazy, but actually it worked out really well. That was kind of a formative point for me of realizing I really enjoyed more active trading and saw lots of opportunities there. That was back in the day before the Internet, just reading the paper and seeing things that were happening. Now, of course, there’s just even more at all of our fingertips with the Internet, and the ease of access of information. Michael: Okay. So tell us about BigTrends. What do you provide there? How can investors benefit from that? Price: Yeah, sure. I launched BigTrends.com back in 1999 and did it because I thought such a push for information on the web. At the BigTrends.com site, for starters, a lot of free educational information about active trading, and, in particular, you allude to option trading. I’ve always felt like once you learn the core principals of how to find the right stock or market to trade, you of course then can learn option strategies to figure out how to trade that with a lot less capital and a lot more potential return on your investment and still control your risk. We teach people all kinds of strategies, not just in technical analysis, which is pretty much a driving factor for active traders, but then also aspects related to the psychology of trading related to how to build your trading plan. Really just all the different aspects that a trader’s going to go through to assess how to create essentially a business plan to be successful in trading over time. Michael: So, if somebody wanted to be a self-directed trader or, especially, self-directed options trader, your site would really show them a system of a way to get set up to do that. Price: Exactly. Whether you trade stocks, options, even futures, you can apply those principals, but yes, the options is really our focus so that you can really take more control over that part of your portfolio that you want to control. We don’t tell people that you shouldn’t put all of your money into options strategies. We recommend diversification across a lot of different vehicles, but for that piece that you want more of a kicker on your portfolio for additional growth, and then come opportunities. We see more and more people taking that step to empower themselves, and, of course, education is really the starting point to have the proper knowledge to then do things correctly over time. Michael: Okay. You authored a book, Price, called Big Trends in Trading. It’s an Amazon.com investing bestseller. Can you explain a little bit about what that title means and what type of an approach you recommend in the book? Price: Absolutely. So, Big Trends in Trading, I really wanted to take a more quantitative approach in terms of showing people. I wasn’t just talking the talk but actually backing up what I was suggesting as the appropriate strategies to have a meaningful edge by actually showing a lot of systematic trading that I had done and testing that I had done, so actual results based testing. Everything we do here at BigTrends is really geared around that philosophy, which is it has got to have a meaningful edge, not just a little edge, because you’ve got to, obviously, as a trader overcome the cost side in terms of the commissions that you pay, plus any of your other setup costs for your computer and what not. Basically, our view is looking at systems that had a meaningful edge. I started BigTrends in trading with really the overall market-based systems how to really effectively time the market. A lot of the conventional literature says you can’t time the market, but my experience has said that there are a lot of opportunities where you can time the market. More importantly, all of the big mutual funds will tell you that you can’t because they want to have you keep your money with them so they can keep collecting fees on your mutual fund money, but the reality is that would have you miss the best twenty days how much return you give up. But actually, if you miss the best twenty days and the worst twenty days, you’re still ahead of the game because of how painful those crashes can be if you’re invested. Of course, we also like to teach people on options, you know, how to profit from the downside as well as the upside. So, to me, options open you up to a lot more opportunities. We take big trends in trading from the overall market to then stock selection trading, including some indicators I’ve developed, like one called Acceleration Bands, which of course is, as the name sounds, geared around finding faster moving situations which is pretty much how I built my capital to be able to start BigTrends from money I made myself in the 90’s. Basically, from that point, taking you into options strategies and then some people even say the last chapter is the best one, which is the trading psychology money management piece, where there’s a lot of smart minds on Wall Street that have blown themselves up because they basically flew too close to the sign, had too much leverage, got too aggressive. So, it’s about how to keep yourself balanced through the invariable winning and losing trades and how to stick with the game for the long haul. Michael: You made some great points there, Price, and anybody listening, if you want to take some notes there there’s some great insights to any type of trading there that Price just mentioned. Price, one of those things, the reason I bring it up is because we preach a lot of those same principles when we’re talking about applying options in the commodities markets. Two things that I wanted to touch on that you made a good point of there: One is the importance of systems, which we talk about a lot. I think a lot of people, especially investors I talk to, they start out on options “Oh, I’m going to try one here, try one there”, and a lot of people that just dabble end up losing initially because they’re just testing it out. The people that really benefit over the long haul use a system. They have system, they have rules they follow, and it sounds like that’s one of the big things that you’re talking about in your book. Price: Absolutely. Those systems can be critical. If you’re just kind of saying “which way did you wake up on which side of the bed this morning”, and kind of just trying to react to the news, that reactivity is what gets a lot of traders in trouble. You really have to take a more proactive approach and, as you said, Michael, that’s what the systems approach will help you with. Michael: Price, there was another point there that’s very interesting you brought up. Tell me if you agree with this. It’s been my experience that a lot of investors that aren’t real familiar with options yet, they tend to have a biased to the upside, where we have to buy and hope the price goes up. One of the biggest adjustments, or benefits, you could possibly make for any type of options trading really is it doesn’t matter which way the market is going. If you have the right options strategy on, you can benefit if it’s going up, sideways, or down, just depends on the strategy you have on. Price: Absolutely. Like we were saying, it just opens you up to so many more scenarios. That was always the attraction to me to options. I’d say tell me which scenario you want- up, down, or sideways and under what timeframe, and we can construct an options strategy that will succeed if that basic view plays out. You can start cash-flowing markets that are going nowhere. You can, like you said, make money on the downside. As we all know, stocks fall faster than they rise. So, when you catch it correctly, there’s even more money to be made more quickly in put options, which are essentially rights to sell a security, which will become more valuable as the market drops. It really does open people up to a lot more opportunities, but as you said, the typical beginning trader comes in and maybe does some cover call options on stocks they own, still essentially neutral to both bullish types of strategies or just looks to buy calls, so I’m betting on the upside. You’re right, it’s a big conversion in mindset. You can’t just buy low with options, you can’t just think, “Well, stocks are down, so therefore I’ll buy some calls and it should start working it’s way back up”. You’ve got that time component on options are a limit life asset. So, basically, if you just sit still in a stock, it’s not going down anymore, but if it’s not going up and you bought calls betting on it going up, a lot of people, of course, buy the at-the-money calls that are about where the current price of the stock is, those are most vulnerable to the passage of time. So you really need to get speed of movement, which is why the techniques like the acceleration bands are so important to catch. That phase of a trend that’s moving faster than essentially what the market expects. Michael: Sure, those are all great points as well. I’m going to talk to you a little bit about your preferences in trading here. I know you’re both an expert in technical timing as well as options, but in reading some of your blog entries and articles, CBOE and on your website, you also provide an incredible amount of fundamental data on stocks, the economy as a whole. Do you feel fundamentals play a role in technical trading? Price: Certainly, fundamentals really create the backdrop. If you think of it as kind of a time frame sort of a differentiation, the fundamentals create your long-term backdrop and your technicals are much more of the short-term, sort of how your zigging and zagging within what kind of an environment fundamentally you’re in. Remember, also, it’s not just the environment we’re in, but the markets are going to anticipate when the environment is due to change. You know, if we’re talking about changes in interest rates, obviously interest rate policies had a huge impact on the bull market that we’ve had in the last seven years or so. Basically, you’re looking at that quantitative easing, creating that kind of easy money approach where really made stocks the only game in town, comparatively at least. From that perspective, that pushed a lot more money into stocks. When that starts to shift and you start to see when and if higher rates ever do come around, that obviously will change that fundamental, and not become more of a monetary landscape, but it’s still part of this bigger picture of fundamentals you allude to. You’ve got to be careful though about certain fundamentals like if you look at, say, the unemployment rate and the jobs data, that’s a very lagging kind of indicator. So yes, the unemployment rate’s been cut in half over the last seven or eight years, but basically if you say “buy because they unemployment rate’s low”, you’ve got to make sure those fundamentals are really catalyst in drivers of future impact. We put a lot of energy into things like earnings, because earnings are very important in determining the ultimate value of a stock, as essentially the amount of anticipated cash flow, not just now what it’s generating, and how it’s anticipated to generate in the future. From that perspective, I’d say if there’s one fundamental that I constantly look at, it’s earnings and how not just the actual earnings but how the stock is behaving after those earnings reports. So that’s a really good one to keep in mind, because good news tends to beget more good news, and ones will tend to pile on to positive news and start upgrading the stocks, so those things kind of almost become self-fulfilling prophecies when you’ve got a really positive earnings surprise. On the other side, when it’s starting to roll over and you start to miss earnings estimates, you really do see the analysts jump ship a lot and you see a lot of pressure on stocks that are missing their estimated earnings. Watch the news and, of course, watch how the stock behaves after that news with different rallies, after earnings news it also can be a pretty good sign that there’s still more institutions that want to be a part of that earnings story going forward. So, you get kind of an extended catalyst that can last from quarter to quarter and even from year to year. Michael: Okay. Yeah, that’s very similar what we do over here on the commodities side, Price. We’re using the fundamentals as the background, maybe leaning on them a little bit more because we’re focusing on supply/demand here. From what you’re saying, it sounds like the fundamentals are the backdrop, and if you do get, say, a stock that gets a positive earnings, maybe you’re watching technical signals a little bit closer for buy signals at that point. Would that be fair to say? Price: It would be fair to say that, assuming you’ll align your technicals with that backdrop of the fundamentals. If they don’t align, you’ve got good fundamental news but you’re seeing things that look bad technically, we kind of will pay attention to that, but maybe just not try to take those trades where you don’t have that alignment between the technicals and the fundamentals. So, to us, a lot of traders think, especially newer traders, when they get into the game they’ve got to trade every day to justify their choice to be a more active and more involved trader a big part of their time, but, actually, a good thing to remember is that being a good trader means you’re first a good observer of what’s going on. You know when the odds are in your favor versus if they’re not in your favor, you get these cross currents between those technicals and fundamentals, and you learn to back off and that it’s okay to have a good portion of cash if you don’t have a clear edge, and wait until you have your edge to start to then make your investments accordingly. Michael: Okay. Let’s talk about technicals for a minute. I’m sure you could probably talk to us for the next eight hours about technical trading. From a real technical guy like yourself, do you have any favorite indicators that you like to lean on? Price: Absolutely. There are several that I go back to again and again. I’ve mentioned my Acceleration Bands, which people always ask “Is that like a Bollinger Band”, you know, John Bollinger developed a standard deviation band that’s become a real staple in a lot of people’s analysis. There are some similarities to it. The difference I would say with Acceleration Bands is they factor in the trend component more, in addition to the volatility component. We want to know what the expected range of prices should be for a stock or a market, but then we want to know when it moves out of that expected area. That’s when you see shifts in people’s perceptions of value, that’s when you see major trends develop to the upside or to the downside. We’ve added in other indicators, some of which are out there on most platforms, for example, Larry Williams developed an indicator called the Percent Range Indicator, or often just called %R, and it measures where the stock is in it’s existing range from typically a low to high range, 0-100%, essentially is what we look at. We’ve found that actually stocks that continually stay in the upper quintile, that is, the upper 20% of their readings, are stocks that are usually continued to make higher and higher prices. So, therefore, it becomes almost a trend definer when something is staying in that “over bought” area. A lot of people have been trained in the technical world that over bought is a very bad word- that you should be looking for the downside. We found that, actually, over bought can be very good if it fits a certain profile. Does that idea that in an uptrend, sure, strength begets strength, but people want to be a part of things that are going up and want to bail on things that are going down. So, sometimes in the bottom 20% where you see some of the crash-type scenarios happen for stocks and markets, or the institutions keep saying no, they don’t want to be a part of that, they want out. From that perspective you’ve got to sometimes retrain yourself, and that’s what we’ve ended up doing at BigTrends a lot is retraining newer traders that come to us or traders that think they know how it works from other things they’ve been doing, and saying yes, in a trading range, over bought/over sold, it’s kind of just going to chop around, up and down. We’re looking for the more meaningful moves where you get really a flush. For example, January of 2016, beginning of this year, you had just a quick initial gap down in the markets very first day- very unusual. Usually that’s a positive day, more often than not, to try and see if we can get off to a good start for the new year. It gaps down and then we fall through the downside right behind that, and that led to really several weeks of persistent selling pressure in January. That created a real opportunity for downside traders in put options or, you know, other strategies geared toward the bearish side for options. So, my view is that you have to see something like that through the Acceleration Bands or through the %R, what we call the BigTrends way, which is just looking at those top 20 and bottom 20 percent areas where something can really start to really move more dramatically. Make sure, if you’re the typical trading range trader, that you don’t get caught trying to fade or bet against those over bought periods and think it’s going to come down or in over sold periods think it’s going to bounce back up, because as the old trading motto goes “the markets can remain ‘irrational’ longer than you can remain solvent”. So, the idea becomes see what the wind up trend opportunity is and learn how to take advantage of it. One of the nice things too, Michael, that we have showed people within say a %R trend phase is re-entry strategies. Once you see that first break down point, how do you get back on the wagon to play it for another pot down after a bounce? What we have taught and found quite useful is finding these what we call “re-tests”, and variably, of course, you’re in a downtrend, you will get a bounce. It might be a one or two day kind of a bounce on a daily chart, the short-covering rally kind of phase, and the question is, is that the bottom or is that just a quick short list sort of flush of some of the we cans, and then you see it stop, and you see it go into another leg down. That retracement phase is really where we find some really good, especially on a risk-adjusted basis, a really good opportunities to hop on board a train. If we’re wrong, and it does violate that little retracement area, then we’ll get right back out, but if we’re right about it kind of retracing and holding into that support of resistance, then we get the wonderful entries within a trend. That’s something a lot of trader’s miss, is they think “Oh, I missed the first breakout move, therefore I’ve got to watch from the sidelines. I can’t chase it now, it’s too late.” Yet, you’ll go back and look later and see wow, there’s a lot more life in that trend. We show people those retracement points to get back on the horse. Often times two, three, four, five times in a daily chart trend we’ve seen some that have lasted up to as many as ten really good re-entry points before that trend will finally fade. So, if you’ve got multiple times you can hop on effectively and then you finally get stomped out on a trend, it gives you a lot of confidence to say “okay, I can keep my risks low. If I’m wrong, I’ll be out quickly”. Especially with options that’s important because you don’t lose a lot of time, and if I’m right I catch a wonderful spot to hop on board for the next trend phase. Michael: Thus the term Big Trends. Price: Exactly. That’s what we’re looking for. Leave the little trends to everybody else and focus on the bigger trends for sure. Michael: Okay. Let’s talk about options strategy a little bit. Most of our listeners here, Price, are options sellers, but I’m sure a lot of them are interested in all different types of options strategies. I noticed BigTrends offers quite a bit of information, courses, and resources on trading options in general. Having experience in so many kinds of options trading, do you have one or two favorite bread and butter options strategies that you tend to favor in your personal trading? Price: Well, the first step would be to identify that there are opportunities, I believe, on both the selling side of options and the buying side of options. We know markets don’t trend the majority of the time, although there’s always a bull market and a bear market somewhere. That’s why we look at, of the 4,000 plus optionable stocks in the ETS, we probably look at several hundred of them we consider to be liquid and active enough to handle plenty of volume for our subscribers. On the sell side, we tend to prefer the credit spread approach where you’re sewing an option out-of-the-money, so you’re benefitting from that time erosion. Then, at the same time you sell one option, you’re buying another option a little further out, a cheaper one to protect yourself, so you’re still getting that credit, that initial premium, in that an option seller wants, but you’re also protecting yourself and defining what your worst-case risk is. We just found that we just like the credit spreads better for the defined protected risk. You know, if the market has a crazy gap or stock has a crazy gap, then you’re on the wrong side of it. You’re avoiding that bigger hit in the case of some kind of really bad news day that goes against you. So, defining your risk is very important, and we always want to go into a trade knowing what our maximum risk is on the trade. So, that’s why credit spread’s a favorite neutral to time-based strategy to collect premium. Michael: Okay, so your preferred selling strategy is the vertical selling spreads. Price: That’s right. Michael: Sure. Okay, that’s some great insight, Price. Let’s shift gears here a bit and talk about today’s market. There seems to be just kind of a general sense of anxiety right now about the state of the world and the markets. Are you seeing that reflected in stock option values you follow? Is anxiety still driving the VIX or do you see it calming down now? Price: Well, certainly the VIX has really plunged back down, you know, as the markets have rallied back up here and by mid-April the volatility indexes have really fallen. You know, those things tend to move kind of in opposite fashion as the stocks were dropping. In January, you saw that big volatility spike upwards, so those things and patterns really haven’t changed, in my view. We do expect to see a lot of second half volatility in 2016 as we head into and even after the presidential election coming up in November. We would expect, as you look back when we elected new presidents back in 2008 and also in 2000, those were pretty rough times for the markets there in the second half, and into really even the beginning of the next year, if not further. So, our view would be that, not to say we’re expecting there has to be another great recession and another 2008 necessarily to kind of collapse, but we are expecting that we will see more volatility. Of course, that’s where you can kind of use options accordingly. One caution of course would be some people will look at the VIX and look at the VIX options and think, “well, the VIX is at 13. If I’m buying a 13 call or a 13 put it should be the same price”. Well, it’s not, because the VIX is priced against the futures on volatility, which are expecting that we will see a snap back in volatility in the second half. So, I’m not necessarily saying anything the market’s not already expecting to some degree, the question is can we get more volatility than what the markets expect? So, just be careful on that when you look at your options. You’ve got to make sure you’re pricing against the proper vehicle on volatility levels. Bottom line, we think that there is some bit of resonance, even as the market’s snapped back towards these highs, we see that people are kind of worried with the way the markets started in January this year, and worried about if that’s a pattern that is going to be played out again like what we saw in 2008. I would say, that’s a real simple, technical indication that you can keep an eye on with the 200 day moving average. That’s just a simple trend line looking back to the last 200 day closes. If you look back in 2008, we never retook that after the break down early that year. We got back up into it about April/May, tested it, and then failed there. This year, we’ve actually retaken it on the major averages, at least on the SNP, the Dow, the NASDAQ 100, the rest of 2000 has not retaken it, so the small caps are lagging here. We said stay away from those. Some other areas like Biotech and Healthcare have been lagging, you know, so if you watch just that simple trend line, that will tell you, in the longer term sense, kind of who’s winning the war between the bulls and the bears in that bigger picture battle. So for now, we’re back above it. We’ll see if we can hold it here, which will be a good sign if we can, and if we can’t, that’s probably where you’ll see a lot more caution starting to develop if things start to unravel below that support line, which is maybe a couple percent below current levels right now. Michael: Price, do you have any gut feel for the year 2016 and the big election coming up? Do you see stocks continuing higher or do you feel like there may be another correction? Price: I’m kind of at two camps there. I kind of gave you that little overview that we’re expecting more volatility in the second half. I think certainly in the short term, we’ve been rioting the up-trend signal that we got on %R and from the other tools back in late February, and basically have been benefitting from that kind of steady adjustment back up. I am expecting, based on history, the uncertainty, the fear factor, of who the president’s going to be. You know, we know we’re going to get a new one, one way or the other, but we don’t know which one, per say. A lot of potential of adjustments that can happen there, so basically I’m expecting that we’ll probably see some selling pressure in the second half. So, with that in mind, it wouldn’t surprise me to come back and eventually retest the lows some 10% lower than current levels right here in mid-April. My view would be that, short-term, we think we can get a little bit more out of the market on the upside, but, longer term, we’re expecting that the markets will probably have some adjustment down in the late summer through the fall, and then we’ll see what happens, how the markets behave after the election. The big thing, regardless of what you kind of lean towards on some of those longer term expectations, is you still have to trade what you see not what you believe, right? So, you can’t start to buy a bunch of put options here betting on it, and then, meanwhile, watch those get eroded further because we’re in a short-term up-trend, and then basically blow them out because you just couldn’t take the pain, kind of a thing. Of course, like in life, timing in trading is everything. Our view is pretty much short-term. We’re riding the up-trend while we can, but kind of keeping maybe a little smaller allocation, maybe a little less exposure than we might otherwise have with those longer-term concerns. Again, like we said before, you don’t have to try to hit a home run on every trade, you don’t have to be allocated heavily on every trade. You can, certainly, if you have those lingering concerns in your mind, you can always take smaller positions. You can always sit on the sidelines if you’re really not sure, but if you’ve got some opportunities happening in the short-term, you can still trade them, you might just trade them a little smaller. So, that’s part of trading too, is knowing when to pressure bets, when things will wind up short-term and longer-term, versus if you have some of those crosscurrents, when to maybe trade smaller and be a little quicker to tighten your stop or pull the trigger on a trade at a smaller profit target if you’re just feeling like, “Well, we’ll take it and be happy with it and move back to cash, and wait for the next low risk entry point”. That’s the big part of it, right now, expecting some of those crosscurrents we’re going to trade a little smaller and try to wait until we really see things line up, if we move into the second half in front of and after the election. Michael: Okay. Price, I know you’re not a commodities guy, per say, but a lot of stock guys follow some commodities like gold and oil because it can have an impact on overall global economy. Do you follow any commodities prices like that? Price: Certainly oil and gold have been ones that have been on our radar for a long time. Oil is one that we were real bearish on in the middle of ’14 and as we got some of our really major breakdown signals. Those downtrends, in the longer-term, still remain in place. We’re getting some stabilization in oil here, but certainly nothing that I would view as any kind of a longer term buy signal yet. So, we continue to side with being cautious on oil and meanwhile, gold though, the other big one that would fall into the commodities space, you know, that saying that started this year, we had some wonderful breakouts. So, my view would be that, yeah, that looks like it’s an improving trend that might create some real nice opportunities perhaps in the near term as we stay in this very accommodative monetary policy, not just in the U.S., but around the world. So, paying very close attention to gold here as we go through the rest of the year and into next year. Michael: Okay. Alright, Price, it’s just kind of a personal interest question, but do you have a personal favorite investment book? Not counting yours or mine. Price: Yeah, what I always tell people, I mean, there’s so many great ones, but Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Lefevre. It’s based on the life of Jesse Livermore, the famed trader who lived some hundred years ago. Those principals still apply. I always have myself and my staff read that book at least once a year, because it’s just, more than anything, about the psychology of trading, how the crowd kind of reacts during different stages of a move, how Livermore essentially was trading it in the day and it’s a fascinating read and it’s one that those timeless psychological principles still apply, not just for stocks, but for any type of trading. I just think there’s something great about reading about what was going on a hundred years ago and seeing this stuff even with all the changes in technology, even with all the changes in computers, and what not, and hey, we can have a systematic approach, and guess what? Somebody’s still programming the computers, and that’s humans. There’s still a human element and you can’t eliminate emotions, but it’s like learning how to manage those emotions in your trading will, I think, give you a big leg up on the rest of the crowd. Michael: It’s a great book and it’s still in print and they still reprint it today. It’s certainly a classic and any investor should read if you’re really considering being a trader. Price, as far as your website goes as somebody just coming there, just looking at BigTrends, where would you recommend they start? What resources would you recommend first? Price: I mean, obviously, on the BigTrends.com site there’s so much free content there. That’s a great way to just kind of dive into the educational link on the top. I’ll walk you through a lot of free educational articles and content. Then there’s a way that people can, with my compliments, become a BigTrends insider. There’s a sign-up box you can just put in your name and e-mail, and basically you can get on our list for, not just the newest articles, but also other special education events. We do a lot of complimentary webinars, depending on the time of year and where we see things we want to point out to people that might be opportunities to consider. So, getting into becoming a BigTrends insider on that little sign-up box there, on the top right of the site there on BigTrends.com, gives people the ability to get invitations to those complimentary events from time to time. So, that’s become a real popular starting place and we realize that everybody’s educational journey is different. Some people can absorb a lot real fast, other people want to take it a little slower, and we tend to encourage people to make sure that you get educated first before you try to rush into trading, because, of course, you rush into trading without the proper education, the markets will give you an education of it’s own that probably won’t be as favorable to your portfolio as if you actually get properly educated first and really make sure you understand risk as well as the right way to trade going forward. We’re big believers that education is critical. A lot of people think they get out of school, when they’re done with school, for their life. I think that’s the exact wrong approach. I always say it’s better to be grieving growing than ripe and rotting. So, you want to make sure that you always feel like you’re looking to add that next edge into your portfolio, that next opportunity. I’ve been trading for more than 25 years and still always looking and testing for additional edges, additional things to add, because that just keeps you sharp. That way, you don’t get complacent, and the markets have a way of humbling those that get a little bit too overconfident in their ability. So, we always want to stay humble and stay in that constant learning mode. I think it’s a really powerful value that can serve you for the rest of your life, in trading and in life in general. Michael: Great points, Price. One thing I want to mention to our readers and listeners is one of the things we talk a lot about is, not only diversification of strategy, but diversification of asset class. Both of those things are important. If you’re listening to our radio show here or reading our newsletter and you probably have an interest in either commodities or selling commodities options, a lot of people want to diversify into stock or stock options, or vice versa. That’s what Price does. That’s what BigTrends does. If you want to learn more about it, it’s a great website to learn more about stock options, stock option trading, and I looked at it and I certainly recommend it to anyone interested in that aspect of that asset class of stock and stock options. Price, I want to thank you. This has been a great interview. You got some good information to share with our listeners here, and we hope to have you back again at some time in the future, if you’re willing. Price: Oh, anytime Michael. I really look forward to it. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it as well. Look forward to staying in touch and wish everybody great trading in the rest of 2016 and beyond. Michael: Perfect. Thank you, Price, for everything.

Trading Story: Trading Interviews, Tips & Inspiration For Newer Traders

Who among us hasn’t had that well-meaning soul try to steer us clear from day trading? I remember working at Dell in the early 2000’s. I had a fairly easy job at the time. It was an internal support job where we took calls from sales people and tried to answer questions that they didn’t know. At times it was the easiest job I ever had. These were the early days of the internet. And sometimes, for hours on end, I would have 1, maybe 2, three-minute calls per hour answering simple questions about some internal policy. Easy stuff. The rest of the time I was ‘surfing the net’ with my colleagues. One guy got so comfortable he got fired for bringing his video game to work a couple times. The fact is, he could do that and still answer his calls because the queue was so dead most of the time. At least I thought so. Unfortunately for him, our manager didn’t agree. So he was canned and none of us brought video games up to work again. Such was my life at Dell in the early 2000s. Day Trading is for Fools? Anyway, I remember chatting with one of the team leads about my desire to get into trading. I had just met a couple traders at church and was interested to get started in their program. Being a more cautious person than yours truly, he recounted his ‘friend’ who tried day trading and failed miserably. He didn’t know how anyone could make it as a day trader. Nevermind how bank traders make a living day trading. Forget also how a host of other day trading jobs pepper the financial services industry. But he was in tech and they were in finance and never the twain shall meet. At least until the tech guys need money. Then they know who to call. Of course, that wasn’t the only person tried to steer me clear of day trading. There was my dad, then a client with his tale of a guy who killed himself after losing big in the market. Then there was a former boss who told tales of a former college athlete at our alma mater who swindled donors out of millions in a Ponzi scheme. Aside from my dad, none of these guys were that interested in trading. But they distrusted ‘day trading’ vehemently. It’s got a bad rap. Don’t get me wrong. Day trading can end pretty badly for some people. The most famous of those bad endings came in the postscript to Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, probably the most well-known trading tale in the industry. In the end, the protagonist, killed himself. That man was a day trader. True story. Yes, some day traders meet a horrible end. But does that mean, dear logic students, that ALL traders blow their brains out? I don’t think so. So despite your friends’ well-meaning advice, chart your own course in life. The road to day trading doesn’t always end at the mortuary…sometimes…but not usually. That was easily the longest introduction to a Trading Story podcast episode to date. But you guys didn’t download this episode to hear about day trading naysayers in my past. No, you want know something about day trading. So here goes… Definition: Day Trading
