Listen Later

In this episode, we are delighted to have on the show the very knowledgeable Jeff Hirsch. Jeff is one of the masterminds behind the Stock Traders Almanac, and will soon become a Research Consultant with Probabilities Fund Management. Probability—that’s the key for Jeff and his team. How can we begin to predict when to buy, sell, trade, and watch the market trends? The Stock Market ebbs and flows throughout the seasons (and throughout the day!) Using decades of data to back them up, the Stock Traders Almanac takes probabilities and turns them into strategies for your investments.
