A TRADER'S LIFE

Jimmy Mengel is Managing Editor for the Crow's Nest financial advisory, The Adventure Capitalist financial advisory, and Editor for the Outsider Club.

Jimmy turned a natural born talent for buying, selling and collecting baseball cards into buying and selling stocks. He tends to go long. Very long. Like a few months or years at a time. He barely thinks of himself as a 'trader', more like an investor. His big interest right now is cannabis. The stocks, that is. With legalisation in the USA on the cards in 2021, he's got to be someone worth listening to if you're looking for some big, exciting trades in the near future.

For Episode 17 I got together with Sylvia Marshall, author of Zero to A Million and founder of the trading mentorship club of the same name. 

Sylvia started out as an international training and consultancy manager in the financial sector, later turned her hand to property development, and when that wasn’t enough to keep her busy she took a crack at trading, loved it and became very good at it. 

My key take-out from our conversation was just how committed Sylvia to helping people – especially women over 40 – turn their lives around through trading the markets. Besides her smart proprietary software she manages to do this through dedicated one to ones with her students and a disciplined approach trading trends. Enjoy the conversation.

This is the trailer to Episode 16 with trader Farzana Zaman.

Farzana has been trading since she was a teenager and she’s still pretty young – in fact she’s in her final year at university. Besides studying and trading – and working at a pharmacy a few nights a week – she also runs HerTrade, an education and support group for women traders. How refreshing, I thought, to run into a female trader with such an entrepreneurial outlook.

For one of my last episodes in 2020.I got together with trader Farzana Zaman.

BEFORE YOU HEAD OFF… as we all know, a lot can go wrong in trading. Some days you can find yourself gasping for breath and telling yourself you need a complete break from it.

Well, take a look at this. It’s a way of making passive income by taking a stake in the crypto space but doesn’t require you to trade crypto. The company in question is called Yieldnodes. And essentially, what these guys do is provide cutting edge services to the blockchain network, such as maintaining e-wallets and the like.

It’s very easy to get set up on the platform, and the returns are truly exceptional, averaging around 10% per month. Once you factor in compounding you could be looking at just north of 200% per annum. Here’s another thing I think is really important: Yieldnodes have allowed members to audit their incomings and outgoings and found them to be entirely transparent. 

I personally think this is an exciting proposition and, if you sign up through my link, instead of the usual minimum deposit of 500 Euros, you can make a start with just 50 Euros. Heck, some people put that on the lottery every weekend! So why not plant a seed today with Yieldnodes and see what grows from there?

By pass the 500 Euro minimum requirment and start participating in the Yieldnodes project with as little as 50 Euros via this link while helping to keep this podcast going.

Kevin started out life as an apprentice at Jaguar, took a break to go travelling then came home to set up a property development business with his dad. While waiting for his first sale, he took a crack at trading. 

What follows might described as his thoughts on that journey so far and where he hopes to get to.

A few days before Thanksgiving, I got together with Barry Burns, a trader based in LA. Barry started trading as a kid and for over 25 years he’s been teaching ordinary people how to trade in a wide variety of markets through his company, Top Dog Trading. 

He’s the first pro trader I’ve come across who prefers to trade really low timeframe charts, even ticker charts. 

Barry: "I teach people like you to become consistent traders in the shortest time possible."

In episode 13 I got together with Francis Hunt. Trader, technical analyst and teacher, Francis sees himself as a sniper, patiently waiting for the big trades. While he delights in causing controversy, he’s also passionate about helping new and up-and-coming traders improve their edge.  He’s built a community of like-minded traders who support each other with trade ideas, peer review of set-ups and positive reinforcement.

This was a high-energy, entertaining episode – valuable trading insights dotted with vivid analogies and Francis’s own strongly held personal views on what and how to trade during the covid-troubling months ahead. It may be a bit longer than most conversations I have here, but in my view, I think it earns its length.
