Chris Bertelsen

President & Chief Investment Officer at Aviance Capital Management

Record Date: 6/27/17

Today I spoke with a man that regularly gives his insight on CNBC about financial markets. He has been an analyst and a portfolio manager. He’s currently the president and Chief Investment Officer of Aviance Capital Management. His name is Chris Bertelsen.

Chris does not focus on Futures, but as a long time futures trader I love to hear what other market participants think about the current theme of the market. This provides a perspective of what large portfolio managers are thinking. Today I asked Chris where he thinks we are in this Equity bull market. You may be surprised where Chris thinks we are.

We then talked about growth in the US and how the Bond market is calling the Fed’s bluff. We spoke about the FANG Stocks and their impact on the S&P. He gives us a foolproof plan for the government to create stimulus.

Finally, we discussed the flows between sectors and he explains what to watch for. Chris is a really smart guy who I really enjoyed speaking with and I know you will enjoy hearing his insight on the markets…as usual thank you all for listening and please enjoy this episode.

Russ Rausch

Founder of VisionPursue

Record Date: 6/13/17

Hello Everyone, before we get started today I want to thank our sponsors CME Group and Trading Technologies.  Today I spoke with a man who was the 1st CFO for Trading Technologies, and then became the COO of a hedge fund. After many years of seeing success, he went on to start his own company that helps to improve the mindset for professionals in all industries.  His Name is Russ Rausch and he is the Founder of Vision Pursue.

[bctt tweet=”#FuturesRadio ‘Emotions are messages trying to keep you productive and safe. Let it pass, and get back into a mindful state, this is what we’re teaching elite athletes” username=”RussRausch1″]

Russ and I talked about the importance of the pursuit of your happiness and settling for a job that you are not happy doing.  We discussed how vision pursue measures a persons performance mindset and he breaks down the symptoms of having the average mindset. I have to say a lot of this hit home with me, because I’ve worked very hard to improve my personal mindset weaknesses over the years.  Russ talked about creating brain balance and finding the answers internally.

We then got into some practices you can do to work on your mindset.  Finally, since Russ works with professional Athletes in the NFL and MLB, we discussed the similarities & differences between a Traders mindset and a professional athletes’ mindset.  In all of my years as a trader the most important asset you have as a trader is your mindset.  There is no substitute to a good mindset.  I believe that the best traders can trade any type of strategy as long as they have the proper mindset.  I am taking a challenge by working with Vision Pursue for 60 days after this episode airs.

I am going to pay for the first 5 traders that email us at [email protected] after this episode to do it along with me and then come on futures radio show in 60 days to speak with Russ and I about how it has benefited us.  Russ is a an awesome guy who is doing something that I think the world needs.  I guarantee you will love this episode.  As always thank you all for listening and please enjoy this episode.
