My guest today has seen grown, mature, successful individuals open their first brokerage account and turn into 16 year olds who just got their driver's licence, their parents got them a brand new Lamborghini, and there's a bottle of whiskey in the passenger seat. The Stock Market will do that to some people. Roger is the Founder and CEO of Market Forecasting Academy, a training and mentorship program for market participants looking for low risk, consistent, market-beating performance. Throughout the years, he's noticed that traders/investors often place too much emphasis on the technology aspect when, in fact, all it does is facilitate the gathering and calculating of necessary data which saves a person time.

What happens when a mathematician shares a room with an economist at college? The mathematician doesn't come from an investment background but he'd like to make some money and the economist has a dream to launch a hedge fund. It may not have been quite as simple as that, but I enjoyed hearing the story of Michael Mills and his co-founder Nicholas B. Spoors building the Infinitary Fund from humble beginnings at college.

Successful financial management is not only about picking the right investments, it can also be about overcoming poor role models in your life. Phil Weiss and I sat down to discuss how he took action to avoid following in his father's financial footsteps. He shared great tips on getting rid of credit card debt, how his accounting training helps to identify the numbers that matter in company financials, the stocks that he's held onto for over 25 years, how value investing has changed, and his client who bought $300 worth of Apple stock soon after listing which has now grown to 2,100 shares. Not a bad return for doing nothing for 40 years. Phil also spoke about the Triple-Tax-Free Retirement Benefits of a Health Savings Account. Here's a link to the blog post to find out more: https://apprisewealth.com/news/health-savings-accounts-a-triple-tax-free-retirement-benefit/

Jaden Sterling started his finance career on Wall Street but became disillusioned with the money-making machine that didn't look after investors. He noticed that most of the wealthy people that came to him had something in common. They owned a handful of stocks, no more than four to six, but on average about four different holdings. It was contrary to his Wall Street training that emphasised the importance of diversification.
