In this episode of Talking Trading Gary Stone from Share Wealth Systems discusses why ETFs are GAME CHANGERS on the world markets. With lower volatility than individual stocks ETFs are like Goldilocks and Baby Bear – they are JUST RIGHT for every type of investor and in Gary’s view should become the backbone of investors’ portfolios.  Plus also hear the beginnings of the bears’ stampede around the world in our market wrap. Market Wrap – Chris Weston Chief Market Strategist IG MarketsThere is a market sell off around the world.The bears started growling in the USA as the S&P 500 finally broke through convincing support levels. Meantime in Australia there is a bloodbath - influenced by both the heavy Asian downturn and market action in the USA that has sent the bears stampeding Down Under. Gary Stone – ETFsWhat do ETFs and Goldilocks have in common?They are just right.Just like baby bear’s porridge, chair and bed were just right for Goldilocks - ETFs are JUST RIGHT for every type of investor and in Gary’s view should be the backbone of investor’s portfolios.With lower volatility than individual stocks ETFs are designed to track the index offering a long-term portfolio view for investors of all categories.Warren Buffet has famously said that when he dies he wants his wife to invest ALL her money into Vanguard’s ETF.So if ETF’s are so effective as a portfolio tool why has Australia been slow on their uptake of them? Only 1% of Australian investors use ETFs compared to 10% of investors in Canada and the USA.Find out in this interview with Gary and also hear which are the most popular ETF’s to use.Gary has also released an ETF strategy called SPA 3 ETF that brings longer-term timing to ETFs.

This week’s episode of Talking Trading looks at Catherine Robert’s foray into the trading world. Compelled by the pressure of a toxic work environment, Catherine pursued the Mentor Program to provide her with a second income and a new outlook on life. Hear about her growth in personal development, her wins in the market and her amazing meeting of another Trading Game mentoree. Also find out what Louise Bedford has to say about getting out of your comfort zone in Mindpower and where the big money really lies. Catherine Roberts - Trading Game 2014 MentoreeCatherine Roberts grew up thinking that an EDUCATION and A CAREER would make her FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT.When she found out that wasn’t the case she started looking for options…A toxic work environment was the final shove Catherine needed to enroll in the Trading Game Mentor Program and seek alternative means of income.Knowing she had the skills to become a trader, she has ploughed the markets for over a year winning handsomely in the energy sectors in 2014.The toxic work environment proved to be a blessing in disguise, not only did she meet a fellow Trading Game mentoree in a new job, she has grown in personal development to take control of her life and her financial future. In Catherine’s opinion if you are a successful trader then you are successful in life. She no longer wastes time wishing for things and achieving someone else’s goals, she consciously achieves her own. Mindpower with Louise BedfordDeclare you are ready.Once you declare you are ready options will open up in your life.High achievers are frustrated a lot of the time - being mellow and getting to the top just don’t go together.To get out of your current money zone you have to get out of your current comfort zone. Leaps are required and to leap you have to leave solid ground behind. But once you do, you get used to flying and that is where The Big Money lies.    Highlights of Talking Trading are also available on Louise Bedford’s Soundcloud.Additional Music by Kevin MacLeod http://www.incompetech.com

One minute of a good solid belly laugh is equivalent to 10 minutes on an exercise bike for aerobic conditioning and that every time you laugh you release:A hormone which boosts your immune systemDopamine or the reward chemicalOxytocin which makes you feel closer to other peopleEndorphins which make you feel more motivated and inspiredSerotonin which makes you feel more peacefulAnd if that is not enough, the Japanese believe that laughter is spending time with the Gods.Anthony’s favourite motto is love conquers all, but laughter makes it possible and he delivers three tools for creating happiness and laughter:Intention to find more humourAttention – what we focus on growsInterpretation – we learn to see the humour in all situationsAnthony is passionate about people adopting the laughter lifestyle and finding the joy that is actually there in life.

Allan Sparkes is a HERO. He is one of 5 recipients of the Cross of Valour, Australia’s highest bravery decoration and the civilian equivalent to The Victorian Cross. It is awarded to people who have risked their own lives to save others. But being a hero came at a cost and Allan suffered severe post-traumatic stress disorder. This is his journey and the power of pursuing a dream to create an extraordinary life. You'll find lots of life lessons and trading lessons in this very special Talking Trading episode. Allan SparkesAllan Sparkes was a policeman in the NSW force for over 20 years. His rescue of a young boy swept 600 metres down a storm water drain turned him into a National Hero.But his bravery came at cost. Years of police work took their toll and after rescuing Jai Gallaway from drowning and seeing two of his police comrades shot down on a night raid he spiralled into post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and the depths of suicide.The strength of his wife and family and the faint dream of sailing the world carried him to London where he boarded a yacht with his family.In the middle of the Pacific Ocean he threw his demons overboard and looked toward the future where he began rebuilding his sense of self worth and creating a new life.This is a journey of one man who went to hell and back and rebuilt himself an extraordinary life. His message to traders: go and do the things the things you want to do because those experiences will live with you every single day of your life.You can read more about Allan's experiences in his book - The Cost of Bravery. A Quick Word from Louise bedfordThis episode may confront you because it deals with topics such as post traumatic stress disorder, death and suicide. If you or someone you know has ever dealt with these issues, I urge you to seek help.Most suicides seem like a shock, but then as time ticks by, friends and relatives of the deceased have their memories triggered. They realise that there were some warning signs. It seems that around 80% of suicide victims mentioned they were considering it. Even if they're not specifically talking about it, there are some behavioural triggers that you need to be on the lookout for. For example, some suicide victims systematically prepare for their own death by putting their affairs in order and making visits to their friends to say their version of 'good-bye'.Statistically, there is quite a high probability you’ll eventually know someone who will commit suicide. It might be someone from your family, or perhaps one of your friends.I urge you to stay vigilant. Be non-judgemental when you confront, but

This week’s episode of Talking Trading features a panel of experts on the panic in the Chinese market and the repercussions for Australian traders. China expert Daryl Guppy takes us through the mechanical problems of the Chinese market and how this resulted in the large sell off. He further discusses Australia’s future in the Asia Pacific Region. We also hear Jonathan Barratt’s thoughts on China and the price of iron ore. And finally Chris Tate in his usual style tells us we are one short of the three stooges running amok in the world financial markets. Daryl Guppy – CEO of Guppy TradersChina Expert Daryl Guppy lays out 4 mechanical causes of China’s panic:1)Stocks can only move 10% per day then they get locked limit up or limit down2) You cannot go short on the Chinese stock exchange3) Suspension of stocks from trading which means if you have an open position you cannot get out of it4) Trading is only for 4 hours per day.What is happening in the Shanghai Stock market in not related to the underlying economy. Although we are seeing a slow down in China the economy is still strong and we will be seeing an aggressive roll out of large-scale infrastructure projects within South Sea Asia and possibly the top end of Australia.Daryl tells us what he is doing with his positions at the moment and where to seek the opportunities. Jonathan BarrattJono’s thoughts on China’s market are they are less of a panic when you are a socialist market economy.We also hear about the margin call on iron ore and its drop in price.  Chris TateWhat we are seeing in China is a conflict between an immature market and runaway leverage.Their market lost 3.9 trillion last week in wealth, which is larger than the GDP of every country on earth bar the USA, Germany and Japan.Between China and Greece the two crises in the market at the same time is unusual and is not something Chris would expect to see again in his lifetime. He says we are one short of the trifecta of the three stooges running amok in the world of financial markets.Chris also shares his perspective on the Aussie market at the moment – moribund and stuffed. He tells traders to go and diversify.  Highlights of Talking Trading are also available on Louise Bedford’s Soundcloud.Additional Music by Kevin MacLeod http://www.incompetech.com

Resilience coach and martial arts expert Michael Licenblat joins Talking Trading to discuss how traders can tap into their innate resilience to conquer the markets. Michael discusses how to develop and ritualise habits and patterns of thinking which enable you to conquer self-doubt and bounce back fast. Michael LicenblatRESILIENCE is an INNATE STRENTH within everybody but sometimes we need help to draw it out and build it up to make it strong and unshakeable in the face of circumstances and when the markets aren’t performing.Resilience coach Michael Licenblat believes there are 6 fundamental qualities which help a person stay resilient.1. DO NOT PERSONALISE FAILURESeparate your worthiness from your trading outcomes and what you learnt along the way. Mistakes are simply the journey to getting things right.2. KEEP AN OPEN MINDAs in martial arts strive to for a black belt but have a white belt mentality. When you remove the ego of I know it all or the fear of I have to know it all then you can progress. 3. OPTIMISMOptimism is a tool to stay level headed and centred. It is having positive expectation and is a discipline of thinking of what can be done. 4. IDENTIFY PROBLEMSJust like working a muscle you don’t toughen up by ignoring a problem you toughen up by identifying a problem. 5. IGNORE SELF DOUBTSelf-doubt is a POISON. It is a habit of making a negative assessment of your ability and is simply fear. Self-doubt is an old habit that keeps holding you back and bringing you down. DON’T counsel DON'T indulge it.The key to RESILIENCE is developing habits you don’t have to think about consciously. Ritualise your habits so they become unconscious and you will bounce back fast.To download Michael’s eBook - The Seven Ways To Prevent Getting Overworked Rundown and Stressed Out go to www.bouncebackfast.com.    Highlights of Talking Trading are also available on Louise Bedford’s Soundcloud.Additional Music by Kevin MacLeod http://www.incompetech.com
