I was privileged to speak alongside Siam Kidd on stage at a trading symposium in Johannesburg in 2017. We’ve since kept in touch. Siam qualifies as a millennial, but he shows a mature approach to trading that’s lacking in many of his millennial peer group. I enjoyed catching up with him and listening to his story of his years in the market, and his thoughts on the future.

JP Verster is the most eloquent market commentator I’ve ever encountered in the South African market space. A huge consumer of books and financial market information – he is a wealth of knowledge on more than just markets. He gained much airtime for being short in African Bank and riding the stock all the way to zero whilst at 36ONE Asset Management. JP now heads up Protea Capital management. He talks to me about his years in the market and his thoughts for the future.
