Talking with Traders

36ONE Asset Management is the “Real Deal” in the hedge fund and unit trust fund space. Everything the firm does screams professionalism and the firm’s consistent outperformance in its funds speaks volumes. 36ONE – going the extra degree. That shines through in this interview with the firm’s joint founder Cy Jacobs.

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.

Fraser Perring and Viceroy Research weren’t well known in South Africa until they gained credit for identifying the accounting scandal at Steinhoff in 2017. The firm are short sellers, meaning that they seek to take advantage of falling share prices. They made big money short selling Steinhoff and a little while later published a scathing report on the way Capitec accounts for bad debts, sending that company’s shares lower by 35% in early 2018. Most recently, Viceroy has been short in the shares of Wirecard, the German payment processing business that recently filed for bankruptcy and saw it’s CEO arrested on fraud charges. Fraser Perring’s approach to the market is vastly different from others interviewed in this series. In his own words, he says that what he does is “insane”. Indeed, but also very profitable.

Mark vd Bijl, the “Real Chartist”, scaled into trading from being a part-time to full-time trader. He recommends scaling in as a way for all newcomers to get into trading. We chatted about what it takes to trade full-time as your sole source of income, like he does, and the risk of trading with "scared money". Mark is a Day Trader who focuses only on the ALSI 40 futures and he shares some wisdom around that and his 3 tips for new traders.

The trading bug bit Brian Gibbs at varsity. He spent time on the floor at the JSE, traded institutional money and eventually he got to where here he is today... trading his own capital for a living. What he learnt along the way is something I have always said myself - street smarts are way more helpful than academic training when it comes to trading. We chat about his trading strategy, what works for him and what hasn't.

Is this a good time to start trading if you have lost your job or on less pay due to Covid-19 Lockdowns or if you have a lot of spare time at the moment? The bottom line is that trading is not as easy as some companies and individuals make it sound and there are more disaster stories than overnight success stories. Your chances of success are quite low. But... if you’re interested in starting to trade, this is a good episode to listen to if you want to give yourself the best chance of success.
