How can I describe it? Well I drove to the health food store today streaming the wonderful KXLU - so I'm driving and listening and its the French Caribbean vibe and the radio station is broadcasting from close to LAX airport and its playing Engelbert Humperdinc's Lesbian Seagull
This week's show is a bit like that...I mean who writes that? "Fly with me, lesbian seagull To my little nest by the sea I know I can be strong when you're with me" And YouTube is so prudish, so I elected instead to call the pod, Is it Possible to Tokenise Knowledge?
How to become a trader? Don't believe there are legit training courses - they're all looking to skin you for a bit of money - fiat or otherwise. There as useful as diets.
Be passionate. Read. Read a lot. Do it at night under the covers with a torch. Read about Jesse Livermore - dabble a little - get your hands dirty. But start really small cause you're gonna get it wrong. Don't believe the contrary. You gotta get it wrong to get it right
Keep trading notes. I'm doing this for X/Y/Z. Examine your ex post babbilings with your ex ante rational self... Read interviews about traders - jack schwager started it off. Read how to use Japanese candlestick charts -RV is cheap and excellent - pros and the rest use it
Here's why you should watch this week's instalment...
