Back in August, I was the featured guest on the OptionGenius podcast with Allen Sama. I didn’t really know what to expect from the experience, but it turned out to be a really cool conversation about the market, retail stock trading strategy and the financial media (that’s me). In my opinion, Allen did a great job with the podcast, and I think interviewing is an underappreciated skill. 

In general, I think podcasts are a great medium for nuanced, thoughtful conversations, as opposed to the type of frantic, sound bite-centric four-minute interviews you tend to get on TV these days.

Anyway, if you would like to hear more about my crazy journey to becoming a financial market journalist, my investing philosophy, my take on the media and even my top stock pick, and if you would like to hear it all in my charming Alabama accent, check out the OptionGenious podcast by clicking here.

Also, check out Allen’s twitter and OptionGenius.com, which is currently offering a free nine-course lesson in conservative option trading strategies.

Want to learn more about how to profit off the stock market? Or maybe you just want to be able to look sophisticated in front of your coworkers when they ask you what you are reading on your Kindle, and you’d prefer to tell them “Oh, I’m just reading a book about stock market analysis,” rather than the usual “Oh, I’m just looking at pics of my ex-girlfriend on Facebook.” For these reasons and more, check out my book, Beating Wall Street with Common Sense. I don’t have a degree in finance; I have a degree in neuroscience. You don’t have to predict what stocks will do if you can predict what traders will do and be one step ahead of them. I made a 400% return in the stock market over five years using only basic principles of psychology and common sense. Beating Wall Street with Common Sense is now available on Amazon, and tradingcommonsense.com is always available on your local internet!
