i have been meaning to let you guys know how much i have enjoyed listening to the traders podcast for some time now; i have been exploring the idea of trading since june ’12 and the traders podcast was one of the first sources i found on my search; appreciative of of all the great information as well as the humor! particular fond of the episode in which the mortgage broker decided to learn to trade and live his life on his own terms. i am also in the mortgage business. while a very sad ending to the story, at the same time it was a very encouraging episode. there is so much information out there to try and digest/formulate a plan/strategy which is very difficult while working a full time job; the both of you and the traders podcast has been both an educational and enjoyable listen. i look forward to each and every new episode. while they are all great, i have especially enjoyed the last 10-15 podcasts. thanks for all you do!
Steve,
Thank you for listening! I’m happy that you sent a comment. There is no better story than Mickey’s – he passed away but at least he lived a full life. I still think about him often when I am having a rough day. I only knew him for what seems like a short time.
