Arthur Buchner is the founder of Courtney Capital and former head of derivatives at Nedbank Capital. We go back many years... He was one of my High School teachers, where he also ran the JSE Challenge at the school. He left teaching and took a pay cut to get his foot in the door with a stock broking firm. We met again years later. Arthur is a key figure in my career. He was one of my early mentors and taught me a lot. He also opened a door for me to join BoE Stockbrokers – a major step up in my career. He has come onto this podcast to share his knowledge about trading stocks and futures and also shares a couple of tips for new traders. #Trading #Futures #TradingTips Facebook · IG

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. #Trading #DayTrading #ALSI40 The Real Chartist Webpage · Facebook · IG

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. #Trading #TradingStrategy #TradingShorts Facebook · IG

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. #Trading #AlternativeIncome #TradingForBeginners #TradingTips Facebook · IG

In this episode, Garth shares his story with us... from falling in love with paper-trading at 14 and how he struggled to find his feet in the markets when he started dealing with real money until one day someone sat him down and explained Futures to him by comparing it to his other love... cars. He also walks us through the carnage of the 2008 global market crisis and how he turned that into an opportunity to go out on his own and start his own trading business, Traders Corner, and all the subsequent market crashes he has traded through and survived, including the latest one around Covid-19, which Garth shares his thoughts and plans around. It's an industry that needs a lot of help and guidance... That's what this podcast is all about and after listening to this first episode, you'll know why there's no one better than Garth to provide that. #Trading #MarketCrash #Covid19 #BearMarket Facebook · IG
