Dear Traders,
Today I spoke to a man who believe it or not started analyzing fantasy baseball at a young age. Discovering his analytical skills, he realized he could do the same thing with companies and investments. He started as a hedge fund analyst and learned about global markets. He is now the founder and CIO of an investment market research firm called Avory & Company. His name is Sean Emory.

Today Sean and I discussed how he used his analytical skills to research fundamentals on the market. And as Sean says, he likes to know what he owns and why he owns it. We discussed what Technical indicators Sean uses in his strategy. We chatted about the importance of psychology in investing, and he tells us how he implements psychological concepts into his trading and investing business. I asked Sean what he thinks of the latest SnapChat IPO and if futures and index traders should be watching earnings on individual stocks.
Sean is a young guy, but way ahead of his years in understanding markets. He is a great example to not only young traders and investors, but all traders and investors that want to be successful. Sean is a really good guy and it was a pleasure speaking with him today. As always…Thank you all for listening, please enjoy this episode.
