Do you live on the East coast and ever wonder what it would be like to be a trader on the West coast? Could you handle working on a much different schedule? In today’s video, we chat with my pal Mehmet Gunay who I met during his time at SMB Capital when I lived in New York City. Today, he lives in San Francisco and seems to have adjusted pretty well to the time change and lifestyle. I would have to agree with him. I enjoy the west coast hours much better than when I lived in New York. The ability to do things after work with plenty of sun light left is very appealing. [Read more…]
I Am Very Bullish On Technical Analysis
We might be in a rangebound market for stocks, but one thing is for sure: the trend for Technical Analysis is up.
I’ve had a front row seat to the growth of this discipline and its practitioners for the past 15 years, since first starting my journey. I was half way through John Murphy’s Technical Analysis of Financial Markets when I knew this was for me. Things only became more clear after that. As I read through Edwards & Magee and many other books, the way markets behaved just started making more and more sense. [Read more…]
India’s Bank Stocks Are The World Leaders
When most of us think of bank stocks, we’re generally not saying positive things. We have a bad taste in our mouth, particularly since early last year. But that’s not the case in India.
Look at this chart. Which one is different? [Read more…]
Video: Financing Options Trades vs Buying Them Naked
The cool thing about working with smart people is being able to learn from them. Having Sean McLaughlin on our team has made everyone better, not just our clients but us as well. In today’s video, we tackle the question of when it makes more sense to finance an options position by selling a different contract to collect the income vs simply just buying calls or puts. As usual, Sean does a nice job of explaining this in a way that anyone could understand. [Read more…]
My 2-Month Fling With “Old Media”
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
Today there is no shortage of information: Social Media, Blogs, Newspapers, Television, Water-Cooler Gossip, etc., but we still have the same amount of time in a day. We all have to make a decision what we’re going to pay attention to and what we’re not.
Money Game Podcast: No Such Thing As Work-Life Balance (EP.5)
In this episode of The Money Game, Phil answers my questions about the work/life balance with: “There is no such thing”. He says life is all about decisions. I tried to push back a bit and point out the extremes, both in my life and in those around me, but he says I’m overthinking things. I thought this was a really helpful conversation, selfishly, so I hope it adds value to your process as well.

Video: Getting Some Love From My Friends In India!
Here’s the video from a live interview I did on ET NOW, India’s leading business news channel. It’s amazing that I could not live further away than I currently do, yet we can still do this sort of thing. Their morning TV is my evening, but it works.
In this interview we discuss the ongoing rangebound market in US Stocks and then we shift gears to India’s stock market. We talk about the rotation into small & mid-caps, key levels for both the NIFTY50 and Bank NIFTY as well as the relative strength we’re seeing in the bank stocks, particularly ICICI and AXIS Bank.
Here is the video in full: [Read more…]
The Role of Collaboration In My Process
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
The Research and/or Trading business can be a very lonely endeavor for many, so I wanted to use this post to outline the role that collaboration plays in my process and why I feel it’s so important.
