From my presentation to the investment club at Temple University Japan Campus on March 28, 2024.
- Contingency Planning: my “religion” for markets, trading, & careers (risk management)
- My Background: Bottom academics, no institutional experience, no markets knowledge, move to Tokyo with nothing → Goldman futures trading desk → Jefferies equity sales
- Trading Markets: Learn about YOURSELF WITHIN MARKETS (& not markets themselves). Pay market tuition & never take a market loss. BIG WINS are produced by: Luck + Prioritize focus, effort & intended mindset upon mitigating BIG LOSSES + Luck
- Career Commentary: Preparing for the Coming Crisis of Major Widespread & Permanent Job Destruction from Disruption - the risk of specialization, expertise & experience. Contingency Planning.
- Q&A: Advantage of NOT being Ivy League.
A big thank you to the investment club at Temple University Japan!
