My name is Julian and I am currently a finance student in Montreal, Canada. I’ve been reading some of the free material you’ve posted and I think you are dead on with your analysis. It’s really good stuff. I’ve been trading for 4 years and turned $3000 into $17000. It’s paying my way through college. [...]

Farewell to the Wealth Insider Alliance
All good things must come to an end, and it is time for me to bid adieu to the Wealth Insider Alliance. There is no doubt that this innovative and aggressive online marketing firm played a major role in placing the Mad Hedge Fund Trader on the map in the virtual world. They acted as [...]
Time to Short Natural Gas Again
Long term readers are well aware of my antipathy towards natural gas, which has been in your worst nightmare of a bear market for the past three years.

Will Facebook Mark the Market Top?
The street is chattering today over the prospect of an enormous payday with the imminent IPO for the social media company, Facebook.

Is This the Chink in Japan’s Armor?
“Oh, how I despise the yen, let me count the ways.” I’m sure Shakespeare would have come up with a line of iambic pentameter similar to this if he were a foreign exchange trader. I firmly believe that a short position in the yen should be at the core of any hedged portfolio for the [...]

Hanging Out With Woz
I first spoke to Steve Wozniak via HAM radio when I was 12 and he was the 14 year old president of the Homestead High School Radio Club in Cupertino, California.

Fed Says Market Rally is BS
Well, they didn’t really say that, but they could have, and perhaps should have, and the bond market wholeheartedly agrees with them.
