His strategy slightly differs from mine, but we have so many similar points, that it's really wondering me.

At about 20 minutes into this episode you mention that the ZeroHedge author has some insights into SRS, the ProShares double inverse. But I didn't hear any mention of that in episode 106 (the ZeroHedge interview). Can you point us to that discussion on ZeroHedge? I didn't find it in the ZeroHedge link above.

A – Thanks for having Jack on, good stuff.
Thanks also for your determination to dig into the last hour of trading volatility. The article on the zerohedge link is intense but very clear and substantiates what you have suspected. iI's very true what they wrote about leveraged ETFs being widely misunderstood by retail investors and pros alike. They are short-term trading vehicles only.

I've owned Jack Schwager's first two books since they were first published. They are two of my most important books in my library; highlighted, dog-eared and referred to frequently. His comments at the beginning of the interview are absolutely true. Whenever I get in trouble investing, it's when I've been impulsive and not following a strategy. He also stressed that it's OK to lose (i.e. it's OK to be wrong) meaning it's more important to minimize your losses than to be proven right.

I thought this guest was great. It was really good to hear his advice for beginning traders at the end. It was one question I wanted to ask, and I'm glad you asked it!

I noticed that your guest (and yourself) discouraged the use of the blackbox analysis methods for stocks. As somebody who uses and studies these blackbox methods, I'd give the same advice. If you don't understand how the machine works then you shouldn't use it. As a beginning investor I've had some experimental success with some blackbox methods, and there are times when they don't work. If you don't understand why it doesn't work, then you'll keep misplacing your trust in a system that doesn't work.

If you want to apply some blackbox techniques to technical data, then you can also get free and very good tools for this — for example, Rapidminer, or the Rattle GUI for the open source language R — but time is required to understand these tools and how to get them working. It also takes some additional time to get the technical data (using TTR and/or quantmod for R, but I'm sure there are others).

Andrew, thanks for your podcast, I find it very educational and entertaining. I have noticed your are puzzled by the almost daily last hour rally in the stock market. You speculate that leveraged ETFs are the culprit. This makes sense to me( but I am not a professional trader) and in one of your recent podcasts an expert on ETF did not agree with this theory- did you change your mind? also in your podcasts you and your guests recommend frequently to close all deals by the end of the day, ie. to be a true day trader. Is possibe that the end of the day rally is because trader just follow your advice?

Andrew, you should put links to articles that you mention "you'll put up on the blog." By the time I get to a computer after listening to your podcasts, I forget which articles I'm supposed to be looking for!
