For almost as long as Brian can remember, he has been interested in stocks and the market. When he was a preteen, he would watch his father pour over the stock listings in the newspaper and occasionally hear him on the phone with his broker, placing orders to buy and sell shares. One day, Brian asked his father if he could buy some stock and his father said, “Sure.” Brian opened an account and bought 1 (one), yes, 1 share of “The Bell Telephone Company of Canada”. He still has that 1 share today and it has multiplied into a couple of dozen shares through splits and a dividend reinvestment program. That was the starting point for his stock ownership/trading career. Ever since, Brian has been interested in stocks and the stock market and has traded throughout most of his adult life, managing his own investment portfolio. Brian has 2 degrees, including an MBA, and he also took the Canadian Securities Course.

The advent of the Internet and online trading changed the financial industry dramatically. While holding down a regular 9-to-5 corporate job, Brian tried his hand at day trading during the dotcom era. He made a lot of money and then lost a lot of money. It was a humbling lesson but he learned much and thankfully did not suffer the fate of many who lost more than they started with.

Brian retired from the corporate world in 2014 after over 30 years of service. Andrew and he had met and worked together for a number of years in another field. Today, they continue to work together doing what they both enjoy: trading and helping others achieve their goals.

Carlos is a full-time day trader and moderator with Bear Bull Traders. He joined Bear Bull Traders as a student in mid-2017, after coming across and reading Andrew’s book, How to Day Trade for a Living. Carlos completed the training courses and after 7 months in the simulator started trading live in January 2018.

Before day trading, Carlos spent 12 years in logistics and customer operations management for a home appliance company. After the company made the decision to relocate to another state, Carlos took this as an opportunity to embrace his passion and become involved in the world of day trading on a full-time basis.

Carlos enjoys outdoor activities like cycling and snowboarding, and he has recently begun to explore mountain hiking!
