I recently received an email from one of our members, it's not only inspiring, but it truly shows the power of community! Hi, Andrew. Your upcoming Everest adventure is incredibly exciting. Wishing you godspeed! I finally had the opportunity to meet John face-to-face in January when my wife and I had flown "home" to New Hampshire from Florida for a brief stay. (We left the state in 2013 for work, retired out of Texas in early 2021, and...

Dear Traders,My big announcement is that I have made the decision to go to Mount Everest this year. In order to prepare, I will be heading to Bolivia at the end of this month for some high-altitude climbing of up to around 24,000 feet (7,300 meters). I will then be flying to Nepal at the end of April to summit the biggest mountain in the world. Usually, the summit push is in the second or...

Dear Traders,This week will probably be another volatile and amazing week. Over the weekend, Credit Suisse, the troubled Swiss bank, was acquired for 27 cents/share by the other large bank in Switzerland, UBS. Also, last week, Silicon Valley Bank was rescued by the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve. The market stabilized a little bit and, thanks to Ardi, I covered my puts on GS both today and last week for a nice profit.It’s the...

Hello Traders,I am back in Vancouver and traded from the office today. Markets are volatile and we are seeing full % point swings in the markets. This morning, Nasdaq was up before going red, and now it is working its way back up again. The semiconductors and Microsoft are up today based on all the hype surrounding AI and all the cloud computing they might need for all their language models. I traded AMD and...

I am writing to you from my plane, some 10,000 meters (33,000 feet) above sea level, on my way back to Vancouver. I was away for work these past two weeks but still managed to trade and keep up with the market. Speaking of the market, similar to 2008, banks are collapsing at a rapid speed! First Republic is a bank now looking for a rescue plan while Credit Suisse got $50 billion in liquidity...

Hello Traders,I am writing this newsletter from the balcony of my hotel, the Waldorf Astoria, which is right next to the amazing weather and water of the Gulf in the UAE. I was in Switzerland for the weekend, I am now in the UAE, and I will be flying back to Vancouver tonight. What crazy market volatility! After the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and its bailout by the Fed and the Treasury Department, we now...

Hello Traders,Firstly, I want to apologize for missing trading this morning. I am returning to Dubai to take care of some work and should be back and trading soon. I had an incredible time visiting some of our traders in Zürich, Switzerland. It is amazing to me the depth of this community and the diversity of traders we have all around the world. At the same time, Brian has given up on trading and is now...

Dear Traders,I am writing this newsletter from Zürich, Switzerland, where I flew from the UAE for the weekend. I will be back again in the Emirates next week. One nice thing about living in the Middle East is that it is so central to everywhere. You can easily make a weekend trip back and forth to the EU. In Canada, the first big city is a 6-hour flight away, and all within Canada! The market is...

Dear Traders,I am writing these words to you from the UAE, where I have had two really nice trading days on TSLA. I do apologize for a mic issue that my PC is having, as my voice could not be properly heard in the chatroom. Paras and I both made some great trades on TSLA, and I discussed our trades in today’s recap. The market opened strong today, but the optimism did not last long. A...

Dear Traders,First and foremost, Happy International Women’s Day. We are blessed to have so many successful female traders in our community who not only trade with us but also teach us. Today, Paras and I had a great time trading. Paras traded AMD and I shorted Tesla. On a not-so-much-fun note, my computer stopped working and I couldn’t share the video recording with my team in order to create the recap. At least we have the...
