Evil Machines Are Taking Over The Markets

…or not. Lot’s of questions coming my way about the discussions in the media surrounding machine trading. Most are asking if I think that machine trading is the monster that it’s being made out to be, and if it’s killing the markets for regular day traders like us. My own feeling that as long as real people account for the majority of the volume being traded each day, even if only a very tiny majority, then nothing has changed for us. News outlets and people who have...

Penny Stocks Redux

I talked about penny stocks a year or so ago, but it’s a subject I still get emails about every week, all asking basically the same thing: “Do you trade penny stocks, and if not, why not?” The answer is unequivocally no! I don’t trade penny stocks, and I don’t recommend trading them either. Why not? Well as I’m sure you’ve figured out by now, I like to try and make my life easy and stress-free. So when it comes to trading, I look for stocks with large...

Where’s Harvey?

I know, I know, it’s been ages since I’ve posted anything! There are two main reasons for this: 1. The markets, as always, are so full of wonderful trades, sometimes it just doesn’t leave time to post. 2. I ran out of things to say. That second one is the main issue. My last series of videos reached a natural conclusion with the final Let’s Get Practical film. Doing more live trading videos isn’t really where I want to go, because they are of little value...

Here’s a quick heads up for you… If you are in the UK, or have access to BBC 2 TV via some means such as satellite or the rather excellent iPlayer, then you may want to check out a new show tonight – Million Dollar Traders – at 9pm GMT / 4pm EST. According to the BBC website: “Eight ordinary people are given a million dollars, a fortnight of intensive training and two months to run their own hedge fund. Can they make a killing?” This is being billed as...
