During those 30 years her trading programs have stayed exactly the same and she shares openly about the 4 key programs, which make her money in the markets.Linda says ‘You need to learn to do one thing and do it well and specialize in it. Do not try and trade too many markets and do too many things.’She had to learn all the lessons the hard way. From blowing out her account at age 22 and going into debt 3 months into her career her advice is that people need ENDURANCE to stick it out on the learning curve. ‘Trading is definitely a patience game.’ Linda herself is still learning about trading and loves that it gives her a PhD on the world even if it has taken 10 years off her life in stress.The thing that Linda thinks she does best is SINGLE-MINDEDNESS. And it is true she traded during labor, rolling over a futures contract to her broker on the phone.Her advice to new traders, you have to have thick enough skin and be able to pull yourself up by the bootstraps.Come and enjoy and adore Linda Raschke and her openness about her market life. If your trading feels like running on a treadmill — sweating, pushing, but going nowhere — it’s because you’re missing the right system. Louise says: "I’m offering free 30-minute calls to rip the brakes off your trading.

Hold onto your seats boys - research shows female investors outperform men.In this episode of Talking Trading we speak to Meredith Jones, author of Women of the Street. She provides fresh data, stories and statistics from Wall Street on why women have a money management edge. From less ‘overconfidence’, over-trading and testosterone to a greater tolerance for market noise, Meredith shows that if someone is wearing Louboutins and not loafers in the markets then they may be the better investor. Meredith JonesMeredith Jones spent 17 years on Wall Street and interviewed 11 top performing female money managers for her book 'Women of The Street'.Chris Tate is a fan of Meredith and her evidence that women are better investors than men and that we would all be wealthier if we invested ‘like a girl’.Women’s outperformance of men can be drawn to specific characteristics:Less OVER confidence, which means women tend not to over trade.Greater conviction in their investments, which means women tend not sell into bad markets and helps them navigate volatile markets.Frequent reevaluation of their portfolio, which means women tend to recognize more effectively if they are the only person doing something in the market and they are either early or they are a lunatic.Out of the box thinking. Women often look for stocks that may not be as sexy or flashy but have good growth.Ability to match to expectation with actual results. There is a theory that says if there were more money managers in the markets then there would not be as much volatility and we would not have as many bubbles and busts.Meredith also walks us through the evolutionary reasons why men and women developed their different financial skill sets and why she advocates both male and female investment managers to ensure true diversification and maximize your money. Louise Bedford is a best-selling author of six sharemarket books, host of the Talking Trading podcast, and founder of TradingGame.com.au, one of Australia’s leading trading education communities.For over 30 years she has helped traders master trading the Australian sharemarket, technical analysis, and trading psychology so they can build long-term financial independence.www.tradinggame.com.au www.talkingtrading.com.au.FacebookYouTube TwitterLinkedIn
