Ray and JJ are the BEST!

Ray and JJ are amazing. JJ’s and incredible storyteller and his ability to teach and make things easily understandable is amazing. Thank you both for making these!

Espo354 ,

Great show

I’ve listened to every episode. JJ has forgot more than I’ll ever know. How can you not be impressed by somebody who’s met Bernie Madoff and Muriel Siebert? All kidding aside, you won’t find anybody more knowledgeable about how the stock market works then JJ. Ray is also a great host.

Nothing but the good stuff

They don't need to get introduced by a a woman with a beautiful voice for radio, they don't have a five minute segment on what beer they're drinking during today's show, they don't get caught up in politics, and they don't spend half the podcast polishing their egos by forecasting the markets after telling you that the markets can't be forecasted.

These two and their guests make up the best podcast on trading the markets from the perspective of a retail trader, period. You want to know what moves the markets and where you fit in? J.J.'s insight on the big players like market makers and other institutions is second to none. Want to avoid getting chopped up? Want to avoid getting hit by a truck? Think RSI is a fool-proof buy/sell indicator? Listen in and J.J. will tell you how to keep yourself from becoming a pawn for liquidity and cutting yourself on all that cheap paper.

All Day Ray's direction and targeted questions keep the conversation and interviews on track and help focus in on what you want to know and the things you didn't realize you needed to know.

The guests on the show are absolute giants in the trading world and will send you down the rabbit hole on books, research, market psychology and market history. This is a great resource to get connected to other tools to help you learn the trade as well.
