Aaron Fifield interviews: Linda Raschke

This week on the show I interviewed Linda Raschke – an active trader since 1981, when she started out on the floor of the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange as an options market maker.

In 1992, Jack Schwager interviewed Linda for his second installment of the Market Wizard series; The New Market Wizards.

Since then, Linda has traded for several hedge funds, and in 2002 she began one of her own – which has been ranked 17th out of 4,500 hedge funds for ‘Best 5 Year Performance’ by BarclaysHedge.

Aaron’s wife is supportive, which is great. Rob explains the two opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to the support level of spouses. There is such a thing as a spouse that is too supportive, so listen in to learn how to cultivate a healthy and balanced relationship with your spouse regarding trading.

Now, let’s say you have an amazing support team and you’re ready to start. You take your first trade and it’s going to feel like a bar fight. That first time a trade goes against you, it will be yelling obscenities at you. How are you going to handle that? The answer: quiet confidence in the face of criticism. Negativity in your life doesn’t need or deserve or a response. Having been through an actual bar fight, Rob, in his new glasses and tight shirt, shares this information liberally with all.
