The Traders Podcast with Rob Booker

Hello Traders Podcast listeners! Welcome to Episode 486. Today your host Rob Booker and producer Jason Pyles talk about the merits of starting with a clean slate because of a great listener comment. And, Rob recently read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing. Specifically for trading, when is the best time of the year to step away from the markets? Then, Rob and Jason go on to vote on the greatest Thomas Edison quotes. Thomas Edison was more than just a scientist. Traders could look to him for guidance on trading philosophies. For example what did he do when his lab burned down? He rebuilt it. As traders sometimes we just have to rebuild. Enjoy and thanks for listening!
