  • 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 mo... more
