My Experience in Shenzhen, China

Towards the end of November, I travelled to Shenzhen, China to present at the International Finance Exposition (FINEXPO).

The Shenzhen FINEXPO was jointly held by China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, China Chamber of International Commerce, and Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government between November 21-23, 2008 at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center.

Whilst I was in Hong Kong before heading over to China, I took the opportunity to see one my mentors, Ray Barros and interview him.

Starting trading back in the 1970s, Ray has tremendous experience and in this interview, he talks about how undisciplined traders can become disciplined, how to develop entry signals and his thoughts on technical indicators, how the financial crisis has affected his trading, why risk management is so important and how his trading differs between his personal account and his funds management.

Finally, he offers the best advice he could give a close friend or family member who wanted to start trading.

I even did an informal video on the morning of my presentation outside the Convention Centre - you can watch it below:

I hope you enjoy them …

All Things Fundamental @ The ASR

Some of you may know that I perform a consulting role for the Australian Stock Report (ASR), one of Australia’s leading daily trading reports. The other day I was in their office and took the opportunity to interview Geoff Saffer, their Head of Research.

Geoff talks about how we got into this mess, the price of oil, currencies, housing markets and what needs to happen for things in the world to improve.  You can watch it in three parts below.

I hope you enjoy it.

My Experience in Dalian, China

At the end of October, I travelled to Dalian, China to present at the Global Chinese Financial Forum.

The Forum is the largest series of bilingual (Chinese/ English) financial functions in North America. Dalian is the centre of foreign trade within the province, and is one of the largest international commercial ports in China, being the northernmost ice-free harbour for the nation.

I grabbed the chance to jump on the main stage and interview one of my mentors Daryl Guppy, who spoke about the Chinese economy in light of the global economic crisis and the US Dollar.  You can watch the first part below:

and part 2

I even did an informal video the next morning, which you can view below:

I will be travelling to Shenzhen in late November for another expo so I plan on conducting more interviews and showing you when I return.
