This will be the last time I shout out a new episode, we aim to release a new one every Friday so if you are interested subscribe. Apparently you can just ask Alexa and hear our voices.

I really enjoy talking to Dave, we fish in different ponds but never run out of things to discuss. This week a lot about choppy markets and how it makes things tricky, position sizing, the Wyckoff approach, US solar, exponential moves and their retracement, disruption, Tesla: car maker or actually something else. At the end we even talk a bit about covid and the US elections, despite trying to avoid macro waffle!

Hope you all enjoy

Just wanted to say boys, I’m loving the new show. You are managing to walk a fine line between enough decent trading advice to make us feel we are learning, enough stock info to make us feel we might have an idea worth investigating afterwards and enough humour/ general market commentary to make it really interesting. Great job

Thanks Phuntt, that’s much appreciated. It’s fun to do and that’s great feedback to receive

Hi Donald. It might be me, but I could only find 3 podcasts on your link. Has the 4th been uploaded?

Yes, but Apple are quite odd, sometimes it appears on phones, tablets and desktops at different times and also at different times for different people: it must be to do with their servers.

Anyway, these links should work:

Thanks for listening!

The podcasts.apple link worked for me.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. Agree with Phuntt in that you have a good balance between your stockmarket thoughts and information put across with a nice level of relaxed humour. (So many other podcasts or blogs I've come across have given great information, but done in such a dry and boring way that I've given up half way through.)

I hope you do continue to give a shout-out here as a reminder; it's all too easy to miss things on iTunes when trying to keep an eye on multiple podcast subscriptions.

Another excellent podcast chaps you bounce off each other well agree with the other comments would be great if you could continue a shout out here also as easy to miss your pearls when life gets in the way and things aren't sign posted.

Thanks Donald. I managed to find it on the Apple link. Great discussion. It was a particularly interesting chat for me as I'm starting to buy Tesla and have been building up a position in renewable energy via £INRG and $ICLN (ETFs). Unfortunately I overlooked Jinkosolar which I think will continue to do well, but I wouldn't buy it at it's current price - not yet anyway. Tesla is a fascinating company and I liked the way you covered it. One aspect of the Tesla price that might be worthy of discussion is the massive short interest in Tesla. (It's been described as the 'widow maker' of shorts.) How much influence do you think the shorters have on the price? Maybe something for a future podcast.

OK, more than happy to give weekly shoutouts. This looks like being our record episode to date in terms of downloads so thanks to everyone who listens and if there is a stock or a book or approach that anyone wants us to discuss do let me know.

Anything on what you both look for with regards to red flags from a technical and fundamental point of view would be of interest to the masses I would have thought Donald. Regards Andy.

Have just posted a link to your podcasts on another share's subscription site of which I'm a member so hopefully a few extra listeners will pass your way,

That is really appreciated. We have got more downloads every day this week compared to last, so people obviously aren't bored of us droning on too much yet! Many thanks, and if there is anything you'd ever like Dave and I to look at just let us know.

I came across your podcasts today when doing a search for discussion on EKF Diagnostics Holdings (LON:EKF) and it brought up your episode 3 so it would be good if you do continue to post your weekly new episode release with any shares covered in the appropriate box and then others searches would pick it up.

Cheers

Hi Donald

Maybe these bullet points could we worth discussion,

How you both got started in shares,

How long it took for you both to make the leap to full time investors,

Chart set ups you look for (ideally with examples),

Your money management techniques for the downside where do you look to place stops straight 10% or just below say three month support,

Do yo use weekly or daily numbers for charts.

Your biggest winners and biggest disasters and what you learned from each experience,

How many stocks do you hold on average in your portfolios,

Do/how you screen for sectors in favour,

Red flags you look out for,

Do you trade etf;s investment trusts or funds.

Minimum and Maximum market caps you both trade.

Hopefully some points worthy of a ramble in that lot and may the podcasts go from strenght to strength in an area full of sharks its always good for genuine guides to educate people who aren't as far down the journey.

Regards Andy

Thanks Andy, there is so much to discuss there, but screening is definitely something we need to cover, along with timeframes and red flags...pleased you enjoy it and thanks to you (and others!) for continued support

I am working my way through your podcasts - they are great!

Just to say, a quick post here (if allowed?) is very useful.

I sometimes find it quite difficult to pick out the names you mention during the podcasts - a combination of my slight deafness, your bantering style (which is wonderful by the way), and the zoom warble we are all becoming familiar with! Your list of stocks mentioned here is invaluable. I can quickly pull up the charts and gain a 3D view of what you are talking about.

I'm sure it will drive more people to your podcast as well.

Please keep posting these reminders.

Thanks Again.
