Dear
Wall Street Daily Reader,
“Based on the bearish Power Gauge rating, I think the risk of a negative earnings surprise is too great.”
I said those words in 2012… as I was appearing, for the first time, on CNBC’s Fast Money Halftime Report.
On the panel next to me was Jon Najarian. I’m guessing you’ve heard of him…
The NFL-linebacker-turned-high-profile-trader had become a household name in the financial world by then. He would go on to sell his publishing and trading platforms, optionMONSTER and tradeMONSTER, to E-Trade just a few years later… for $750 million.

“You’re not really going to only rely on the firm’s research, are you?”
It was 1966. I had just landed a position as a broker. And at the time, I really did think my own firm’s research would be plenty for me and my clients.
A member of the “old guard” had pulled me aside to tell me different. “Listen, you’ll have to learn this on your own. But there’s someone I think you should know about…”
It might sound like a random piece of advice.
But it was actually a life-changing introduction… one that completely transformed my approach to helping investors.
