This was a long extensive interview and covered a lot of important topics about trading. Concretum backed up a lot of the questions with their thorough research, so I thought the interview was very educational. Enjoy the read and the ride!

We are glad to announce that our full interview with @basso_tom is now available!

Many of you probably know Tom as “Mr. Serenity”, the nickname @jackschwager gave him when he featured him in The New Market Wizards, the second book in his famous series.

Tom has been incredibly generous in sharing his experience and insights from nearly 50 years in the markets. We covered a wide range of topics, bringing together valuable lessons that are rarely found in a single conversation.

Among other things, we discuss:

✅Systematic Trading
✅Trend Following
✅Position Sizing
✅All-Weather Portfolio Construction
✅Research and Backtesting
✅Trading Psychology

We also include several original backtests and quantitative analyses developed by @ConcretumR to illustrate some of the ideas discussed.

If you are interested in systematic trading, we strongly encourage you to set aside 15 minutes to read or listen to this interview. We believe you will find plenty of valuable insights, regardless of your experience level.

A big thank you to Tom for his time and generosity!

Enjoy your learning!

Walking the dog this morning, I realized that the sun came up at roughly the same time as last week. That’s because Arizona was smart enough to opt out of another wacko idea from DC called Daylight Savings Time. We are Mountain Standard all year long. I wish the rest of you would lock standard as well…
