Former stand-up comedian turned questionable stockbroker – and now day trader – Kenny Glick is my guest this episode.
You’ll get to hear a few wild stories about Kenny’s transition from comedy club stages to a super aggressive brokerage firm straight out of the movie, Boiler Room.
After realizing his morals were a major obstacle to his success in peddling junk stocks, he moved on to a career in trading stocks and options – something we’ll dive into during this episode.
You’ll also get to pick up a few nuggets of wisdom that you can apply to your own way of trading…
What’s Covered in This Interview:
- Life before trading – Kenny’s career as a comedian, his internship at Saturday Night Live, that time he hung out with Adam Sandler, and the stock broker that poached him from the comedy industry.
- What it was like to work at shady brokerages, the script he followed to close prospects on the phone, and the ultimate low in his stock broker career.
- The strategies that a successful penny stock trader taught Kenny, his performance during the Dot Com era, as well as his experience of the ’08 market crash.
- Kenny goes over the term that he’s coined “exhaustion situation formation” – essentially the chart pattern that usually precedes large price moves in beat range-bound stocks.
- The only time it’s okay for a day trade to turn into a swing trade, the one thing to help unprofitable traders, and the illusion negatively affecting many traders.
