Patrick Munnelly began his career in executive recruitment. After cashing in his chips in that business, he took up trading for a living. In this podcast he shares his story of a devastating loss in his early trading career, and how he managed to turn his fortunes around with the help of a mentor and therapy. He now views trading as a business and trades from the idyllic Spanish island of Mallorca. He’s a Tickmill partner and shares his trades publically on a Tickmill group.

Anthony Clark has featured as a guest on each of the 4 years that this podcast has been running. We return to get his insights annually as he is the “tallest tree” or perhaps the “only tree” as an analyst in the small and mid-cap space in South Africa. His excellent views are occasionally the subject of criticism by social media keyboard warriors, but Anthony has broad shoulders. In this podcast, we re-visit prior favourites Grindrod, Curro, Stadio and Invicta. We also discuss Renergen that has been brutal for many who bought the stock into the hype in 2021 and 2022. Anthony sees SA mid-cap shares as desperately cheap, but also remains cautious ahead of the 29 May election in South Africa.

After trading successfully part time, Charlie Burton broke away from a corporate job in 2001 to start trading for a living. He now runs CharlieBurtonTrading.com – a live trading room and mentorship service that caters to other traders. In this podcast we discuss some of the fundamental aspects of trading such as hit rates and risk to reward ratios. A golden nugget from this conversation was where Charlie mentioned that physically verbalising your trade intentions generally results in better accountability for your actions as a trader.

Bruce Main is our go-to guy when it comes to future investment themes. He first alerted listeners to the themes of genomic editing, AI and fintech in 2020. Some of the shares in those industries have been smashed during the high interest rate period of the past two years. However, there are massive bases forming in many of those shares and they are looking poised for a break to the upside. Bruce takes us through the investment case for these futuristic investment themes.
