1818 FBF: Macroeconomic Overview of China and Russia with Tom Essaye Editor of The Stevens Report
Today's Flash Back Friday is from episode 406 which was first published last August 29, 2014.
Tom Essaye is the Editor of The Sevens (7:00) Report. He joins the show to discuss macroeconomic topics including China, Russia, and junk bonds.\xa0
\xa0
Essaye is a professional trader with more than 10 years experience trading foreign and domestic equities, commodities, currencies and bonds.\xa0\xa0
\xa0
He began his career as a trader on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange for Merrill Lynch\u2019s Institutional Equity Trading division, where he regularly traded multi-million dollar orders from clients that were some of the largest mutual and hedge funds in the world.\xa0\xa0
\xa0
In early 2005, Tom Essaye recognized, through his own fundamental analysis and research, a unique investment opportunity developing in the natural resource sector and commodities markets. He left the floor of the NYSE to join an associate starting a fledgling global macro hedge fund focused on investing in commodities and natural resource equities. Mr. Essaye was responsible for all trading in the fund and for conducting fundamental research in the commodities and natural resource markets.\xa0\xa0
\xa0
The fund made investments in precious metals, agricultural commodities, energy, and natural resource related equities \u2013 placing initial long positions in gold below $500/oz, silver below $7.00/oz, corn below $2.00/bushel and buying shares in then little followed equities such as Silver Wheaton, Newmont Mining, Cameco and EOG Resources. The fund also invested in Canadian and Australian mining and energy companies, and at one point foreign equities comprised nearly half of the fund\u2019s portfolio.\xa0\xa0
\xa0
In mid-2007, while managing the energy sector portion of the fund, Mr. Essaye was one of the first analysts to realize the potential of shale natural gas, and invested heavily in shale gas producers and energy service companies that specialized in shale drilling.\xa0\xa0
\xa0
While interacting with both institutional and retail investors during his time at the fund, Mr. Essaye first began to recognize the large discrepancy between the quality of information available to professional traders versus the that available to non-professional traders. The 7:00\u2019s Report is the result of his desire to show the investing public how professional traders analyze and interpret the markets each day, and to demonstrate how, by trading a real money portfolio, that analysis translates to trade ideas and, ultimately, profitable investments.
