Who remembers Scottstrade? Us older traders will have a fond memory of them and how awesome it was they offered $7.99 commissions! My guest, Mark, has had a wide variety of experiences as he\u2019s been around for quite some time! Don\u2019t get me wrong, I absolutely love talking with guests who are on the younger end of the spectrum; however, when you talk with someone who is older, you can get some great stories form \u201cthe good ol\u2019 days\u201d. Mark has been through quite a bit and shares some big ups and downs which I\u2019m confident we can relate to. Mark has traded pink sheet penny stocks, normal stocks, options and is now moving into futures. He\u2019s a bit unique in the sense he tends to blend fundamental and macroeconomic ideas into his trades, but hey, we all have our different approaches to the market. Like all of us, Mark still has work to do, but the one underlying dynamic I noticed in his journey is becoming extremely good at acknowledging when he does not understand something instead of keeping himself in the dark. Most of his problems came from staying in the dark, but when he has grabbed the flashlight, things change quickly (amazing how that works, huh?). Let\u2019s get to it!
