For the past hour, I’ve been listening to mp3 interviews with traders from traderinterviews.com. So far, they are really enjoyable! I especially liked the one from Teresa Appleton. She talks about how no one ever seems to sit down and figure out how much money they need to make every day to comfortably trade for a living. I was so glad to hear that, because that’s one of the first things I did, when I started seriously considering it. I still have the spreadsheet, where I totalled up my monthly expenses, and figured in taxes, and the number of trading days, etc.
You can subscribe to their interviews as a podcast, which is cool, because right now iTunes is downloading the whole set for me, so I can listen to them from wherever on my iPod. Interviews with traders are often a lot more educational than books on technical analysis, once you know the basics. Interviews help you absorb some of the wisdom people have picked up from years of watching the markets. Very cool.
Don’t forget there’s a bunch of great textual interviews at the StockTickr interview series as well!

I’ve been doing the same thing! I’m going to write a bit about the Jason Alan Jankovsky interview, so don’t steal my thunder. ;)
I recommend listening to the interviews, too. There was one with Dave Mabe from Stocktickr. It was fun to hear his voice after reading his text for so long.

I can’t agree more with you guys. I have been listening to these interviews on my MP3 players.
Good stuff.
