Markets, speculation and risk. This is the Chatwood Trader's podcast.

Hey, what's going on everyone? Quick break here from regular programming. There is something

I would like to share with you. Let's call it a public service announcement, if you will.

This is not an easy decision, in fact far, far from it. But I've done quite a lot of contemplating

as of late. And sometime later this year I'll be moving on from host of Chatwood Traders.

Not immediately, not right now, so please chill, but later on in the year. Does this mean the end?

Now I've kept this quiet, so I'm fairly sure most will be unaware. I became a dad in March

last year, so I now have a little boy. And of course there goes another few hours each day.

I also do CrossFit or Train in the evenings pretty much every day, and I view this being physical

exercise as a very necessary requirement for my ability to be able to trade well.

So as I've demonstrated here and as time management is not necessarily my strong point,

I quickly run out of hours in the day. I basically end up squeezing the podcast in first thing in

the morning or later on in the evening. And I don't know how it comes across, but behind the scenes,
