The best gift I've ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like, it was so, it was all wrapped up,

it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing shaped like a bike and I had a little ribbon on it and I was so guest.

For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now so for that one change me a little.

Markets, speculation and risk. This is the Chat with Traders podcast.

We're on episode 245. If you're new to the show, very warm welcome to you and everyone else.

Thank you for coming back to join us today. I'm Tessa co-host of Chat with Traders. I'm excited about our guest today.

He was interviewed in Jack Schragger's unknown market wizards.

From early on as a rebel who avoided groupthink, he sought out contrarian trading opportunities in overhyped or deeply oversold stocks and commodities.

Blessed by early trading successes, he retired to a beach in Thailand in the late 90s and traded his account full time only to experience tragedy less than a year later.

Our guest today is Jason Shapiro.

Ladies and gentlemen, before we tune into this fascinating interview with Jason, I'd first like to quickly take this opportunity to introduce the new hosts who's joining me today.

His name is Ian Cox. Ian will add another dynamic to the show due to his unique background, experience and perspectives in his own way and own style that I hope you will all come to appreciate.

If you haven't yet listened to episode 244 where I share an interview I did with Ian, please listen to it to learn more about him.

Ian, welcome aboard to Chat with Traders.
