No big introduction today. A repeat guest, a new interview with Market Wizard Tom Basso.

Tom has been on this podcast. I don't know how many times, but there's a reason for that.

Tom gives you that peaceful, easy feeling, and he always seems to have, how do I want to say this?

Just the right way of thinking. If you can't learn something from Tom, his tone, his perspective,

some insight, some factoid, there's something wrong with you. Without any further delay from me, let's jump right into my episode today with

trend following trader Tom Baso. You're a guy that first officially retired at what age?

51.

And I think you're a very prepared, planned guy, and I'm sure that would have been fine for the rest of your life. But now,

here we are all these years later, and I know it's not for the money. You just must be having

so much fun. You're busier. You are absolutely busier from what I can observe just across

in social media and I'll see something in a feed or whatever.

You have to be busier than many other young people that are trying to do what you're doing.

You must love this.

That's true.

We got Facebook and LinkedIn chiming in for about 5,000 followers.

And we got X now up to 55.5 or something thousand followers. More people I think know

who Tom Basso is than they did when I was a money manager I think. And yeah, I've been retired now 20 years.

If I go about seven and a half more years, I figure, I will have been retired longer than I was a

money manager, which is really hard for me to get around my head. Actually, when I retired, I first

retired, I took a year off of trading. I went to money markets and I just said, I'm not going to

even look at a screen. I'm not going to be in a computer. I'm just going to go out and prune my plants.

And I worked out a lot.
