The Traders Podcast with Rob Booker

Rob Booker talks to Neal Gilbert, the educational specialist at GFT Markets and FX360, about the Euro/Swiss Franc, which is perhaps the most interesting trade in the world of finance right now. They discuss the very unusual situation that’s occuring with the Euro/Swiss, and the problematic nature of having to spend $21.50 of U.S. currency to buy a Big Mac in Switzerland. Rob and Neal also talk about why the Swiss National Bank periodically intervenes in the currency markets by buying Euros and selling off Swiss Francs. And they wrap up their discussion by talking about the temptations of changing your trading plan, moving your stop-loss and staying in a losing trade. Join us!

Continuing on the hot topic of Facebook, Rob Booker speaks with “The Coach,” Scott Welsh, about trading back to fair value and comparing Facebook’s IPO and the Euro-Swiss currency pair. They discuss whether it’s too early to judge what fair value is for Facebook, and whether one can accurately assess fair value from a chart. Rob and Scott also take a look at Abercrombie & Fitch, Apple and J.P. Morgan to help illustrate their discussion. Rob also compares Apple’s and Facebook’s price-to-earnings ratios. Fun stuff.
