Summary: In this fiery episode of The Traders Podcast, your host, Rob Booker, “solo-casts” about PFGBest’s Peregrine Financial Group Inc. and its founder, Russell Wasendorf Sr., who was found to have absconded with $215 million, over a 20+ period of time, which somehow flew beneath the radar of the National Futures Association (the NFA) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC). PRODUCER'S NOTE: The Traders Podcast contacted the National Futures Association for comment, and it has declined to respond altogether. Rob also describes how an honest person might be tempted to become a dishonest person — and he illustrates this description with an analogy about a baseball player trying to aspire to the big leagues. Also, Rob publicly calls out Gary Gensler, the CFTC chairman, asks him to step down and suggests that a class action lawsuit brought against him. Tune in to hear why! All of this and more, so buckle up! THE EDGE TRADING VIDEO SERIES — a series of videos by Rob Booker and his co-host on TFL TV, the Commander Rob Wilson. This series includes 10 hours of video instruction about Edge trading — a way to plan trades with bigger profit targets and smaller stop-losses.
