Samantha is known for timing major market inflection points in equities, commodities, bonds, currencies, cryptos and especially volatility.  In this episode we break down Samantha’s macro-to-micro framework and cover a wide range of topics. We start with some high-level macro discussions of why it’s important to pay attention to policy decisions and credit markets in order to inform stock market movement.  We then drill down into the importance of volatility and technical analysis in order to frame out trades, construct a portfolio, and anticipate market moves.  We also discuss the recent inflow of brand new traders entering financial markets and how Samantha is helping onboard more women into the space.
