Podcast
The Common Man Hedge Fund
Hosted by Chris Wilson · EN
Are you one of the many investors who would stop working and retire tomorrow if you were sure you could generate enough income? If you don't have your retirement funds hedged in some way, you are at great risk if we get a prolonged bear market. You don't have to be dependent on the market going up. You can create your own personal hedge fund with your existing assets that will generate monthly, spendable income whether the market goes up, down, or sideways. The Common Man Hedge Fund podcast will discuss this idea and teach you some techniques sure to be helpful in the coming rough times.

Walking Through a Profitable Iron Condor Trade
Oct 21, 202200:20:01Tap to summarizeIn this weekly update from 10/7/2022, I walk through an Iron Condor trade that I put on 9/1/2022 and managed until closing it a few days before the 10/7/2022 expiration date. This trade was a success, making $1477 in just over 30 days. I go through my thought process on how I considered adjustments along the way, and ultimately how it was closed out for a nice profit.

Transcribe →Lessons Learned from a Poorly Managed Iron Condor Trade
Sep 15, 202200:32:41Tap to summarizeMost people don't share their losing trades. In this video, I talk about a trade that I badly mismanaged. I have metrics that I use to adjust trades when the market moves against us. In this trade, I tried to roll a call credit spread up and out, but I wasn't aggressive enough in rolling it, so I ended up having to take a pretty significant loss. I point out several things to do differently in the future to stay out of this type of situation. Check out my website at https://commonmanhedgefund.com

Transcribe →Two types of traders - which type are you?
Jul 20, 202200:16:18Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I discuss the two types of trading mentality - trend following vs mean reversion. Neither is right or wrong, but they are very different.

Transcribe →Detecting Financial BS
Jul 19, 202200:08:27Tap to summarizeIn this episode I discuss a study that was recently published in a financial journal about detecting financial BS.

The findings of the study on who is most and least susceptible to getting duped is quite interesting.
