227: How to Lose Money by Trading Stocks Irresponsibly with Joe Conti

Author: Paul Moore and Josh Thomas August 31, 2020 Duration: 33:10

Joe Conti is one of the original "Day Traders" that we hear about today. He began his career in 1990 under the tutelage of Harvey Houtkin. Harvey was known as the "Godfather of SOES Trading" (small order execution system) and is largely responsible for the market's current transparency, allowing the public access to the depth of the market and order flow, which at the time made Mr. Houtkin the most hated man on Wall Street.  

Over the past 30 years, Joe has trained or educated over 1000 traders and continues to trade and teach to this day. He has seen virtually every mistake made, causing more than 93% of traders to fail. Joe has been featured in Forbes, CNBC, and an entire chapter was dedicated to him and his trading success in the book, "Electronic Trading Masters: Secrets from the Pros".

Joe has also enjoyed a successful 8-year run on radio in South Florida. His last show was hosting the 101.1 FM Morning Show. 

Joe's passion is still trading, and he has combined his 30 years of trading experience into a live, two-hour, stock trading course designed to keep traders trading for decades, not days. 


Paul Moore and Josh Thomas host How to Lose Money, but don't let the title fool you. This is a wealth-building conversation built on a simple, powerful premise: the most valuable lessons often come from what went wrong, not what went right. Each episode delves into the honest, sometimes gut-wrenching stories behind business failures and costly missteps. You'll hear from entrepreneurs in the thick of a tough season and executives analyzing strategic errors, all sharing the hard-won insights they gained in the process. The focus isn't on the failure itself, but on the clarity and resilience forged in those moments. For anyone building a business, leading a team, or simply fascinated by the real, unvarnished path to success, this podcast offers a unique and compelling perspective. New conversations arrive every Monday, providing a regular dose of practical wisdom earned the hard way. Tune in for a refreshingly candid look at how the road to financial and professional growth is often paved with lessons learned from losing.
