ON THE AIR with ForexAnalytix

I had a great time with Dale Pinkert over at F.A.C.E. a couple weeks ago. It has been awhile since I have shared my thoughts with an audience in that way. Dale and I go way back so we gist a bit but the chat kept us on topic LOL. You can see the highlights on Instagram already if you follow us there.

Jump to the 24:40 mark to hear my thoughts on:

  • $EURGBP in a failing rally that is still playing out this week
  • $GBPJPY buy opportunity
  • How the almighty dollar has been a both a winner AND a loser
  • And, venture capital in Africa. I’m grateful to Dale for honoring my growth into other asset classes and his willingness to learn about them all. This is why investors and traders, alike, love to speak with Dale.

Some of these ideas are in our clients’ portfolios. To understand which ones can work for you or for help to invest for your own wealth, talk to our advisors at FM Capital Group. Would you like more information on Investment Advisory, Portfolio Services, and VC? Schedule a meeting with us here.

ON THE AIR with The Trader’s Vibe

Last month, I had the pleasure of speaking with a new traders community. Led by Carl Burgette, The Trader’s Vibe is a new weekly video podcast series where Carl interviews notable and prominent traders every week. To be considered notable and prominent in this business is truly an honor so I was happy to join him on the show. As with any new community, we spent much of the time talking about my background and how I entered into finance (which is a very unorthodox path, to say the least). Of course, we talked markets and what I was seeing at that time in the GBP. However, this was the first time that I was asked about how I’ve been treated as a woman in the business and my thoughts on bringing more women and people of color into finance.

Catch my episode of The Trader’s Vibe below. Enjoy!

ON THE AIR with Market Overtime with Nicole Petallides

I joined Market Overtime with Nicole Petallides to talk about the longer term trends presenting right now in the currency markets. This was my first time on the show. Weak GBP remains the prevailing theme in forex right now. Listen to hear why. Enjoy!

ON THE AIR with F.A.C.E.

Today, I spoke live with over 200 traders in the Forex Analytix Community Experience (F.A.C.E.) about what the opportunities are in GBP for the new trading week ahead. With multiple pairs ending the previous trading week at major support levels, there were several great opportunities to share with traders live in the market on camera. That’s always great. I hope everyone who caught me live is doing some trade management now on those trades. We have some great moves already in the $GBPUSD and $GBPJPY. In case you missed it, do study the replay below.

THE TRADERS SUMMIT

When my friends at Forex Analytix asked me to join their amazing speakers line up, I was thrilled. I was honored to join the event on April 30, 2020 and speak with new traders, in particular, about how to be successful in the forex market and help all traders with some insights on the GBP. Watch the replay of my presentation below and find the entire 2-day event on their Youtube page.

ON THE AIR with FUTURES with Ben Lichtenstein

Last week, I was back on the air with Futures with Ben Lichtenstein. Since we are still in the new year season, it was a great segment that they produced as a trip around the world in currencies. Starting with the U.S. dollar, Ben and I talked about the fundamentals that are really driving currency flows in the market right now.

This morning, traders were greeted by news that the EU and UK trade talks are deteriorating. I actually mentioned this fundamental risk last week in my segment with Ben. Check out more of my thoughts on all the major currencies below. My accuracy coming to fruition this week is even amazing to me 🙂

Enjoy the show!

ON THE AIR with F.A.C.E.

I was happy to be back with Dale Pinkert at the ForexAnalytix Community Experience last Thursday morning. But super bummed that we got cut off due to technical difficulties. It was my fault (note to self: always charge up the computer before a show).

Amongst our forex talk, Dale and I also started talking about the coronavirus’s possible effects on the markets. As of last week, the markets had not really reacted to the news. However, I mentioned that I thought we would see a sell-off eventually induced by the coronavirus outbreak. So I welcome today’s price action. I don’t think it is a time to panic. It is a time to put orders in place and trigger your trading and investing plans.

Enjoy the show!

Thoughts from the Community

?I did this interview 18 months ago. And it resonated with Mike TODAY. 

“The older I get, I realize my 10+ years in this business has been a roller coaster ride that many other people can, in fact, learn from.” (http://bit.ly/2yG8YNH)

This made me think about legacy. I did this interview during a very rough season in my life. I never thought to cancel. Work was therapeutic, not a distraction, for me in that storm. The storm focused me on building a business that would support myself and my family. And this interview turned out to be a real pleasure.

Take a listen to the interview: http://bit.ly/2yG8YNH

And embrace, rather than run from, your storms. I promise there are victories in them and you may not know it until 18 months later ?

ON THE AIR with CGTN

Back in January, I attended the African Diaspora Investment Symposium (#ADIS19). CGTN was there reporting on the investment scene in Silicon Valley for Africa. China is heavily invested in Africa already and Mark Niu was at ADIS19 to give report to Chinese viewers. He was thrilled to meet a women investing in Africa and I am really happy to be able to provide this point of view. As a Nigerian woman born in the Bay Area, I know that I have a very unique view of the investment opportunities in Nigeria. Thanks to technology and social media, my view has become more continental. I meet founders based all over Africa doing really good work. It is exciting times and Mark’s story came out well. Thanks Mark!

ON THE AIR with F.A.C.E.

On Wednesday, July 3rd, an hour after my appearance the TD Ameritrade Network, I was back on the air with Dale Pinkert and the Forex Analytix Community (F.A.C.E.). We talked about the current breakdown in the Great British pound, looking specifically at levels of importance in the $EURGBP, $GBPUSD, $GBPCAD, $GBPNZD, and the $GBPAUD.

Dale is a veteran in the business and masterful interviewer. He asked some great questions about the trading courses that I have available and how clients fare with my investment advisory services. So you learn about that too!

Enjoy the show!
