Welcome to The Philosophical Trader. We’re dedicated to giving you accessible advice and trading ideas, with a focus on macro trends, hedging, and appropriate investing for your goals. And to have fun while doing it. This blog is initially intended for active investors who already know basic and intermediate financial terms and a bit about the markets.
I started this blog in 2022 in an attempt to rekindle my passion for writing using my current trading addiction as a catalyst. I have been trading on and off since about 1998, have been through numerous market cycles, lost and made a lot of money along the way. Since Covid, I have been trading actively.
I manage family money, using various strategies depending on the goals of my “clients”, and will provide advice and details of what I am doing along the way. I will always post my recommendations; let you know what I am trading and for whom; and won’t charge you for any advice.
You can spend 24 hours a day staring at charts, analyzing data points, reverse engineering past trends, ad infinitum and at the end of the day, you probably won’t beat the market.
I am hoping you can learn from my mistakes, and we can all make some money together. While the focus of this blog is financial in nature, from time to time I will muse on other topics.
I hope you enjoy The Philosophical Trader. If you have any questions or comments, suggestions, etc. please contact me at cgkahl@gmail.com.
