Back then, Howard was working on Wallstrip, a business podcast that CBS eventually acquired.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In today\u2019s episode, traders will gain all sorts of knowledge from Howard\u2019s fantastic and extremely funny brain in a conversation with Tim and co-host Kim Ann Curtin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Howard Lindzon on How the Market\u2019s Changed\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both Howard and Tim are \u201cdinosaurs\u201d in the world of trading. They\u2019ve, ahem, been around for a while. So according to them, how have things really changed since the 1990s?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New traders will find it heartening to know that despite technological advances, the essence of trading remains the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding Opportunities<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does a big-deal investor like Howard go about finding opportunities? He talks about how he looks for catalysts, a \u201cfrictionless\u201d upside, and a stock where \u201cthe story is being told in price and volume.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t miss a revealing conversation about why the best opportunities aren\u2019t about discovering a stock before everyone else!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going With the Tide\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you learned in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.steadytrade.com\/ep-152-shane-dorian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Episode 152 with trader and surfer Shane Dorian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, trading is a lot like surfing.

If he knows his wife or daughter might read what he wrote, it keeps him honest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traders who are tempted to think they can\u2019t lose after a few successful trades won\u2019t want to miss this advice for how to keep your feet planted firmly on the ground!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being Good at What You Do<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The crew talks about the importance of finding your lane and staying there, so to speak. Howard speaks to the idea that if you develop a strategy and stick to it, trading can become very natural. Sure, you\u2019ll have to adapt and adjust, but you\u2019ll have a strong foundation from which to grow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Makes Stocks Move?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s the big question!
