In this episode of Fill the Gap: The Official Podcast of the CMT Association, we welcome Jay Woods, CMT, the Chief Global Strategist for Freedom Capital Markets.
Prior to joining Freedom, he was the Chief Market Strategist at DriveWealth Institutional. He also served as an Executive Floor Governor at the NYSE, the highest elected position at the Exchange held by only six NYSE members.
Jay spent over 25 years as a Designated Market Maker on the NYSE floor. He started with Spear, Leeds, and Kellogg, then joined Goldman Sachs for 14 years and moved on to IMC after Goldman divested their floor operation. As a DMM, he was responsible for several high-profile IPOs and led trading in some of the most active issues at the NYSE.
Jay gives us insights from his significant experience as a trader on the NYSE floor and as a Designated Market Maker. Our conversation centered heavily on technical analysis being the roadmap to finding and telling the story of a stock. He emphasizes the importance of keeping it simple and not overcomplicating your analysis. Think of the scenarios, where the risk/reward is set up, and keep your analysis as simple as possible. You can use other indicators to justify your story, but don't think there's one that's the holy grail. Be flexible, be nimble, always be ready to change your thesis.
Fill the Gap, hosted by David Lundgren, CMT, CFA and Tyler Wood, CMT brings veteran market analysts and money managers onto a monthly podcast.
