Forecasting, Understanding Human Nature, and Living Well – Eric Gemelli

Today on the podcast we have Eric Gemelli. For those of you unfamiliar with him, let me give you a brief bio.

Mr. Gemelli started working in finance in 1987 and has served in many positions in the insurance and mortgage banking industries. He has traded commodities for a living and raised venture capital.

These experiences gave him the ability to write a syndicated finance column with millions of readers, including his column predicting the market crash that correlated to the September 11 crash.

While living in Chicago, home to the S&P pits at the Mercantile Exchange, Gemelli had an office in a bank, across the hall from one of the country’s top S&P traders. His mentor was rich, old and bored and enjoyed having an eager student to pass on a lifetime of experience and knowledge. Gemelli used the patterns taught him by his mentor to predict the market crash that corresponded to September 11th.

Mr. Gemelli released a book, Velocity Money Machine, in which he breaks down the strategies he uses to make a living as a trader.

In this podcast, we discuss trading, investing, forecasting, whether you can really predict the future using math, and take a Segway into wisdom and living well.
