002: Logan Kane – Becoming a Quant, Econometrics, and Inversing Retail Investors

This is an interview from October 2019 with Logan Kane, who is a really interesting investor and SeekingAlpha contributor. He’s published some really interesting pieces over the years and I like the way he thinks about markets.

I originally came across Logan when he broke the story on Robinhood’s payment for order flow practices, which was picked up by Bloomberg and CNBC.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Starting as a bottom up value investor and becoming more quant-focused
• How to start modelling market behavior
• Practical things retail traders and investors should know about market structure
• Logan’s Robinhood story
• Thinking about time frames in trading
• How is strategy is based on on inversing retail behavior

Logan Kane is the author of High Finance: The Secrets Wall Street Doesn’t Want You To Know.
