Meet the Host

Hey I’m Pat and I host the Stock Market Stories Podcast. The goal of the podcast is to interview interesting traders with strategies that I don’t fully understand.

That could be anything from the more obscure (trading illiquid stuff like preferred stocks or ETNs) to the less ambiguous (event-driven trading). As long as they seem to approach the market with a unique lens, I think we can all benefit from their insight.

A bit about me, I’ve been a finance writer/journalist for the past 5-6 years. My first experience with trading was seeing one of those ridiculous pennystock trading commercials. I totally fell for the marketing but it worked out because I’ve been obsessed with markets since then.

One of my favorite pastimes is hearing the stories of great traders on podcasts or audiobooks. This podcast was basically started as an excuse to talk to my first guest, Peter To, because hearing his approach to markets on the Chat With Traders podcast made me so curious.
