Ep 73: David Sun’s High-Conviction Mindset in Trading
When it comes to trading and investing, most people focus on return on capital. But according to David Sun, money isn’t what it’s all about. He argues that time is a form of capital. If you have a very efficient strategy and can do other things with your time, then you can gain a different form of return on capital.
While his “passive investing” style might be low-touch, that doesn’t mean it’s low-knowledge.
Do you want to break free from the chains of 24/7 trading? Are you ready to get a “return on time” in your trading career?
In this unique two-part interview with The Wall Street Coach Podcast host Kim Ann Curtin, David shares his unique yet realistic and highly accessible approach to trading. Then, the interview moves over to a live Twitter Space recording. Prepare to look at trading and work-life balance in a whole new way!
