Austin brings back David Capablanca (The Friendly Bear) to preview their October 10th City Club LA conference featuring market-wizard-level trader Tom Hougaard. They riff on trading while traveling, first-red-day setups, focusing on dilutive biotechs with warrant overhangs, and how anchored VWAP + proactive TA still carry in 2025.
David makes the case that the #1 edge most traders ignore is in-person networking—and explains why even long-only traders should study the short side.
