We get into how the field has changed over the years. We also talk about Colin’s experience about modern financial markets chronicling the men and women who make them move. Can they beat the markets, or will the markets beat them? We further talk about the aspects of repositioning one’s portfolio during a crisis. How does one behave as a trader when the markets crash?
