In this episode, Richard Moglen sits down with bestselling author Jack D. Schwager and co-author George Coyle to celebrate the release of their newest book, Market Wizards: The Next Generation. Recorded on launch day, the conversation digs into how today's young top traders compare to the legends of the original Market Wizards series, what they share, and what's genuinely new about how they win.

Jack and George cover the rise of small-cap parabolic shorting, why so many of these traders started as day traders before lengthening their time frame, the role of video games and hyper-focus, journaling and chart study, surviving multiple blowups, and the anonymous trader who took $40,000 to half a billion. They also share the favorite chapters that surprised them β€” and tease the 2027 follow-up focused on hedge fund managers.

What you'll learn:

βœ… The three principles every Market Wizard shares β€” and the rare exceptions
βœ… Why so many young traders start as day traders, then lengthen the time frame
βœ… How parabolic short sellers survive a strategy with brutal negative asymmetry
βœ… The role of video games, focus, and "hyperfocus" ADHD in elite trading
βœ… Journaling, chart study, and reviewing your own tapes like game film
βœ… How traders evolved through 30%+ drawdowns and multiple early blowups
βœ… The anonymous trader who went $40,000 β†’ $500,000,000 and his Carvana lesson
βœ… Why charts were added to the book this time β€” and how they picked them
βœ… The personality split between solo traders and hedge fund managers (2027 book preview)
