About Ferg
I've been a full-time trader for seven years, with "Trader Ferg" being a Twitter account and blog I created during the Covid lockdown. I have a particular style of hunting out the most hated sectors in the market, which I’ve found is where the most upside hides.
This publication is a running journal of my thought process and framework for making money in the markets. I'm constantly seeking out people smarter than me to dive deep into sectors I'm interested in and red team my views.
I've had the good fortune of being mentored by a successful hedge fund manager who has instilled in me a set of investment heuristics he's honed over his career. An example is "How to position yourself to get lucky", which usually involves positioning with asymmetry (optionality) in sectors you can’t bring up at diner parties and BBQs.
