Until now, investors could invest into publicly traded companies that are listed on the exchanges (NY Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, etc.), with all information re: these companies being made available to the public via quarterly earnings announcements and audited financial reports.  But, the vast majority of companies are private, so investing in them was much more difficult, as was digging thru financial information of them.  The jobs Act of 2012 made many of these companies eligible for public investing but gathering and analyzing the financial info on the companies remained a daunting task.  This allows the small investor to participate in these Venture Capital and Private Equity opportunities.  KingsCrowd provides the information and analytics to evaluate these companies.  We hope  you enjoy this interview.

"Sell in May and Go Away" - We've all heard it, but does it work?  Is it a long term strategy, or has it worked better or worse over the past 10 years?  How has it worked on the NASDAQ 100? Has the market history shown a way to enhance the return of this strategy? What did the "January Barometer" indicate about the returns for 2021? What is "December Low Indicator" and has it been consistent?  What are the top performing  NASDAQ months? The STA has long been a standard of statistics and in-depth analysis (an understatement) of data galore on the patterns of the U.S. Stock Market, and a sure way to get lost in the sea of data for a compelling dive into applicable historical patterns.  And for the past few years STA has partnered with the Probabilities Fund to apply much of this data to real live trading.  This is an episode you don't want to miss.  Jeff is the son of the founding publisher of what is now the 54th Edition, and they just keep getting better.  Hope you enjoy it
