V.17:9 (410-416): Interview: Moe Ansari Of Compak Trading by Bruce Faber

Following The Road Map Of The Market - Moe Ansari Of Compak Trading

Discipline and determination are key to succeeding as a trader, or anything else, for that matter. Moe Ansari of Compak Trading started off his college years as an architecture major before he discovered his true calling in the financial markets, only to be told he couldn’t make it as a broker. He not only proved that prediction wrong, he proved it very wrong. Despite being told that his accent was too thick for him to be understood clearly, he went on to become a radio personality with a nationally syndicated weekend program covering the markets as well as doing daily market wrapups. Along the way, Ansari also started to conduct workshops around the country, teaching technical analysis and, as he observes, giving the participants “the proper tools” and guiding them toward their own system and methodology, with an emphasis on keeping their money with proper money management techniques. STOCKS & COM-MODITIES Staff Writer Bruce Faber interviewed Ansari via telephone on June 22 and June 28, 1999, asking him about exit strategies, what we need to succeed in today’s markets and why in his opinion investors will drift toward commodities.
