Have his money and would be far more confident on the tele. this is silly already, get a life, please!
I heard him speak for the first time at the NYC TRADERS EXPO a few months ago I was a bit shocked at his "lack of prof speaking skills" and attire , but then I realized A: he might have a slight speech problem B: He is a multi- millionaire and helped make some individuals millionaires too therefore I decided to let his deeds and company speak for him and not judge him by looks alone
If I had the cash, I would be 100 times more confident. He came off as a bad car salesman. But maybe money does not mean anything to him anymore. Most rich ppl are not happy after all. To me it's funny that the timing of Schonfeld going on CNBC is so off key. Especially from what I heard about their recent problems.
Not defending Mesh, I don't know the man, but I trade stocks without knowing the names all the time. Why would I care what the name is? trade well.
I think it's almost vital to know the company name and their sector in order to hold out for the best moves and to get out before a major move in the opposite direction. I know how his group trades since that how I was trained but I found it very helpful to see a little fundamentals behind the stock. It also helps you advance your trading from 10 cent scalps to point moves.
