Tessa Dao

Producer, Co-Host

I’ve been a long-time listener of Chat With Traders since our former host, Aaron Fifield, founded the podcast in 2015. The show has been my go-to source for inspiration, a well of wisdom I’ve returned to again and again as I’ve navigated my own trading path. I’m humbled and thrilled to step into the role of co-host and producer, partnering with my talented co-host, Ian Cox. We’re not just turning the page to a new chapter, we’re throwing the whole book open. I have no idea what the future holds, but I know it’s going to be amazing.

Cheers to your learning, growing, and a wildly successful trading journey!

Host

My first market experience was in Commodities in late 1990 as a slick talking, cold calling broker persuaded my ignorant self to bet on oil skyrocketing due to the expected war with Iraq. A seemingly no loose trade turned into disaster as traders quickly sold oil when the war started in 1991.  After my account was wiped out, I spent the next 4 years saving up and studying everything I could on stocks and opened a stock brokerage account in 1995. A raging bull market, followed by the Dot com crash was a riveting educational experience in psychology and the causes of wild fluctuations in financial markets. I have been a full-time trader for 27 years and I’m looking forward to sharing and learning from fellow traders!
