023 - Tom Basso - The Calm Within the Chaos

Tom Basso, famously coined 'Mr. Serenity' in Jack Schwager's "New Market Wizards" book, joins us for an enlightening and entertaining discussion. On a particularly turbulent day in the market, with the VIX making one of its largest ever moves, Tom shares his calm and collected approach to trading.


Tom’s trading approach is like a finely tuned orchestra, using seven different strategies across multiple markets and timeframes. He doesn’t let any single position dominate his portfolio. Instead, he balances everything out, making sure he's ready for whatever the market throws at him. Whether it's ETFs or futures, Tom adapts his diversified strategies to fit the market and the investor.


Tom shares some great stories and wisdom from his trading journey. From his interactions with Jack Schwager to Van Tharp, he emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and staying balanced. His philosophy is all about being cool, calm, and collected—just like him.


Tom’s all-weather trading approach is a blend of multiple strategies and extensive diversification. He’s always ready for anything the market can throw at him. His ability to adapt and stay serene in the face of market volatility is a lesson for traders of all levels.
