Wall Street Inside with a Trader Walking History Tour

What sets my walking tour apart is my unique blend of personal experience, in-depth knowledge, and passion for the financial world. As the child of a floor broker who spent 43 years at the NYSE, I have an insider's perspective on the trading floor. After 250 hours of rigorous training as a proprietary day trader, I possess a deep understanding of trading vs. investing - let's talk golden crosses and Fibonacci's! As a native New Yorker, I bring an authentic and personal touch to the city's rich financial and cultural histories. And, most importantly, I absolutely love talking stocks and sharing my passion for trading with others—whether you're a seasoned investor or just curious, you’ll experience the markets through the eyes of someone who’s been immersed in them for a lifetime.
