Episode notes

The Penguin, the Scientologist and the Lost Oil Well” sounds like a Hollywood movie with characters, chaos and some California dreaming.

Back in JJ’s day it could sometimes seem like a zoo. If you think you knew markets and you think it was all charts and algorithms, guess again. In JJ’s jungle of a world, fortunes were made and lost before your morning coffee got cold. JJ’s has seen the hustlers, the gurus, and guys like the Penguin who were so cheap they’d squeeze a penny until it screamed. The truth is, sometimes the markets weren’t run by logic but rather by pure greed. And if you don’t know who’s really selling, and who’s trying to unload a dry hole, you’ll be just another chump waiting to get fleeced.
