Tom has written a daily market note for a select group of hedge fund managers for years and now has offered it for all investors with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hedgefundtelemetry.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hedge Fund Telemetry<\/a><\/strong>. His long term focus on sentiment indicators borders on the obsessive. Our growing team at Hedge Fund Telemetry is comprised of current and former buy and sell side individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Hedge Fund Telemetry was first conceived with inspiration from Tom\u2019s lifelong passion following Formula 1 racing. In the early 90\u2019s, Formula 1 teams started to equip cars with sensors on every imaginable component and data was relayed wirelessly through telemetry to the pits to analyze and then instructions from the pits were relayed back to the driver so he could make changes to find the optimal balance for the car. It has always been the same way for Tom, as a senior trader at his hedge fund, he would get in early, collect data from many sources, analyze that data, and then communicate information out to his firm so his team could properly balance the firm\u2019s portfolio. It\u2019s now our goal to relay that same type of information so that one can also gain that edge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TommyThornton\" data-size=\"large\" data-show-count=\"false\">Follow @TommyThornton<\/a><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Check this out and find out more at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/\">http:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/mkt\/?src=tdi1&amp;url=%2Fen%2Findex.php%3Ff%3D1338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-54327\" src=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/InteractiveBrokers_logo1-e1607262448146.jpg\" alt=\"Interactive Brokers - Why IB?\" width=\"393\" height=\"87\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/andrewhorowitz\" data-size=\"large\" data-show-count=\"false\">Follow @andrewhorowitz<\/a><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Looking for style diversification?<\/strong> More information on the TDI Managed Growth Strategy &#8211; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/tdi-strategy\/\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Stocks mentioned in this episode: (AAPL), (USO), (MSFT), (GLD), (SLV), (EWY)<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_4935\"><a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tdi_podcast\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/podcasts\/tdi_episode967.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('4935','http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tdi_podcast\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/podcasts\/tdi_episode967.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/powerpress\/TDI_PlayPodcast-679.png\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tdi_podcast\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/podcasts\/tdi_episode967.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/?powerpress_pinw=56967-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/tdi_podcast\/www.thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/podcasts\/tdi_episode967.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"tdi_episode967.mp3\">Download<\/a> (Duration: 1:10:54 &#8212; 65.2MB)<\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5vtvEVDPUi4221imwhXyXt\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_spotify\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on Spotify\" rel=\"nofollow\">Spotify<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/podcasts\/Markets-and-Investing\/The-Disciplined-Investor-p414586\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_tunein\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe on TuneIn\" rel=\"nofollow\">TuneIn<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/thedisciplinedinvestor.com\/blog\/subscribe-to-podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_more\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More\" rel=\"nofollow\">More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sitting on hands &#8211; maybe a good idea right now.
