No, it’s patriots like US Navy SEAL Jason Redman whom traders most admire, On the Money has learned.
Redman bravely conducted more than 40 life-or-death missions.
The intrepid SEAL was critically wounded in Iraq in 2007 and survived to tell his story in his book, “The Trident.”
“This author has never appeared on ‘60 Minutes,’ and no movies have been made about him yet,” said Jim Toes
, who is chief executive of the Security Traders Association of trading professionals centered in New York, which recently hosted Redman.
Toes can’t say enough good stuff about Redman.
“In his book, Jason shares his never-quit story, which we all should try to incorporate into our lives. But it is his honesty which resonates with all who meet him and have the privilege to be in his company,” Toes said.
