“There was a job for an analyst position at SAFian Investment Research in White Plains, New York. That's way back when. It certainly is. Ken Saffian and his former partner, Ken Smilin, were top analysts on the street in the 70s. And he ran a boutique investment shop. I applied to him. I sent a resume, a cover letter, and a copy of my thesis paper”

“You are on the sell side for over twenty years, most of what I know about your work is that you were a technician, a chart reader. Was that always your career? Did you start out as a technician or how did you eventually evolve to that? I finished my MBA at Fordham University in 1990. Now called the Gabeli School, is that right? And like anybody else who probably graduated either with an undergraduate degree in the mid-80s or an MBA in the early 90s, you probably wanted to work on Wall Street. I found it difficult going. I walked around my resume back then and there was very little security in the building. So you were able to go in and deliver your resume. Pre-9-11, you walk in wherever you wanted. It was a great time. I got to meet the Sanford Bernstein just by doing that, just happenstance. And there was an ad in the paper, like guys of our age used to do. We used to look at the New York Times on Sundays. What's in the classified? Correct.”

“My special guest today is John Roque. He is a technician, extraordinaire, and spent the first 21 years of his career as a south side analyst before being recruited to the buy side by George Soros and his hedge fund. He spent five years at Lehman Brothers, about a decade at the Texas Bleichroder, a few years at WJB Capitol before he ended up with Soros. He is now, let's call it, managing director and chief market strategist at a Soros Seated Hedge Fund called Keys Square Capital Management. John Roque, welcome to Bloomberg. Thanks, Barry. Pleasure to be here. So you and I know each other for some time. I was always a fan of getting your research. Let's talk a little bit about what you do and how you do it.”

“But has constantly improved his craft and constantly raised his own skill level and reputation within the industry and is really insightful and really knowledgeable about just about everything related to technical analysis. If you are at all interested in charts and investing and trading, if you want to know how some of the sausage is made on the technical side, you can't do much better than John Roque. So with no further ado, my conversation with John Roque.”

“Week on the podcast, I have someone I've actually followed his work for many, many years. His name is John Roque, and he is a technician, extraordinaire. He is one of those technical folks that other technicians talk about in hushed and reverent tones. You will find him to be straightforward, humble, blunt in how he describes what he does. If you're looking for somebody who has worked for George Soros and worked for other storied shops to be arrogant and suffer from a big head, this is not the guy that exhibits any of that. He is someone who not only has worked at places like Lehman Brothers and Soros funds management.”
