About
Brad Koteshwar
It was the summer of 1987. A young man—having just graduated from business school with an eagerness to learn to trade—walked into a commodities brokerage house. And somehow, he snagged an interview with the man in charge.
During the interview, the young man was asked what the profit would be if the price of treasury bonds went from 90 1/32nd to 90 30/32nd. Without getting into the technicalities of T-bonds, the young man was handed a piece of paper and a pencil, but he simply shook his head and answered after a few seconds of mental arithmetic: “$906.25.”
The interviewer hired him on the spot, telling him: “You are meant to be in this business.” Let’s just say the actual words the interviewer chose were far more colorful!
This mental math ability landed Brad Koteshwar his first job—trading US treasury bonds and foreign currency futures. And within weeks, he was running several client accounts.
“I hate stocks. Stocks are bad. There are no good stocks. Even the so-called best stocks are bad. Stocks are good only when they make you money.“

A Life-Changing Event Heralded a New Dawn
On October 19, 1987, just two months after Brad had started trading T-bonds and currency futures, his world changed forever. The Black Monday crash of 1987 left several of his peers, colleagues and clients caught on the wrong side of the market. While the currency accounts that were on the right side of the move made a large profit, most of his accounts positioned in T-bond futures got caught on the wrong side of a limit move before they could liquidate. Brad got the message loud and clear: nothing in the markets happens as it is supposed to! The unending journey of unlearning everything he’d picked up during eighteen years of formal education began.
Brad spent another two years trading futures before switching to stocks in 1990. When Brad began trading stocks, he realized that stock speculation is the ultimate long-game chess match. It’s quiet, methodical, intuitive—a sensibility as much as a skill. It’s a practice that must be honed and developed. He realized that success in stocks is so simple yet so hard because human beings make it harder than it needs to be. And he’s been learning to speculate in stocks ever since.
Brad says: “The learning never ends. No matter how many years it takes, you can never be the expert. The stock is always the expert.”
Over the years, Brad Koteshwar has written several books about the stock market including, The Perfect Speculator, The Perfect Stock, The Perfect Fool, and others as part of “The Perfect” series.
The Perfect Speculator Stock Trading Course
In 2024, Brad Koteshwar launched The Perfect Speculator Course—a 10-week, step-by-step masterclass on how to approach the stock market.
Everybody has the same set of trending stocks on their watchlist. It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking at a new 52-highs list or breakout stocks. Some call them momentum stocks. Others call them rocket stocks. All that matters is that there’s a clearly observable trend to interpret—upon which you can take action.
In other words, you observe that a particular move is happening and act or trade using sound principles. Foremost among those principles is, “First, Do No Harm”— meaning you enter with an experimental small buy into that stock.
From then on, it’s a process of move and countermove; action and reaction between you and the stock—like a chess match. Once you make your initial move, you wait for the stock’s reaction. And you use that information to inform your next move. And so on.
To make informed moves,
you’ll need to ask a series of questions, including:
- How do you navigate the actual position placements?
- Where and when do you buy?
- How much do you buy?
- How do you place proper stops that don’t get caught and prevent losses?
- How do you build your own stock watchlist?
- What is a stock watchlist?
- Which stocks should be on your watchlist?
All of these steps are explained in a remarkably simple ten-minute-per-day, six-day-per-week course that takes just 10 weeks to complete.
The Path to Discipline, Commitment, and Success
Trading isn’t real life; it requires unwavering discipline and commitment —even when it becomes tedious. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.
While people in the real world are always looking for bargains, traders are looking for stocks that are becoming more expensive. That’s a tricky change of mindset to develop, and it’s why the best traders are self-taught! With the help of an experienced trader such as Brad Koteshwar, you can develop the judgment needed to succeed.
Inspired by Brad’s school-of-hard-knocks phase in the late 80s, this kind of real-world case study goes beyond classroom instruction and well beyond the offerings of other stock market courses. Brad has seen that much of the stock market advice doled out online really isn’t useful. X (formerly Twitter), online message boards, Yahoo chats, Facebook groups, and other kinds of social media don’t impart the patterns and mindset necessary for success.
Comprised of practical, usable, and easy-to-follow steps, the course focuses on one key goal: Making the right decisions at the right time.
The Man Behind The Perfect Speculator Course
Brad Koteshwar stays away from social media when it comes to dealing with stocks. He believes that the journey through the stock market is a quiet and lonely one that should be undertaken seriously and in silence.
He advises beginners to avoid discussing stocks with other human beings.
“If you must talk about stocks to someone,” he says, “talk to your dog; talk to yourself in the mirror. This way, no outside voices will affect your conviction. You only listen to your stocks—and nothing else —because a stock is always right. We humans are often wrong.”
“This approach works for me because I have managed to make the complex world of stock trading into a routine of specific daily steps. It may not work for some. Everyone has to develop their own set of rules and methods.”
Among the hardest skills to develop is the ability to stay even-keeled through the wins and losses. It is easy to get high on a win and equally easy to get down after a loss. If you can find a way to keep a lid on your emotions through the ups and downs, you can make better decisions in the long run.
There is an enormous difference between identifying a stock that is trending upwards and actually placing a trade. In an era of snap judgments and decisions, the challenge to hold the right stock at the right time—for the perfect amount of time—is a challenge too far for some.
“Listening is a useful skill. Listening to stocks is the rarest of abilities.”
Brad says: “Don’t let the wish become the Father of the thought.” If you pin all your hopes on what you wish for, you may become blind to what’s happening right in front of you. That’s an ethos that runs right through
