Jim Paul

Jim Paul was a successful commodities trader who lost over a million dollars in a series of poor investment decisions.

Born in Kentucky, he worked from a young age to pay for his Catholic school education.

Paul attended the University of Kentucky and later earned an MBA from Xavier University.

He climbed the ranks in the financial industry, eventually becoming a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's Board of Governors.

After his significant losses, Paul studied the psychology of investing and losing money, leading to the insights shared in his book.

His personal experiences and subsequent analysis form the foundation of his teachings on risk management and emotional control in trading.
