Learning to trade can be very demanding and at times lonely.
Learning from others that have already walked the same path can make the learning experience so much more enjoyable and also speed up your learning curve.
Creating trading podcasts have become all the rage in recent times and whilst there are a lot that will simply waste your time, there are some that will give you inspiration and real help.
In this post we look at the 7 best podcasts to help you learn to trade the stock and Forex markets.
