Jim Rogers and Marc Faber on CNBC

Market's closed, kids, at least in the US.

Everyone over to Bear Mountain Bull's house for iced tea and clips from a CNBC discussion with investors Jim Rogers and Marc Faber. I'll bring the Milano cookies...

We've also got a Bloomberg interview clip with Marc Faber for you. It seems CNBC World and Bloomberg are both revisiting the Asian financial crisis ten years later, and both channels have chosen the Thailand-based Faber as a source of insight into past and present financial and economic conditions.

Plus, Jim Rogers in a recent Bloomberg TV appearance. The discussion centers around water, agricultural commodities, emerging markets, and the rising stature of women worldwide.

Be sure to check out both sets of clips.

Happy Independence Day!

In order to help you do that, we'll take from the best and offer up key insights from interviews with top traders and trading psychologists like Alan Farley, Brett Steenbarger, and Doug Hirschhorn .  Now before we get to their key insights on overcoming trading anxiety and pulling the trigger on your trading ideas, let's remember what Jim Leitner said in his interview: "Learn to love to listen to people and when you hear something interesting, follow up on it.
