Technical Analysis legend Louise Yamada was featured on TheStreet’s Alpha Rising Series late last month when she was interviewed by financial journalist Tracy Byrnes. 

“I … met one of my idols,” wrote Byrnes, who said that Yamada’s work had inspired her for decades. “So finally meeting her, all these years later, was a gift. And not just because I got to listen – in person — to her astute market predictions. But because I realized that she too was a young single mother when she embarked on her career. (I was a single mom with three little ones when I started my journalistic journey.)”

“That just makes me appreciate her momentous climb even more.”

The Alpha Rising interviews on TheStreet.com are a series of talks featuring women on Wall Street sharing their stories. Watch Louise Yamada’s full interview here: Louise Yamada On the Current Market Environment and Her Climb to the Top.
