Book A Meeting

“Kris is one of the best thinkers I've ever met in my entire life.”

Khe Hy

“Kris is a masterful guide at the intersection of finance, markets, and behavioral economics. His interdisciplinary insights are profound and unique and are always communicated with rigor, pragmatism (and a healthy dose of snark). If you're looking to deepen your thinking, look no further than this beacon of clarity.”

Tina Lindstrom

“Kris is a dear friend from my days from SIG. I’ve known him for almost my entire trading career, spanning 2 decades. When I want brutal, objective, intelligent advice, I’m hitting him up. We have this relationship where we know we want the best for each other, any advice we give each other is 💯 genuine, from the heart. I think Kris brings this aspect of his personality to all of the people he touches, even virtually, through the love he gives on Moontower to thousands of anonymous, but curious readers. Kris is super talented, as an options trader, independent thinker, investor… Kris is one of the few people I respect with my entire being, I recommend him without hesitation in any project he’s on. I know how smart he is, and how much heart and honesty he has. This is not an unbiased opinion but one he’s earned from knowing him and being friends for half our lives.”

“The world of finance is fascinating because it's a world of clear rules for an unclear world. When you delve further into trading it's a perfect way to blend mathematics and psychology and understanding of the world into acting such that the world doesn't fleece you. Try to make the incredibly unpredictability of the real world a little bit more tractable. There's nobody who does this better than Kris. It's why he's one of my favourite writers and people to shoot the breeze with, because there's nothing more fun than understanding the world in all its fractal complexity and coming up with models to test it, whether that's pricing an option or discussing the unique weirdness of veterinarians. It's also the answer to the perennial question, why write on the internet, and the answer is to meet more Kris-es.”

“Kris has been an invaluable friend and supporter on my journey. His world of trading and bets has helped me gain a better understanding of what I was selling (prestige, short-term income and status I didn't want) when I quit my job and what I was buying (time and space to think and experiment, resilience, and invisible future options on my own creative work). His quote "if you're making money every day you are leaving money on the table" is still something I think about all the time. On top of supporting and rooting for me, I am consistently inspired by his own dedication to his curiosity and how he is willing to follow it down to the depths of advanced math and statistics.”

Kris is a remarkable and down to earth individual, who has always provided help/guidance at my request. He genuinely takes interest in helping out and is not too shy to back out, when he thinks he can’t offer much advice (that rarely happens). This quality is further accentuated, given that he has had a successful career as an options trader. He has generously shared his experience/knowledge - be it through his writings on Moontower blog or in-person discussions. His ability to view life from a meta perspective results in insights that are both profound and transformative. One particular instance that stands out in my memory was when we were discussing a brain teaser style question(typical for trading interviews). My first attempt was incorrect and he explained how the interviewer's follow-up question should provide me clues on whether I'm moving in right direction or not - irrespective of the question. I had an aha moment! I personally know several traders who cite his writings from Moontower blog, and I am immensely grateful for his positive influence on the overall trading community. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
