Careers

The Trade Talks is a “virtual first” workplace. Most Talks get the majority of their work done remotely. Our physical office spaces (in Alexandria, Denver, Sydney, and the Gold Coast) are collaboration hubs, providing a purposeful approach to office work rather than antiquated requirement that you show up to an office every day. At Trade Talks, we believe people should have the freedom to follow their passion in roles they love. We work hard to understand the needs of our employees and deliver for them. We are confident that this, in turn, makes a great business. Take care of your employees, and they will take care of your customers, who in turn take care of shareholders. We think every company should do the same.

Our Foolish History

The Trade Talks was founded in 1993 by brothers Tom and David Gardner as a traditional print newsletter in a backyard shed in Alexandria, Virginia. In 1994, an April Fool’s joke designed to teach an investing lesson put The Trade Talks on the map. Since those humble beginnings, Tom and David, and the community of Fools they’ve gathered, have been leading the charge for individual investors everywhere.
