Benzinga Boot Camp Event Spotlight: Ms. Izzy

The hyper popular trader and educator known by her followers only as 'Ms. Izzy,' is the founder of MsIzzyTrades. She developed a passion for the stock market, specifically investing in technology, in college where she used the majority of her free time trading and researching the market.

Izzy is focused on the psychology of trading and believes “the right mindset, makes money." She has come to love educating others and sharing her experience in the markets, specifically in the financial Twitter community where she can be followed @_ms_izzy.

Ms. Izzy was featured on Benzinga's Boot Camp Event, which took place live via YouTube on April 10. She told Benzinga she started as a seasonal trader, but she likes to trade around earnings and focuses on technical trading now.

Izzy said every sector has its time to shine and right now it's technology.

She likes large-cap technology stocks heading into earnings. Izzy was recently trading Facebook Inc FB, but she is starting to scale out.

Izzy thinks Amazon.com Inc AMZN still has room to run in the technology trade.

Izzy believes after tech, the next sector to shine will be the cannabis sector. She likes Canopy Growth Corporation CGC and Aphria Inc. APHA in particular and has them on her watchlist as she waits to see some rotation back to the cannabis sector. 

She told Benzinga that she likes to trade some of the Chinese financial technology names, noting that UP Fintech Holding Ltd TIGR was one of her biggest swing plays so far this year.
