Hello Mr. Covel,
Like you, I wasn’t born into royalty; just the son of a car mechanic and a secretary for a welding supply company. But I had a huge run of luck on the right side of a trend (although I didn’t know it at the time) and became financially independent in 2020-2021 in my early 40s.
My journey into trading is too long to describe here, but Jack Schwager and his Market Wizard series got me to believe that I could make it in the markets and introduced me to characters like Larry Hite and Ed Seykota. And Nassim Taleb (as well as other traders) helped me to better structure my thinking on how to make decisions under conditions of uncertainty. And through Hite’s “The Rule” I found you and your Trend Following book.
I just want to say ‘thank you’ for making such an excellent guide to life. Using primarily outcomes to make decisions rather than theory/”knowledge,” and immediately cutting out what is not working while trying to find and perpetuate things that do work has been a very useful philosophy/strategy for my life.
I just listened to one of your podcasts last night with Ed Seykota, and you mentioned Alan Watts. His “The Wisdom of Insecurity” is in my opinion a truly top notch book, very relevant to trading and letting go and “feeling” one’s way through life, following major trends, rather than trying to control everything. For me, Trend Following is the future way of thinking.
So again, just wanted to say ‘thank you.’ Books like yours have greatly enriched my life.
Sincerely,
Brad J.
