Hi Mike,

‘Oh my god’, you gave me the shivers at the end of this one, brilliant mate.

I remember the aids adverts on tele and being very scared at a young age when I saw those. What a fucked up world, ‘if you let ’em.’

Thank you for the pointers.

Karl

Welcome.

Hi Michael,

I read the two books you recommend at the end of your video (and I watched the video too.)

I have a question.

You demonstrate convincingly that for a large account (or better yet, for a CPA) it is a stable and reliable technique to select a diversified portfolio and manage it with some trend following strategy. You even demonstrate that the nature of the strategy matters less than diversification.

I understand that.

The question is, do you recommend using a trend following strategy for an account of let’s say $10,000. Or $1,000. I.e. for an account size where diversification is not a realistic option.

I didn’t find (so far) an answer to this question in the material I reviewed. Do you have it in some other book or website of yours? I.e. (I assume) some technique on how to select one stock or futures for this account-size and how to select one trend following strategy for it. Or you don’t recommend trend following for smaller accounts?

Thanks.

Of course, super small accounts are trouble. That’s true for any strategy.

Gladys McGarey episode was especially enjoyable for me, as I went to the ARE Clinic in Phoenix before it closed. She exemplifies what she teaches.

Thanks!

Hi Michael.

Been trading for some years, but with little success.

Just listened to you and Steve Burns and hence this email.

After all my years of learning, I’m just missing something. I need to refresh my point of view and become successful again.

You also mentioned about placing your money with certain brokers vs others.

Any thoughts on that subject that you can share would be appreciated.

And yes, we have to be careful of observing what is really going on these days.

I appreciated your podcast.

Thanks,
Martin W.

I have a lot of thoughts across this website, my podcast, my books and my courses. Dive in!

P.S. Your issue is not your broker!
