Hey Mike,

I guess that’s the problem. I started with Stan Weinstein’s stage analysis and then mixed it with Mark Minervini. But mixing long-term with short-term is crazy. My biggest problem is the position sizing. If it’s too small I feel like it’s waste of time, if it’s too big it’s driving me crazy.

I have my own company and three kids. I really love doing trading, but sometimes I just don’t have time to spend. I guess a weekly approach would be right for me. I just started to read things about Jerry Parker and Bill Dunn. It seems like this type of trend following is perfect for me. But I want to learn the basics first.

Which book of yours would you say is the best to start?

My Trend Following book 5th edition is a good start. Also my courses.

Hello Michael.

I’ve always been fascinated with the world of trading but couldn’t say I’m a trader (yet), even though I’ve dabbled with it.

I’m more of an investor who has really become intrigued with this trend-following strategy and who knows deep inside that trading (though hard) didn’t need to be this complicated and that investing in funds simply doesn’t cut it.

I want a simpler approach to my trading learning path and one that works, with due effort.

Thank you so much for what you do. Greetings from Portugal!

Pedro

Hello Michael,

I stared trading about 10+ years ago, lost some $ and decided to pair back to just Apple and invest over long term. I have done really well with Apple and gave up on trading until recently, but now I heard about you from a Steve Burns webinar and am excited to study this time around and become more knowledgeable and a better trader before trying my hand again. I am particularly interested in your system, which is why I contacted you!

Thanks,
Peter B.

Hi Michael,

My biggest challenge is unable to identify trends and the trend strength consistently.

What strategy needs to do that? And what time frame are you trying to do this on?

Hi Michael,

Great interview with Nolan Bushnell. On the topic of education for today’s kids, ponder the question below, and read Supernova Era. 2003 publication, so you may already have read it. Fascinating reading Chinese Science Fiction (soon to be a movie I think). Such a different perspective versus the western and russian authors we knew from our youth.

What if humanity needs to pack 10 years of learning into 10 months for the world’s children, or humanity dies. Can it be done?

Cheers,
Wes

Thanks!
