Sir, I have just listened to your flagship podcast and Larry Hite podcast no less than five times each today. I just wanted to say thanks. I really appreciate your insight with your podcast and your books but I loved the film the best. I have wanted to send this email for years but I know you are a busy man. I want to keep it short and sweet and don’t want to be a bother so I wanted to say thanks for everything but mostly letting the little people know we all have a chance. Please keep doing what you have been doing for years.

5x each?!
Absolutely I could listen to you and Larry talk all day long. The information you provided in the flagship podcast is just unbelievable. I am an experienced trader of stocks and it’s so hard for me to have conversations with people whether it be at work or my family pertaining to trading and just find your podcast so refreshing. When I told people at work and some of my family I was short TSLA in Feb and Mar they were ready to fight. Lol. Then I got long on the massive bounce it has had the last 2 ish weeks and they just don’t understand how I can be short one day and long a few days later. Ride that trend until it bends. People are clueless on most things.
Thanks
Jarrod P.
Thanks. I shared with Larry.

Mike,
Would you be open to speaking with me? That’s the request. Here’s why I hope you’ll consider: It is not an exaggeration to say your podcast has completely changed the way I think about career and life in general. I’m currently on episode 619, and I started with episode 1 last summer. I’m also on round two of Trend Following. Thank you. Seriously. Now I am about to start as a full-time retail trader after 10 years of “brain-dead-sheepery” in the oil & gas sector (consulting, i-banking, and corporate/operational). I’d love to get your advice and share my insights on what it’s like on the ground for folks starting out. It would be an honor.
Second email after my response for clarification:
Mike, I’m seeking your feedback on my trading strategy and longer-term business idea. No pitch or investment request. It would be invaluable to hear the opinion of someone who’s had such a big influence on me. For your reference: my strategy is classic trend following on shorter time scales (similar to [name]).
Third email after my response for clarification:
Certainly. Strategy Markets: anything with a daily volume greater than 100,000. Risk management: Target 4:1 risk-reward trades. Risk between 0.5% and 1.0% of cash equity per trade, depending on volatility as defined by an average true range. Stop orders are moved up/down with trade as new support/resistance levels are formed. Entry: I filter for daily-chart trends using ascending high and low pivot points, and ascending, stacked moving averages (reverse for shorts). The same filter is repeated on the 1-hour chart. Buy decision is based on a confirmed breakout (3 closing bars) of support or resistance on the 15-min chart. Support/resistance is defined by prior pivots and areas of consolidation on the 1-hour chart. My plan is still technically discretionary while I build my programming skills. But I do use a detailed checklist before entering each trade. Longer-term idea. Scale up the above strategy by raising capital from smaller private investors (people with good jobs, a home, and a 401-K plan). Often these people have investable cash, but not enough to meet the minimums required by traditional hedge funds/private equity. I also think their risk appetite is greater than you would expect. This “person” was me and many of my friends and colleagues for years. At this point, my sole focus is building a trading track record. The “small investor fund” is more of a side project, but something I’m very interested in. I’d be curious if you have heard of something similar? Let me know if more information would be helpful.
My reply was simple: I have ripped short term minute/hourly trading for twenty years. Go trend following. Of course, I appreciate his nice words, but that doesn’t change my stance or temper my reply.

Michael,
Just listened to your latest conversation with Larry Hite. Brilliant stuff.
I read Larry’s book. I used to teach tennis on Long Island and one of my regulars was a man called Pat [name]. Larry thanks Pat in the book for helping him back in the day. I actually lent the book to Pat and he thoroughly enjoyed reminiscing!
Keep up the great work Michael.
Simon S.
Larry is great.

Hi Michael, I’ve finally gotten ear pods and Spotify together, and listening to your podcasts. While out fencing. I love it. I just heard the podcast with Zuckerman, where he couldn’t believe people were dying from the vaccine. I thought unkindly of him. I wonder if he has changed his tune now that the trial results are out from Pfizer.
Keep up the good work.
Matt Z.
Thanks. A very strange two years.
