Morning Michael,

Hope all is well your side.

We are well and truly on the trend following path with our new hedge fund launching last week. We have had calls with Mulvaney Capital and others to potentially invest and use their product alongside our own. Your book Trend Following has truly helped us, thank you.

Myself and a colleague will be in the US in May next year (in NYC), would be great to meet you if you are potentially in that area at the time.

Regards
E. B.

Sounds good!

Michael,

I understand equating your investing (trading) style to the VC guys or entrepreneurs, but I’m not catching the casino connection. Can you help me understand that please, so I can learn?

On average, wouldn’t the casino win more and lose less? Small consistent winnings that pay for the occasional big loss? Trend following would be a majority small losses with a minority big winners which exceed the losses, right?

Loved the “investing implies…” description, btw.

Casino comp:

— Odds thinking.
— Mathematical expectation.
— Having an edge to bet on.

Also read my book Trend Following.

Hi Michael. I’ve been a financial advisor for 27 years who has recently ‘discovered’ trend following and seen the light. I’m incorporating it into all client portfolios at various levels. [Name] at DUNN sent me your book which I am devouring currently and, also, enjoying past episodes of your podcast. 4 down, 1000+ to go! Please send me the steps and video you offer at the end of each of your podcasts. Thank you and keep up the outstanding educational work!

Michael M.

Michael,

My greatest challenge before reading Trend Following was getting lost in my never ending “macro” postulations that only led to frustration and to overly fixating on a few markets. Now I’m convinced I need to trade a non-discretionary system. I want to learn how to develop one and execute on it with discipline.

Much appreciated,
Evan

Macro predictions don’t work. You are wise now!
