I’m currently swing trading, not day trading. My biggest challenge is determining the optimum ratio of Options to long positions, in my portfolio – and whether to day trade or not. I’m keenly interested in learning to day trade.

Thanks in advance,

John P.

This is a bad plan. Get ready to lose more money.

My guest today is Christopher Chabris, a cognitive psychologist and a well-known researcher in the fields of psychology and human cognition. He is most famous for his work on the “invisible gorilla” experiment, which he conducted during his graduate studies at Harvard University along with Daniel Simons. This experiment demonstrated the phenomenon of “inattentional blindness,” where people fail to notice unexpected objects or events if their attention is focused on a different task.

The topic is his co-authored book Nobody’s Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do about It.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Cognitive biases and their impact on perception and deception
• Stepping back from heated debates
• Scams, frauds, and deceptions
• Selective data analysis and confirmation bias
• Vaccines and politics
• Thinking critically and seeking truth in divisive topics
• Examining COVID, gender, and Trump through a framework
• Information curation

Good evening,

I have just become aware of this system, you, the Turtle history. I was passing time in a DR office this past week and I read an article about one of the original Turtle Traders arrested. There was a link to the 2 men that started the Turtle program and the 23 students. I am an active stock investor, almost exclusively in the gold, gold mining and resource stocks. I am very interested in this strategy, the Turtle system, and intend to learn as much as possible, put myself to the 2 week test, and start trading later this summer.

Thanks,
Steve B.

One TurtleTrader was a moron, a loser. The other TurtleTraders, the teachers, a lot of legends there. Read all links below.

你好，

我是来自中国山东淄博的一个普通交易者，由于没有系统学习的缘故，自己的交易一直处于亏损状态，请问有没有在中国的培训？或者说中国的交易者如何参加培训，谢谢！

Some of my books are in Chinese, but my courses are only in English at this time.

Hi Mr. Covel,

Yesterday afternoon, I went to the annual super-boring childs party at the school. I was in the middle of an intrascendental and shallow conversation with my daughter friend’s father when I asked out of the box and end up talking about investments, one of my favourite topics. Unfortunately, contrary to what’s normal in US, here in Spain there is no frequent to be able to talk about finance as majority of people have no fucking idea on how money works, as finance is weirdly kind of taboo. The thing is that this guy told me about your Trend Following book (that I purchased as soon as I got home) and this morning when I went out to my holly Sunday run I listen to your podcast (1187). Near the end, you invite the audience to email you in order to get started quickly (It will take some time until I read your book as I’m a slow reader) so here I am boring you with my life.

Have a great day!

Carlos R.

Nice share. Thanks! Link sent.
