“Why Greece’s Lenders Need to Suffer”

Posted on by Michael Covel

A recent interchange with [prominent trader appearing on my podcast]:

Name: Read: “Why Greece’s Lenders Need to Suffer”

Covel: Great ending paragraph:

“There is an unsentimental logic to markets. If you make a bad investment, you are supposed to pay the full price — because if you don’t pay the full price, you will keep making bad investments. The only way to get the bond market back to its historic role is to make bondholders feel real fear that they might lose money if they make bad decisions. We need the market to reward bets that are economically wise, instead of those that are politically savvy.”

Wonder if we ever get there….

Name: We will get back there because our government will run out of money like the Greeks’ government. Ours will be painful too.

Trend Following Radio: A Different Perspective

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Michael,

I listened to your podcast about your new trading system and would like to receive further information. Could you please send me the PDF on the system that you mentioned in the podcast?

Another thing on my mind: Keep up your great work! It is very inspirational. Your podcasts are always a highlight that I listen to when traveling to work. The ones regarding trend following are eye-opening and very educational as I am still learning a systematic and sustainable way to build a method to invest and compound my money for the future. But also the interviews you do on related topics give me a new view on a lot of things in life.

Thanks and best regards,
[Name]

Risk Reduction: Trend Following Radio Feedback

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hi,

In podcast 365 you talked a bit about how some fund managers would de-leverage. Does that just mean they stop risking their money? I like the point made that large drawdowns aren’t necessarily a bad thing.

[Name]

It’s not about the cessation of risk, but the reduction of risk.

Hey Micheal, I have recently started as an intern at a financial planning business and they invest in and are great believers of trend following. I am looking to learn as much as possible and have started reading your books and listening to your podcasts and I am really enjoying them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and I hope to keep learning and developing in the future. I was wondering if you could help me get the first 60 episodes of your podcast because they don’t show up on iTunes. Anyway keep up the great work. Hope you hold a conference in Australia in the future.

All episodes.
