Feedback in:

Was in Ashburn [Virginia] for a youth hockey game this morning and one of the Reston [Virginia] players walked out of the locker room with a TrendFollowing.com Little League T-shirt on and I had to do a double take. Thinking, wait I have seen that T-shirt before! LOVE that small world stuff!

Nice!

“David Stockman Everyone Should Hear It”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Really enjoyed your interview with David Stockman. EVERYONE should hear it.

What struck you about David’s episode in particular?

What struck me: an entirely believable and rational explanation for world events that followed the slaughter of WW1. I have not read his book, but have now ordered it and look forward to hearing his take on the causes of that horrible and horribly unnecessary conflagration (WW1). I believe it was bankers that were at the root of it, as I believe they have been at the root of all wars since. A horrible, horrible bunch of psychopaths.

And the method by which bankers wreak their havoc is through fiat money, its issuance and their control of interest rates. They have to keep the world ignorant of this, which they do by control of the media and what is taught at universities (this they achieve by financing university chairs and appointing people that will not teach what is really going on in the world of finance).

Hopefully the major events presently taking place will lead to profound changes. In the meantime we rely on brave and honest people like you and David Stockman to do your profoundly important work of educating the ignorant.

Very best wishes,

Thanks.

Trend Following from Quebec

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Let me just thank you from the bottom of my heart for making all this information available to the public. I’m a fairly young guy from a French speaking weird part of this world called Quebec. Money here is seen very negatively and for a youngster to breakout and reach for trading success is quite unusual. Thanks to you I was able to wrap my arms around trend following at a very young age. Everything I did after reading your books was done in a way to connect more and more with trend following. My entire mind is now being reprogrammed slowly with time and effort. Not only have I read everything available on the subject but I also made it mine by taking time to understand it…I mean understand. It’s been 3 years now and I think it’s time for me to give grace to those who showed a path worth the taking. You, Van Tharp, Ed Seykota, Charles Faulkner, Tom Basso and many others have carved my mind with your writings.

Thank you

Starting Point: Trend Following Suggestions

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hello Michael! Honestly thank you so much for this opportunity, unfortunately I am 21 and do not have enough money to take you up on this offer. I will most definitely get both of your books. Your podcasts usually get me to laugh! You are a true bad ass as well. If you could suggest any books to me (the more the better) that I can also read to start my mastery of being a trader I would appreciate that. Thanks in advance.

Sincerly,

Go: 1, 2, 3, 4.
