“Your podcast episodes have been one part of the process…”

Feedback in:

I just finished listening to every episode of your podcast. Finally caught up with where you are now. Started probably 1.5 to 2 years ago at episode 1. That’s at minimum 1200 hours of listening. 72,000 minutes. 4.3 million seconds of my life. Worth every second. Very well done. Totally timeless. I listened mostly while working out. Sometimes while driving my kid to baseball or soccer.

Favorite episodes definitely include Larry Hite, Steve Burns, Tom Basso. Among the first 50, I really enjoyed Jim Rohrbach and Mike Shell. I also loved the various psychology-based episodes, particularly the sports psychologists you’ve had on. I’ll listen for as long as you keep going.

My main takeaway is that trend following is simple, and runs contrary to crystal ball prediction thinking. And it simply works.

I’ve messaged you a few times before. I’m the guy who worked at CNN. Was there the last 7 years, through all the bullshit. I recently left, unfortunately, only to run to yet another “the man” asshole. But I am much, much closer to freedom and independence than I’ve ever been. I’ll message you again when I finally do tell them all to fuck off. I know you won’t agree with that to some extent. I can hear you telling me to just do it. I have 6 kids. I know that doesn’t matter and I know it’s just an excuse. I can still hear you telling me to just do it. I’m really close and I will. I am really close and this process over the last probably three years is me doing it. And your podcast episodes have been one part of the process, one part of the longer term plan of getting me to that place of freedom and independence from the system.

5 stars on Spotify. Thank you.

Joshua C.

Thx!

“Does turtle trading still work today…”

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

My most significant challenges in trading were sticking to the rules and changing systems. Does turtle trading still work today? I have seen people backtesting the system. The results they showed could have been more motivating. Why is that?

Regards,
Karl W.

I teach comprehensive trend following. Turtle trading is a form of trend following. Trend following is arguably the best strategy available. Period. Read:

Most critics of the turtles have no idea what trend following is or they perform some “test” on a static portfolio for 30 years–bad test.

“My training is in Japanese candlestick signals…”

Feedback in:

For me the biggest issue [on trading] is getting out too early. My training is in Japanese candlestick signals, and I will see a bearish engulfing or dark cloud cover for example and exit upon confirmation. Then the next thing that happens is it reverses and I miss out on the gains. The latest example is with NVDA. I got out when I was up just over 20%, but then watched as it kept going. I purchased the Trend Following book, so I am going through that now.

The best thing I can get you to do is forget you ever heard of candlesticks. They are not valid.

“You gave me the shivers at the end of this one…”

Feedback in:

Hi Mike,

‘Oh my god’, you gave me the shivers at the end of this one, brilliant mate.

I remember the aids adverts on tele and being very scared at a young age when I saw those. What a fucked up world, ‘if you let ’em.’

Thank you for the pointers.

Karl
