Michael,

I am only 8 chapters into your book Trend Following and I am hooked. I was unaware of trend following at all until a month or so ago. A good friend asked me if I knew anything about it. I did not but was interested so I bought your book. I am a commercial lender by trade and a partner in a home building company. We have had several good years now. I have never traded much at all for my own account but often given it serious thought. I believe I am at a place in life where I can dedicate serious time to the endeavor. Just tonight, I googled up your website for the first time and have spent the last hour looking it over. I would like very much to start learning your system. My question is this: Should I finish reading your book and others before starting your course? I thank you in advance.

Jeremy R.

You can start any time.

Hello Michael,

I am from India and have been reading your books on Kindle and also came across your website. Though I had been into stock investment for the last 20 years, I was never actively involved in trading. Started doing intraday/positional trading in the last six months. I only trade indices/derivatives. The biggest challenge I face is the mentality of holding onto something even after it goes against my plan. This to some extent helps in positional trading but for intraday or trend trading it becomes difficult to overcome this mentality.

Thanks,
Shiva

Hi,

My biggest problem was and is a lack of patience that leads to impulsive decisions and the only time I’ve been patient is when I’m holding the bag, in denial. However, I recognized my problem and took my money out after significant painful losses.

I stopped trading a few years ago. I focused on advancing my career and enjoying life a lot. I’ve matured and I want to get back into it.

Pete

Hello Michael!

I’m a 22 yr old PNWer interested in building a homestead on my grandparents property over time. I’ve had a curiosity for natural disasters and what happens after the collapse of a society since middle school when I first designed a presentation on “The Big One” focusing on the geological changes and coastal community adjustment period that follows.

Recent political heat has ramped up my mind and I have a lot of learning to do and projects to start and finish to feel prepared and safe on the soon-to-be Russell Farm. Your insight is highly intriguing and the only other mind I’ve heard verbalize my own thoughts eloquently besides Bill Bonner- who I only just yesterday learned of and watched his Fourth and Final Warning to America.

I’m a Covid college flunk out given less than 2 years of in person class opportunities and upset about my time in higher academia. Online learning with zero chance for personal connection along with the dread of a global pandemic at your college town doorstep was enough to make it nearly impossible to finish my education and will take years of community college to put me back on a degree path. I’m not interested in wasting my time in that manner. I am however interested in educating myself through other less biased and more thoroughly researched reports.

If you have any advice for a young woman in my position I would greatly appreciate a reply at your convenience!

Thanks for your time,
Olivia O.

Read. Read a lot. In the footer of my website there is a list of recommended books.
