“Your Bankman monologue was one of your best…”

Feedback in:

Michael,

Nice interview with Jim Cullen. Some great stories. Well done. Listening to the Basso book. Outstanding. It’s unbelievable listening to the 2012 interview, almost like it’s yesterday given all that has happened. Carry on! If you ever issue an NFT, I’ll buy it. Your bankman monologue was one of your best! Classic.

William P.

Thanks!

“Your flavor of trend following can be for all markets and for all ages…”

Feedback in:

Hi Michael, I really appreciated your presentation. Of course, I am a regular, but not long time, podcast listener, so I was familiar with many of the concepts. (Larry Hite is just so much fun. What a life that guy has lived. So much wisdom.) What I found interesting is that your flavor of trend following can be for all markets and for all ages, even an old dog like me, as I thought it would be a lot more work (and risk, i.e. futures) than you related in your presentation. I was intrigued to learn of your weekly bars system. I have asked Santa Clause for a copy of one of your books, so I am trying to be good, at least until after Christmas. I am a little different in that I am a disciple of trend following, after being introduced to similar concepts via Meb Faber, and his podcast. However, he seems to have moved on from that work, and I replaced his podcast with yours. I used his simple methods, and 30 years of work, to grow my 401K to the point (and age) that I was able to “qualify” to be a client of a local certified financial advisor who also employs very sophisticated trend following methods, that I could never do myself. I have been most pleased with his results to date. I’ve had the largest percentage gains and the smallest percentage volatility in my life. And he has my back, to see that my family is taken care of in case I make a “hasty exit” like my sister did recently. However, I am a market junkie and still “manage” a small portfolio as a hobby, to keep me sharp and in-the-know. I read some newsletters, but most of it is in the trend following Muscular Portfolio’s as outlined in Brian Livingston’s book, again, introduced to me through Meb Faber. However, Livingston’s always-in-the-market approach has me questioning it a bit. That is why I am anxious to read your book(s), and see where my crooked little path takes me. Thank you again for your awesome work, honesty, and generosity. I hope your marketing effort bears much fruit. It certainly was well done.

Happy Holidays,
John A.

“I have x amount of money to put to work today, what should I invest…”

Feedback in:

Hi,

In response to your question, “what is your biggest challenge faced with my trading,” I would say it is to independently generate trading ideas. E.G. I have x amount of money to put to work today, what should I invest it in or what should I trade? Oil stocks? Pharma? Go long/go short? Do nothing and just sit in cash and wait?

I enjoy your podcast.

Regards,
Chris

“I became a member of Ed Seykota’s trading tribe…”

Feedback in:

Dear Michael, in the year 2011, I came to know about trend following through your articles. After that, my perspective in trading changed a lot and I became a member of Ed Seykota’s trading tribe. Now my losing percentage is very low and I’m struggling a little bit with booking profit. Sure I’ll be back on track for exit with profit. Thanks for your tremendous support for trend following and it is an eye-opener for me personally.

Regards,
Anand N.
