I don’t do ‘investing’, I never have…it makes no sense to me. I have no intention of putting my money to work based on someone else’s opinion. But I’ve never found a satisfactory alternative…perhaps trend following can do that?

I feel a little late to the game but I am a believer in that we are all lead to water, the timing of which we tend to drink it, is when we get the fill we need.

I purchased your book about 3 years ago and just now that I am 40 years old and have a baby that I am really studying this theory of Trend Following.

I am just an ordinary individual, but I have a passion for numbers. I graduated from a small college with a BA in Finance and am familiar with trading, but it is now that I truly want to dive into this and better myself and make educated decisions trading for my family to have a better life.

I hope you do read this email. One day maybe I will be an example in one of your books.

Just keep going. Anyone can do it. The story of the TurtleTraders.

I am a banker based in NYC. I have been meaning to reach out to thank you for the info in Trend Following. I purchased the book and having finished it have been able to apply some good nuggets from it. I have been looking for ways to beef up my PA without too much labor and many of your insights helped. I basically trade indexes and individual stocks with futures and options. I like FX but hate rates, don’t want to bring sand to the beach and TED spreads just don’t do it for me. The best thing about your book is that stylistically it suits my personality. I love leverage, love big wins, agnostic to tiny losses, overall pretty agnostic even to big draw downs (a lot of disposable income helps). Love pairs, long vol / long gamma setups to catch trends. More importantly, I hate mean reversion, net selling of premium, (only really do it to offset theta or collapsing vol). I have been able to configure my positions around your principals. I am also not a big chart guy so few parameters for entries and exits help greatly. So far, things are going great! At some point I would like to transition to trading my PA full time though I am quite a ways out but would like to learn how to put together a roadmap. Any and all advice or resources you can point me to would be greatly appreciated.John

A good place to jump in.

Finding a strategy and or mentor that fits my goals, given my time horizons and risk tolerance. age 70. Little time, Low risk.

I have gotten very lucky with buy and hold the past couple of years, (BTC, ETH), but feel I could do much better with some swing or trend strategies.

I was very happy to find you on Google Podcast today. Your 1,000th episode and Jerry Parker. I have not heard of, or looked closely at trend following before this.

Jerry is always a great listen.

Just responding back as per some of your podcasts and also to say hey thanks for these podcast emails as you are slowly but, surely penetrating my thick head. I’ve read chapter 4 I can’t tell you how many times and the episode where you now read it is much appreciated. Please send the the video you mention and I’ll watch it until it gets through. Turns out I need to have full re-education after drinking too much Kool-Aid.

Best Regards,

David Cerf
