In the past I’ve done well doing random speculation. Really, it was probably more like gambling early on. Took my Roth IRA from 8k to around 60k during the period of 2006 to 2011. Since then I got busy and haven’t done much with it. I’ve been wanting to really get back into the markets and have been looking for the right approach. Currently it is more of the investor mindset… Buy and hold and keep buying as it drops via automatic contributions through a 401k. During my recent readings I’ve found that most the great traders seem to have one thing in common and that is concepts from investor business daily. Buying companies at new highs and playing for breakouts and limiting losses. I’ve been burned in the past with companies imploding overnight but have come back from those losses and learned not to invest in pure junk/hype since then. Stop losses wouldn’t have helped as the companies literally went from 30s to single digits in after hour trading due to earnings reports. I came across your book while purchasing momentum masters as your book was in the list of books other people buy. I came across momentum masters after buying Mark Minervini’s books which also focuses on breakouts. More than anything I’d like to be able to work hard, study hard, and learn now, more than ever, how I can better position myself for financial freedom beyond working a 9 to 5 job as I’ve come to enjoy spending time with my 3 year old. Being financially limited by resources is never fun so I’m actively looking how to make my current resources also work harder for me.

I understand. I can help.

Mr. Covel,

I’ve owned your book for over a year and it has sat neglected on my shelf with all my other finance books. Last week an instagramer I follow listed his favorite finance books and yours was listed first. I almost reordered it but remembered I had bought a copy a year or so ago and I pulled it off my shelf and started reading it. I’m now half way through and am totally immersed in it. Great insights. I went back on amazon to retrieve the receipt but unfortunately amazon doesn’t store receipts that far back. Instead I have included a photo of your said book and a copy of sjosephburns [Steve Burns] Instagram to back up my claim. I hope you will accept this as my legitimate receipt and allow me to receive your trend following presentation.

The video has been sent!

Michael,

First let me thank you for the opportunity to email you and for your book “Trend Following”. I am in my first year of trading and have read over 20 books including Trend Following and Trend Commandments. Both of these were GREAT! I am having some difficulties forming a good watch list to apply my strategies with. Along with that I am trading using options. Which I am kind of finding it difficult to do. I believe I can find a way.

Thank you,

Robert

Start here and here.

Ep. 822 is great! Thank You!

The apparent loss of respect for the Master/Apprentice relationship – and why it works – is going to be societal disaster. The “Masters” are not going to put all their skill & wisdom on the Internet, no way no how.

If Antonio Stradivari didn’t have any apprentices, the knowledge & skill of how to make a fantastic violin would have been lost.

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

I came across your book through Steve Burns books as I am trying to start my journey in Trend trading and currently doing my research and learning to trade this way. My biggest challenge currently has been searching for the trends (screening for stocks) and then knowing how long to wait if the stock is not moving and I suppose when to sell (especially with weeks like these i.e. Trump/China Tarriffs week). I purchased your book through Audible and am really enjoying listening to it and learning about these traders/methods. I had heard you had done a movie in 2009 and I wanted to get also access through your website and also sign up for the interactive presentation mentioned in the book. I’m enclosing as you mentioned a copy of my my audible purchase history as a jpeg. It’s the third book down and I purchased this on May 8th through my Audible subscription. I’m currently trying to read and listen to a number of books and podcasts trying to get up to speed with these newer methods.

Sincerely,
Ray
San Marcos, Texas
