I once opened a fortune cookie a couple decades ago and it read, “your health is your wealth”. It really resonated with me, as I felt and still feel, that I’m very healthy relative to my family and friends, and it’s how I think about my life in terms of what to reflect on. In this regard I feel blessed. As another author put it, you don’t want to be the richest person in the hospital.

Give it a listen!

My biggest issue has been the volatility that Trump caused by opening his mouth. Last year I had several options on Amazon. Without any real reason Trump just started whaling on Amazon almost on the daily. Since then I’ve been reading very little and studying much more. My true mistake was that I had too much money in one investment.

Trump did not cause your issues.

An incomplete/bad plan doomed you.

Hello,

My biggest challenges have been the following:

1. Some indecision between short term trading (faster signals) v/s long term (slower buy and sell signals). Not sure which gives better returns –> have heard proponents for both but inconclusive in my mind so far. I guess it comes down to personal preference, although would like to know what you think.

2. Which is the best set of indicators: Moving avg crossover (?) if so, the best combination?

3. Have not been able to create a system as I flex between multiple strategies with issue # 1 (short term v/s long term) really throwing a wrench in the whole process.

Look forward to getting some help from a proven expert like yourself.

Thanks!

Sandeep

I don’t like your strategy.

Hi Michael,

I’ve written before. Wanted to say I’ve continued to listen to your podcast and am kind of blown away by how many there are and how good they all are. You’ve got awesome guests and you’re a talented interviewer. So thanks for this free podcast! It’s obvious you love it and your passion comes through to the audience.

A question for you: in the intro to the podcast, you say that you envision a time when we can make money in up, down or sideways markets. Does the “sideways markets” part refer to diversification (if one market is going sideways, another one will be trending, so you can still make money if, say, the S&P 500 is flat). Or is there a trend-following strategy for sideways markets?

Anyway, thanks again for making my daily commute interesting!

David

Diversification! See here.

Hi Michael,

Just a quick one.

I have been reading Larry’s book (love it and love him) and I happened to see a few reviews on Amazon.

One of them said something along the lines of, “rubbish, doesn’t tell you anything about his strategy or what indicators he uses for technical analysis and charts…blah blah blah”.

Just incredible, to have bought the book you would think the guy or gal would actually have some idea of the concept of Larry and trend trading but clearly not and they will take absolutely nothing from the book and all the wisdom that is in there. My guess is they were expecting to be spoon fed an exact strategy that Larry uses (which they probably wouldn’t follow).

In my opinion he actually has done this – run your winners, cut your losses – it’s all there but the reviewer probably wanted something more along the lines of, “when the price crosses the upper Bollinger band and the 20 period moving average is higher than the 50 but no higher than the 100 period while the temperature outside is no higher than 45 degrees but no lower than 42 and the previous evening had a full moon, then and only then should you watch CNBC and go on twitter to find other like minded people to validate your trade. Once these all line up you should then enter the trade”.

Also on your recent podcast with Larry you mentioned how much material you have built up with Larry and you may release a monster episode of it all. Would love to hear this.

Thanks,

Lewis

Yes, there are many angry losers roaming Amazon…

Some Larry audio here for the learned.
