“I don’t see why it would matter what calendar month you do trend following…”

Feedback in:

Hi Michael!

This is my first letter to you! First of all, I’m a big fan of your pod. I deem it to be a big part of my work to listen to good pods to be a better investor and person. And yours is probably top 3 of all. And that’s from a list of over 100 pods.

So to my question regarding pod no. 638 “Walk the line”. You say that trend-following is to “start out the year” testing several objects.

I don’t see why it would matter what calendar month you do trend-following. One might want to start out in July. Maybe you just meant it figuratively and I am misunderstanding you here.

BTW, glad that you show your politics from time to time.

Figurative!

“It’s been like a graduate course on investing and life…”

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

I understand what you wrote in your short lesson emails, and from hands-on experience know that trading with a well-designed system can work.

From your emails, what stood out most, and is a clear reminder for me, is that I really need to have a standard operating procedure (SOP) for *everything* as far as any of my investing goes. In my opinion, a well-designed, and tested system has *proper* procedures for everything: instrument selection, entry, exit, position sizing, rare exogenous event procedures, hedging, and risk management that ties it all together and mathematically *guarantees* a steadily rising equity curve.

These things are *not* easy to master, and require considerable time and research to get right. I know from hands-on experience.

My wife is currently finishing a degree in Accounting here in the US. The students appear to be taught the popular dogma unfortunately…something I don’t agree with.

On a separate note. Thank you for your podcast and books. I listened so far to perhaps like 150-200 episodes. It’s been like a graduate course on investing and *life*, taught by an all-star team of professors.

All the best,
[Name]

Thanks!
