“Really enjoyed the interview with Tyler Cowen…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Really enjoyed the interview with Tyler Cowen. As I was listening I was thinking about Detroit and Dan Gilbert. I don’t live there, but I do work for Quicken Loans. That’s probably impacted my perception of the city, but there are big things happening. I don’t feel like Gilbert is playing it safe. Maybe other billionaires do similar type things, but I don’t remember seeing it, especially where I live near Cincinnati.

Here’s an article, if you’re interested – link.

The podcast is great, keep up the good work.

Thanks!

My guest today is Rob Arnott, an entrepreneur, author, investor, and writer. He serves as Chairman and CEO of Research Affiliates LLC. advising on over $160 billion dollars in institutional investment assets. Rob is one of the worlds preeminent voices on investment strategy. Rob has been with quantitative investing since it’s inception in the 70’s. With the rise in computer capabilities, quant traders were able to start to make a name for themselves in the trading community.

The topic is quantitative investing.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • An addiction to complexity
  • Fundamental indexing
  • Momentum trading
  • How to use valuation
  • Benchmarks
  • Diversification
  • Modern finance
  • Weighting your portfolio

“I think the quant community has a lot of issues. Some of them relate to an addiction to complexity and some of it relates to a willingness to obfuscate. If you make your ideas complex enough so that nobody can understand it, that creates a seduction attraction to some, but people shouldn’t buy something they don’t understand.” – Rob Arnott

“We are in a business where you win by making fewer errors.” – Rob Arnott

“This whole trend following thing sounds pretty cool…”

Michael,

I have been listening to your podcast for a couple of weeks now and I have to say that its top notch. Great job and keep the awesome content coming.

I am currently getting my MBA with a focus on finance and data analytics. My finance professors teach the classic efficient markets hypothesis, which just doesn’t seem to be accurate in my opinion. Your work, along with the guests that you have had on your show confirm my thinking.

This weekend I will be driving cross country and your audiobook will be making the trip with me, and can’t wait to dive in and see what is in the 30+ hours of material.

Just wanted to reach out and give you some positive feedback, keep it up.

Thanks,

“Hey babe, we’re moving to [name]. I’m gonna go get tutored by Covel!”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hello Michael,

I don’t expect a reply to this email, so please don’t hesitate to simply put it away (no harm done, honestly).

I simply wanted to thank you for your work and dedication. I have been listening to your podcast for about 8 months now.

Just to give you a quick synopsis of my background, I’m a practicing physician in Toronto, Canada. In late 2015 I decided to pursue a second career in finance/wealth management and so I went back to school (having zero knowledge of finance/economics. I didn’t even know what a bond was, or a stock for that matter). I still have not started the career switch but I have completed all the educational requirements to be licensed as an Investment Advisor and actually start my new career.

Anyhow, I really admire your message, the way you carry yourself and the amazing guests you have managed to bring on your show.

In one of your latest podcast when you discussed the family friend that happened to visit [name] I actually found myself day dreaming about packing my bags (and my girlfriend’s) and heading there…”hey babe, we’re moving to [name]. I’m gonna go get tutored by Covel!”

Anyhow, if you’re ever in Toronto, we would love to take you out for dinner.

Cheers,
[Name]

Thanks for writing.

Dinner sounds great, but we have to get in the same city first!

“It’s all still so surreal and very cool…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Hey Mike,

I just want to say thanks for all of the work you’ve put in over the years. You’ve helped me a great deal not just in learning about trend following, but also meeting people within the space.

I remember reading Trend Following back in 2007 after I graduated college; learning about John Henry, Seykota, Jerry Parker, etc. Little did I know that I’d become friendly with some of these guys. It’s all still so surreal and very cool.

About a month ago, after [meeting] a very well known trend following trader, he decides to invest $[xxx] in my fund. For a guy like me managing $[small] millions, that’s a big f’n deal!

I don’t think this could’ve been possible without the work you’ve done, so I just want to thank you for doing it.

Let me know when you come back to the states. Let’s run some sprints and have a catch.

[Name]

Great story! Congrats!
