Hi Michael,

Continue to enjoy and learn from your Podcasts. As previously stated, I am 80.5 years, an analog of the first order and deeply challenged by the digital arena. Finally plowed my way through the iTunes maze for sign up/registration and wrote a review under nickname: trdrtom.

I am not certain that it was accepted. Please let me know. It is almost one year since I communicated with Blair Hull. I will take another swing at that challenge. Am starting to reread your three books on my iPAD.

Warm regards,

Dear Michael ~

I am new to trend trading and have read The Complete TurtleTrader and starting trend trading. I am also part of a trading group where I learned trend trading with a coach. The most difficult issue I have had to date is the discipline of the process. The constant explanation and reinforcement of each podcast is invaluable. It sinks in little by little. I go away more convinced after each podcast that if they can do it, so can I. Thank you.

Best,
[Name]

P.S. I am a CPA too and it sure is time for a change!

Thanks!

Timeless Wisdom Lost on the Obtuse

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback on my free DVD:

I have watched the DVD, and was extremely disappointed to see that the interview was with someone who started in the share market about 25 years ago.

Thanks for the feedback. You missed the point.

Are You Profiting From the Market Panic?

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Michael,

I received a call from my dad asking if I was OK with the market panic selloff. Even though I had explained how I trade he and many others still think a drop in markets is bad for everyone. Naturally the panic selling was not the start of the down trend so I was nicely short the Dow prior to sell off.

I still can’t believe how robust this system is. Conceptually, I felt I understood it in the past but you just don’t get it until you trade it. And I am still amazed that the general market still thinks that you can only profit from stocks and commodities going up. At the same time I am profiting from that ignorance, so I am inclined to enjoy it.

Regards,
[Name]

Thanks.

The Podcast of Michael Covel

Dear Michael,

This is my review of your podcast, free for you to place anywhere you like under my name “Moshe Shalom, Israel”:

The podcast of Michael Covel is a treasure of knowledge. It brings you the basics about trading but also can enrich the most experienced of money managers. Michael is discussing all the topics with his great guests in a casual manner of an experienced host. His questions and remarks are a great addendum to the insights Of his guests and you see very quickly that he knows the “inside baseball” of the subjects discussed. This is not a “trend-following” only podcast. You have guests on many aspects of life, success, and zen-like attitude to survive the many twists and turns of life. Trading systems, risk management, and customer relations are the core of a very eclectic range of subjects that I found very interesting. I am sure that anyone that will listen too will feel the same mixture of pleasure and knowledge.

Thanks for everything,
Moshe Shalom, Israel

Thanks!
