My guest today is Taylor Pearson, the author of the #1 Amazon best selling book The End of Jobs. Pearson has spent the last several years researching and traveling the world and talking to successful entrepreneurs, which inspired him to write the book.

The topic is his book The End of Jobs: Money, Meaning and Freedom Without the 9-to-5.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • How entrepreneurship is becoming safer than jobs
  • Why college degrees are getting more expensive and less valuable
  • The importance of relationships and your network in business
  • Why the occupy movement was flawed from the start
  • Not seeking permission to do something you want to do
  • How the perceptions of risk in our society are wrong
  • Choosing a path in life that has meaning to you

“Resources or opportunities are illegible or not clearly defined at the same time that they are most profitable” – Taylor Pearson

Risk Reduction: Trend Following Radio Feedback

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hi,

In podcast 365 you talked a bit about how some fund managers would de-leverage. Does that just mean they stop risking their money? I like the point made that large drawdowns aren’t necessarily a bad thing.

[Name]

It’s not about the cessation of risk, but the reduction of risk.

  • Wake up and NOT turn on CNBC.
  • Work out.
  • Eat.
  • Read.
  • Listen.
  • Enjoy.

When all is done, review price & volume data, make adjustments when necessary. Rinse, wash repeat…

Hey Micheal, I have recently started as an intern at a financial planning business and they invest in and are great believers of trend following. I am looking to learn as much as possible and have started reading your books and listening to your podcasts and I am really enjoying them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and I hope to keep learning and developing in the future. I was wondering if you could help me get the first 60 episodes of your podcast because they don’t show up on iTunes. Anyway keep up the great work. Hope you hold a conference in Australia in the future.

All episodes.

Jim Rohrbach Offers Insight on Darvas

Mike:

I am so pleased that you discovered Nicholas Darvis. I bought his book “How I Made 2 Million Dollars in the Stock Market” in the early 1960’s. That’s when I first started developing my RIX Market Timing Index. I loved that book and I lent it to someone or gave it to someone. There were many lessons in that book for a young guy trying to figure out how to invest with the trend. Like, “Never Sell A Rising Stock”. His transactions were documented very well I thought. Stay out of market board rooms. He definitely influenced my thinking about identifying changes in the trend of the stock market. I could not put down the subject and I spent 7 years developing my RIX Index which accurately identifies changes in the trend of the stock market. It has worked for over 40 years and it frequently gets me ranked No. 1 in the country on Timer Digest’s Top Ten Timers List. Yes, Nicholas Darvas is the real deal and I am so glad that you are telling your readers about him. He is definitely one of my [mentors]. I am pleased that you are bringing his work back to life. I hope your readers study what he said in that book!

Your friend,
Jim Rohrbach

Thanks Jim!
