This video with Joe Kernen and David Harding on CNBC led to Kernen getting a little testy on Twitter with me. An excerpt from Kernen and I:
Kernen: Oh yeah. [Harding] Great for an interview. Absolutely no predictions or forecasts about what might happen in the future.
Covel: So the interviewee blows if he can’t forecast tomorrow?
Covel: Why have a trader on who does not predict and then ask for a prediction?
Kernen: Why wrestle with pigs when all you get is dirty. Toodles.
Why so curt with me? I did rip him earlier here.

In the San Antonio Spurs’ locker room, there is a quotation on the wall from Jacob Riis:
“When nothing seems to help I go back and look at the stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.”
Spot on trend following mindset.

This came across my desk recently:
Dear Mr. Covel, My name is [name] and I’ve read three of your books and have listened to over 50 of your podcasts. I’m emailing you because I have a project in which I need to interview a group of successful, yet secretive, professionals. They aren’t in the Managed Futures/Trend Following space. There will be a “secret sauce” that they will not want to give away, but obviously I need to get as much out of them as possible. The interviews will be conducted in person and via telephone/skype. My questions are:
1) What successful ways have you found to break the ice and establish rapport during the interview? I would certainly be viewed as an outsider to the industry.
2) What are some uncommon ways or tactics you have used to get the proverbial “foot in the door” with individuals who have been reluctant to accept your interview?
3) What am I offering in return for this interview? In many of your podcasts reciprocity can obviously being a great thing to get the author/guest to agree to the interview, but I’m struggling with how I might be creating value for my interviewee.
4) Any words of wisdom when it comes to this first stage of the project?
I appreciate your time and keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
[name]
Tough questions as much of what I do is instinctive now after years of practice (and of course all of my on air process is out there for all to see). It might not feel like a direct answer to your questions, but my list here is the best place to start. If you are really serious, you have some homework ahead of you.
