Approach the Market in a New Way

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

I want to thank you for writing your books. They got me to approach the market in a new way. I have dived head long into algo/quant trading through trend trading. As long as you trust the system and follow through you will succeed. I think that the simpler systems are better than complex. Also the markets are noisier than they were 20 years ago which make trend trading harder, but it is still the most successful method for trading. Thanks again Michael.

Hi Michael, I am a big follower of yours and love the trend following philosophy. You always list a lot of the trend following hedge funds, and I was wondering if you knew of any in San Francisco?

Thanks,

I don’t keep track like that in any comprehensive way to advise you. Wish better news.

Don’t Get Sucked into the Junk

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Michael,

I have a friend here who subscribes to [name]. I tried their trial membership but didn’t continue. Now I get all this junk. Your stuff ain’t junk at all and I love how prolific you are with your podcasts. It’s only a matter of time before I buy your Trend Following system to add to my [name]. Funny thing is I discovered you through [name] daily reports. One of the articles from [name] Money Management mentioned your name. Then I bought and read all of your books.

Warmest regards,
[Name]

A followup email:

I forgot to mention the main point of my message: There’s so much junk out there people have no idea what the real stuff is. For example, I personally surveyed more than 300 “advisors” last year and not one, that would be zero, had heard of Michael Covel or your books. Just one of them had heard of [name]. You see, at all these industry events, mainly for CE credits, I casually ask the advisor sitting next to me “what’s your plan for the next bear market? Or Black Swan Event?” Absolutely no clue from any of them, except this one guy who knew about [name]. That’s one out of more than 300 Michael. These people are so called “Advisors”. Selling nothing but MPT, the “Great Intellectual Fraud”. In Canada, that’s about a Trillion dollar fraud. I’m sure glad I’m no longer with a bank owned brokerage. Otherwise this kind of message would be a no no. As it is [name] is owned by a $100 billion mutual fund company, whose compliance people will never approve of what I do. The beauty of being 100% self-employed, merely telling the truth, and having Branch Compliance people who are open minded. After all results Speak.

Thanks!

“The Secrets Have Finally Been Harnessed!”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Since I’ve been following your books and podcasts, I view [promotional] email blasts (I must receive 10-15 a day) from the investment community with a whole different attitude. I used to read them with the eagerness of a novice seeking wisdom at the master’s feet. Now, not so much. I’ve been a financial advisor for 25 years and I’ve grown so very tired of the “I wasn’t wrong, I was just early” attitude taken by Wall Street research departments and pundits. The stock market will indeed correct 10%, maybe 15% or 20%, but waiting for [that] while our currency implodes seems not only foolish but downright arrogant. It’s not so much what is [in the promo fluff] that bothers me but the implied subtext that I find offensive and so very wrong. Thank you Mike for all you do – keep shining the light. You are helping me help hundreds.

Just Starting Out? Read Like Crazy!

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Dear Michael,

My name is Jason and I am an avid listener to your podcast. I have a 13-year-old son who I would love to guide toward having the kind of economic freedom and lifestyle you talk about on your podcast. I am a dentist and am not familiar with what it takes to make it in the world of finance, entrepreneurship, and investing. I would be very interested in what educational goals and life experiences you would encourage a smart, 13-year old young man to go after given your valuable insight having been highly successful yourself and having interviewed many highly successful people. Would you take a certain course of study? Would you start a business or go into a certain profession? Would you work in a corporation to learn the ins and outs of the world of business?

It is a little overwhelming when trying to figure out how to steer a young man, but I guess the bottom line is this: What would you plan to do from 13-21 if you had to do it all over again? Any thoughts you may have would be greatly appreciated. Again, the podcast is awesome and keep up the great work!

Sincerely,
[Name]

I would read like crazy:

That list will keep someone busy for a few years. I would start a business or fund.

Thank you very much for responding to my email. It is a real battle these days to keep kids from being totally absorbed into the world of endless social media distractions on one hand and also being caught up in the political agenda the schools are up to on the other.

That looks like a great reading list and it definitely will keep him busy for a while to come! I also appreciate your advice to start a business or a fund also. Hopefully, those resources and direction will give him a chance to really know what makes this world turn. Again, the podcast is wonderful, and I truly appreciate your email response.

Welcome.

Meeting Trend Following Pioneer Ed Seykota

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hello Michael. I’m glad to have come cross your site and all of your information. I Actually have an interesting story about meeting Ed Seykota about 10 years ago.

Ok.

Got into commodities watching my stepfather get long gold before Y2K in 2000. He did well. Took a Ken Roberts course and started dabbling a little bit made some, lost some, but continued to grow my interest through 2004.

Came across the turtle trading site and all the information, read as much as I could, downloaded everything and saved it in files. Read all the books on the recommended reading lists. Out of all the market wizards, for some reason Ed Seykota jumped off the page at me. Liked his spirit. I was headed to Tahoe for a vacation and remembered reading that he lived there. Okay, tracked him down.

Decided to reach out to him. Shot him an email and said thank you for all the work that he did to try to share with people and to bring them along toward a better life. Asked if we could meet and I could thank him in person and buy him a cup of coffee. He replied and said that he didn’t drink coffee but that he liked to ride his mountain bike and play music. He asked if I did either of those things.

In fact, I did ride a mountain bike and I do play guitar. He said well give me a call when you get up here. Let’s go for a ride and play some music, and we did. Was invited back to visit his trading tribe. Very cool experience.

Nice.

You may also enjoy reading the Ed Seykota book on his trading rules.

Trend Following Feedback

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hello Michael,

I’m a 25 year veteran as a financial advisor and I’ve subscribed to more newsletters and systems than I care to admit. I know there’s no “magic bullet” to investing success when confronted with the chaos that exists in this world, but your writings and the evidence you provide has made a significant impact on me. I, like most of my financial advisor brethren, (particularly those who are independent like the [name] advisors) want to make a positive impact on the financial lives of our clients and break free from the “buy and hope” nonsense still prescribed by Wall Street professionals and the index funds. Your teaching has already helped me help my clients to better manage the risks of the markets and I’m extremely grateful. I’m an avid listener to your podcast and own three of your books (all with extensive highlighting and underlining).

All the best to you and the Trend Following team.

Regards,
[Name]

Thanks!
