“You certainly know how to connect the dots and express them with clarity and passion.”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Michael, In one of your recent podcasts you pointed out Japanese investors and their risk aversion vs. their market’s performance over the past decades. When you next made the accusation that the same thing was happening among Americans you nailed it! It is exactly what is happening here, and, as you pointed out, it goes far beyond just investing in markets. You certainly know how to connect the dots and express them with clarity and passion. I only discovered your podcast a couple months ago but must say that I enjoy your insights and perspective while, alternately, so many other podcasts are so narrowly focused on what the S&P 500 will do in the next day-week-whatever. I find your thinking about how we engage the world around us similar to my own philosophy and will continue to listen and enjoy. Thank you for sharing. Regards,

My guests today are Chris Kacher and Gil Morales.

Kacher is the co-founder of TriQuantum Technologies, holding company for KJA wherein he is lead portfolio manager. Dr. Kacher’s metrics have called every major top & bottom in bitcoin since 2011 to within a few weeks of the top. He was up in 2018 vs the average performing crypto hedge fund at -54% (PwC).

Morales was personally recruited by Bill O’Neil himself to join William O’Neil + Company, Inc. as a Vice -President and Manager of the Institutional Services Division, responsible for advising over 600 institutional investor clients, and as an internal portfolio manager responsible for managing a portion of the firm’s proprietary, internal assets. From 1997 to 2005 he achieved a return of approximately 2100% in his portion of the firm’s proprietary account. In 2004 he was named Chief Market Strategist at William O’Neil + Company, Inc.

The topic is their book In The Trading Cockpit with the O’Neil Disciples: Strategies that Made Us 18,000% in the Stock Market.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • The “O.W.L.” ethos, and the story behind it
  • Reversion to the mean mentality, and how it can often be the kiss of death for traders and investors
  • Trading psychology, the idea that “you must lose to win”, how the least important statistic is your percentage of gains v. losses in your trading account
  • Dealing with emotionalism and why clients often want to hear something that will make them feel better
  • Teaching people to let go of the news and simply watch the price action
  • Why people think that “this time is different”, put their trust in the central economy, and why trend following will survive into the future
  • Understanding that investing is always a process of changing along the way
  • What mental clutter in the way of fears, biases, concerns and more can build up in the mind and get in the way of clear and decisive decision-making
