I sent an email to you a couple months back with a bit of feed back on your pod cast.

I should have left it on here so I could just reply and you could remember the conversation and me, but That’s not so important for today.

I have been a listener for long time now and listen to all the episodes in case I can pick something of use up. And I have to say I get a bit out of it.

Since I last talked to you where talking about Larry Hite in one the episodes then a couple weeks later you had him on for a 1 hour episode.

I thought it was really good to the extent that I had to take a couple listens at it just so I didn’t miss anything. I love the way this guy talks about very thing in life and you must not only cut your losses early but always do things to get the odds in your favor.

I think I listened to that episode 4 times, over a couple weeks. I also bought the book on Amazon and I got straight into that.

I finished this book in a few days which is really good for me.

I thought you covered the entire book really in the interview but it was about drumming the mind set into me. I think it was really good and I like the simple to the point story telling of Larry. So let him know that some guy in Australia really liked is book and that I’m wishing him all the best.

Next I just finished one of you monologues, like 5 minutes ago (822 I think I’m up too).

I loved it because after I have really pumped Larry’s life out look and how we must keep trying and so on, I think your pod cast here was a great unintentional follow up that this interview and book.

I have a couple successful people I have met here over the years and one of these guys has always said to me. “You have to back your self”. You cover exactly this today again for me. We have the tall poppy syndrome in this country as well… Where people don’t want you to get ahead.

I Know this is so important to all the things I am trying to achieve in life. I have a day job for the moment. But I am getting better and learning and this will not be forever.

So well done on presenting these topics because I believe 100% in what you said here today… The main reason I still work is because of the not doing what you & Larry have said to this point.

Back yourself.

Get the odds in your favor in anything you do.

Try & keep trying. As Larry said he could never stop trying.

Cut the losses & bad choices early.

So all this sounds simple, but now I have started being mindful in all this and I find myself practicing the process every single day now. It is starting to work for me. I think I have a descent process not perfect but now I have something to work with.

Thanks for the podcast and I just wanted to wish you all the best for the holidays & to say that you are making a difference out there, in this fake ass time we are living in. Plus not all of us are just money hungry pricks looking for a free ride or get rich with no work thing.

These are the books above I’m studying at present. And that’s the unit I moved into about 3 months back to better my trading and learning environment. That’s my reading environment now.

Take care and all the best.

Thanks! Merry Christmas!

In the past I’ve done well doing random speculation. Really, it was probably more like gambling early on. Took my Roth IRA from 8k to around 60k during the period of 2006 to 2011. Since then I got busy and haven’t done much with it. I’ve been wanting to really get back into the markets and have been looking for the right approach. Currently it is more of the investor mindset… Buy and hold and keep buying as it drops via automatic contributions through a 401k. During my recent readings I’ve found that most the great traders seem to have one thing in common and that is concepts from investor business daily. Buying companies at new highs and playing for breakouts and limiting losses. I’ve been burned in the past with companies imploding overnight but have come back from those losses and learned not to invest in pure junk/hype since then. Stop losses wouldn’t have helped as the companies literally went from 30s to single digits in after hour trading due to earnings reports. I came across your book while purchasing momentum masters as your book was in the list of books other people buy. I came across momentum masters after buying Mark Minervini’s books which also focuses on breakouts. More than anything I’d like to be able to work hard, study hard, and learn now, more than ever, how I can better position myself for financial freedom beyond working a 9 to 5 job as I’ve come to enjoy spending time with my 3 year old. Being financially limited by resources is never fun so I’m actively looking how to make my current resources also work harder for me.

I understand. I can help.

Mr. Covel,

I’ve owned your book for over a year and it has sat neglected on my shelf with all my other finance books. Last week an instagramer I follow listed his favorite finance books and yours was listed first. I almost reordered it but remembered I had bought a copy a year or so ago and I pulled it off my shelf and started reading it. I’m now half way through and am totally immersed in it. Great insights. I went back on amazon to retrieve the receipt but unfortunately amazon doesn’t store receipts that far back. Instead I have included a photo of your said book and a copy of sjosephburns [Steve Burns] Instagram to back up my claim. I hope you will accept this as my legitimate receipt and allow me to receive your trend following presentation.

The video has been sent!

Michael,

First let me thank you for the opportunity to email you and for your book “Trend Following”. I am in my first year of trading and have read over 20 books including Trend Following and Trend Commandments. Both of these were GREAT! I am having some difficulties forming a good watch list to apply my strategies with. Along with that I am trading using options. Which I am kind of finding it difficult to do. I believe I can find a way.

Thank you,

Robert

Start here and here.

Ep. 822 is great! Thank You!

The apparent loss of respect for the Master/Apprentice relationship – and why it works – is going to be societal disaster. The “Masters” are not going to put all their skill & wisdom on the Internet, no way no how.

If Antonio Stradivari didn’t have any apprentices, the knowledge & skill of how to make a fantastic violin would have been lost.

Brian

Thanks!
