Classic Six Degrees Separation

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Thought I would tell you how I first heard about you. Trend Following and a mention of your book came up in Steve Blumenthal’s weekly e-newsletter “On My Radar” 2-3 years ago. I read your book and tucked it away in my head. I heard you on a Meb Faber podcast last year, then started listening to your podcast. I really enjoy your questions and your willingness to dig deeper.

So here I am. See, the indirect marketing really does work [for Flagship]!

“No worries about the tail or the head, only trade for the fillet…”

Michael:

I just wanted to send you a thank you. I walk about 4 miles each morning while listening to your podcasts from iTunes. I have been listening for about 6 months and I have been able to get through about 1/2 of them so far. I am never tired of listening and really appreciate your guests.

I take “Trend Following” to heart. I actually came up with a trend following method before listening to you. As I was figuring it out and looking for more ideas… I came upon you. Great! I use price as my focus. I look for recent activity rather than waiting on predictive, from historical data, methods.

I know that you are not really keen on inter-day trading, but that is what I do. In defense I trade futures not equities, giving me more leverage for trading and quicker movements because of it. Out of the market at the end of each day. I am serious about stops, never violating them, and only trade when a trend has been established.

I have been more successful in my trading than I have ever been in the past since deciding the market will kill me if I try to challenge it. I have blown up two accounts so I am a bit gun shy about thinking I “know” anything regarding the market. I now only join the winning side, kind of like the Switzerland of trading. No worries about the tail or the head, only trade for the fillet.

Thanks again,

Thanks!

But that day trading… to me that is a business for Jim Simons, Toby Crabel and JPM.

Mike,

I thought you’d enjoy this email I got from client today who is a member of my monthly [Name] Sports [Name] service… he’s only been on board two weeks, so I don’t know much about him, but I get a feeling he thinks Bitcoin will always go higher… enjoy:

“Steve, I will not be renewing my subscription at the end of this month. I am focusing on investing my money in Bitcoin for a better ROI. Thank you for your service.
David”

Oh well… Happy Holidays and have a great New Year… keep up the fantastic work with your podcast!
