Please enjoy my monologue Don’t Curb Your Enthusiasm with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio. This episode may also include great outside guests from my archive.
I just want to say thanks for all of the work you’ve put in over the years. You’ve helped me a great deal not just in learning about trend following, but also meeting people within the space.
I remember reading Trend Following back in 2007 after I graduated college; learning about John Henry, Seykota, Jerry Parker, etc. Little did I know that I’d become friendly with some of these guys. It’s all still so surreal and very cool.
About a month ago, after [meeting] a very well known trend following trader, he decides to invest $[xxx] in my fund. For a guy like me managing $[small] millions, that’s a big f’n deal!
I don’t think this could’ve been possible without the work you’ve done, so I just want to thank you for doing it.
Let me know when you come back to the states. Let’s run some sprints and have a catch.

Where does Rayner stand, in numbers, with social media followers? He has about 22,000 followers on YouTube and his Facebook community consists of about 15,000.

Rayner entered the military (mandatory) at age 19.
The topic is trading.

Mr. Covel, I just want to say that I have challenged you on a couple of points on Facebook. I want to say I now “get it”. I just listened to Dan Pena on your podcast, but more importantly I heard “you”. I am 58 years old. I was a collegiate wrestler, so I know what mental toughness is. But I believe I was starting to drift into “snowflake” territory. I own a couple of homes in [name]. One is in [name] and I think that might be the “snowflake” capital of the world. I worked at Charles Schwab and I am retired. I have a MBA. I did all the things I was supposed to. However, I never did branch out on my own and I regret that. I now follow you and the markets. I have a couple of editions of “Trend Following” including the new 5th edition. Gold. Sir you are a total bad ass with amazing skills in terms of communication. So I greatly appreciate your contributions to the world…I bet you might get messages like this from “fans” but I’m coming from a point of respect. I highly respect you and what you have done with your life.
My guest today is Dan Pena, a high performance coach, philanthropist, businessman and author. He has seen every type of business imaginable. He brings an attitude that inspires and provokes action. Dan doesn’t have a subtle, gentle teaching style – as anyone can sense from this podcast. His students regularly ask him, “Why are you so mean? Why do you use such harsh language?” He responds by saying, “Because life is hard.” Most people want change, but they only want change that conforms to their definition — and that is not change. That is staying the same.
The topic is his book Your First 100 Million.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
Lack of leadership in today’s society
Alpha males
Beta males
Getting out of victim mode
Political correctness syndrome
Snowflakes
“Being a high performance person doesn’t mean you are a good guy. Being a high performance person means that you get shit done. You are trying to be all that you can be.” – Dan Pena
