No Fundamentals. Repeat, No Fundamentals

Posted on by Michael Covel

Always in the past, and always in the future, the gatekeepers of information will want investors to consider the yin and yang:

Funnymentals

“I just wanted thank you for your work and your dedication…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hi Mike,

I just wanted thank you for your work and your dedication.

I listened to two of your audiobooks (Turtletrader & Trend Following) and now follow your podcast. I just finished listening to Sunday’s podcast with Peter Borish and I felt compelled to just send you a short thank you. I’ve always wanted to pursue trading professionally (long story, have a connection to one of those famous traders you’ve mentioned in your work) and I’m finally in a space where I can trade from a retail account. I’ve been trying to figure out what I should do next and your interviews have helped me rethink what my options are as a person with the passion for markets but not working in the space exclusively. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you and let you know if there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. I’ll work for free, if you need an extra pair of eyes to review some writing or something else. I’m not where I want to be but I wouldn’t be where I am now if it weren’t for all the people who gave their time freely to help me and I want to pay it forward.

Thanks again for taking the risk and leap a faith to pursue your own path.

[Name]

Thanks! Dig in… lots of inspiration.

The Babe Ruth Effect in Venture Capital and Trend Following

Posted on by Michael Covel

Consider from The Babe Ruth Effect: Frequency vs Magnitude (PDF):

“Building a portfolio that can deliver superior performance requires that you evaluate each investment using expected value analysis. What is striking is that the leading thinkers across varied fields — including horse betting, casino gambling, and investing — all emphasize the same point. We call it the Babe Ruth effect: even though Ruth struck out a lot, he was one of baseball’s greatest hitters.”

Chris Dixon adds:

…about ~6% of investments representing 4.5% of dollars invested generated ~60% of the total returns. Let’s dig into the data a little more to see what separates good VC funds from bad VC funds.

Further from Dixon:

The home runs for good funds are around 20x, but the home runs for great funds are almost 70x. As Bill Gurley says: “Venture capital is not even a home run business. It’s a grand slam business.”

Speculation is not about a consistent 1% a month. That’s fantasy.
