Trend Following Feedback from Brazil

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

I just read your book The Complete TurtleTrader and already bought the others. Starting Trend Following now. Do you have any idea when are you coming to presentations here in Brazil? I’ve been three times in USA (Miami, Orlando and California recently) for vacations and would like to attend one presentation of yours the next time. Is there a schedule somewhere?

I thank you so much for changing my way of thinking about the markets. I listened each of your episodes at least twice, some of them three or four times and I’m learning a lot with you and your guests. I even started to read a lot more because your guests are always indicating books. I read books from Schwager, Tharp, Altucher, Radge, Basso and the list goes on…

Thank you for everything and keep your awesome work going on.

All the best for you!

Trend Following Radio Feedback

Feedback:

Honestly, my entire career has changed because of your podcast now that I think about it because it was my first exposure to trend following. A couple years ago I listened to your podcast for the first time and didn’t like it, too closed minded. Then I listened again… and again. My mind gradually continued to open and expand.

It’s always a journey.

Snoop Dogg vs. Trend Following Radio

Feedback in:

Hello Michael,

Still haven’t been able to get my daughter to let go of Snoop Dogg and attack your podcasts with a passion, but hope does spring eternal. Somehow I will prevail! It never ceases to amaze me though at how ahead of there time Rich and Bill were back in the 70s. Not to mention Richard Donchian before them, and last but not least, Jesse Livermore way before them!

The more things change,the more they stay the same! Keep up the great SERVICE you provide to the enlightened few and may health, happiness and success continue to be with you.

Should you buy these unstoppable shares?

Buying shares just because they have risen sounds like a recipe for disaster, but it’s not.

“Your podcast is one of the highlights of my week…”

Feedback in:

Dear Mr. Covel,

I’ve been listening to your podcast for about 4 months now and more than ever I really wanted to reach out to express my gratitude for putting together such a great show. I used to use technical analysis trade in college but since graduation I have been working in risk at a large asset manager in NYC so haven’t had much time. Around January of this year I decided I was going to get back into trading my own account and during my research I came across the turtle traders, which lead me to your book and subsequently your podcast.

Listening to your interviews with Michael Melissinos and Glenn Graham earlier this week really got me motivated to take my work to the next level. I am 25 so hearing from those guys about how they started out when they were about my age really got me excited. I don’t plan on dropping everything to open a fund, but it lends some credibility to this hobby that I keep pouring hours into. Top that off with your latest episode about how most of my generation base their decisions off a quick Google search and it makes me feel even more energized about the reading and research I enjoy to do (I apologize on my generation’s behalf, I have no idea how the hipster phenomenon took hold either).

Really I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you are doing. I have been listening for so long now I figured it was about time I let you know you have one more happy listener in the states. Your podcast is one of the highlights of my week and the guests you manage to bring on is simply amazing. Keep up the great work.

Best,
[Name]

Thanks!
