Trend Following in Bulgaria

Feedback in:

Dear Mr. Covel, My name is [name] and I am Assistant professor in Investments at Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at Sofia University in Bulgaria. I am also a portfolio manager, trader and since last year – sole publisher of books on investments. In 2012 and 2013 with the help of some friends (traders) I organized [seminars here]. These seminars were open to anybody in Bulgaria, willing to hear from professionals how to trade and to follow the trend. One of the lecturers last year [name] suggested to us your book The Complete TurtleTrader. I read it and I liked it very much. And I thought that it will be a good idea if I translate it and publish it in Bulgaria (there are people, who trade or would like to trade, but do not know enough English to read it). I saw on your website that you have other books too. So, I am writing to you to ask you if you would like to sell the rights to translate in Bulgarian and publish your books (or at least one of them) in Bulgaria? Also, would you like to participate on the next Trend Following seminar as lecturer? The seminar will be most likely in April this year. The lectures are done by Skype call.

What do you think?
Best regards,
[name]

Yes, my publishers can be connected with you to discuss rights issues. Which book? Seminars? What is your proposal? Do you ever have these where the presenter is there in person?

  • The paradox of options
  • Having too much choice
  • Democracy and choice

I Will Take Your Stage and Win Converts

A recent email exchange:

Name: Do you ever speak to buy side equity funds? [I] was thinking if you did, I would love for you to speak to my guys in Stamford. The constraint as I mentioned to you is that we’re using relative valuation to find the outlier stocks to buy and short, so fundamentals, albeit objectively driven in lieu of emotionally driven, are part of the process. Let me know.

Covel: I am always game to opportunities. In the States in January [and then off to Singapore].

Name: Great. Let me come back to you.

Ep. 187: Charles Faulkner Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

Charles Faulkner
Charles Faulkner

My guest today is Charles Faulkner, an author, trader, and international expert on modeling the knowledge and performance of exceptional individuals. He was originally featured in “The New Market Wizards” by Jack Schwager.

The topic is trading psychology.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Behavior, emotions, decision-making, and intuition in the world of money–and what money does to us on a biological level
  • Neurolinguistic Programming
  • How money in the mind influences money in the world
  • The schizophrenic-seeming handout to the two recent Nobel Prize winners
  • “System one” and “system two”
  • How “one” is running all the time, how “two” takes effort–and where Faulkner hopes to take this research
  • How experience can teach “system one”
  • New lightbulb moments in current research
  • How the “afraid to lose” (or in Singapore, Kiasu) concept could be terribly dangerous when applied to money
  • Why the less you know about something, the clearer the image–and the more certain you are that it’s real and true
  • The need for certainty
  • Money as a living metaphor; sunk costs
  • The Myers-Briggs instrument
  • Rituals and money
