No More Bloomberg Radio!

Hi Michael, Just thought I would drop you a note to say a big thank you for all the work you and your team are doing with the podcasts, not to mention your books as well. I stumbled upon your work whilst searching for information on Nick Radge who I have been learning from over the last 12 months, and listened to your interviews with him and have been hooked ever since.

I have been attempting to find my feet in the trading world for the last 4 years and have learned more in the last 12 months from Nick and yourself than I have since I started my journey. I used to listen to Bloomberg Radio (don’t judge me) and was really struggling to find relevant information that cuts through the bullshit and gets to the essence of what we need to know as new traders, thankfully I have found it.

The other comment I would like to ad in reference to your podcasts is the variety of people and the topics you cover is wonderful. I am going back into business in the near future and love hearing entrepreneurial tales and words of wisdom form those that have succeeded. Keep up the great work, you’re a true inspiration.

Cheers,
Troy Johnston

My guest today is Nick Radge. Radge operates The Chartist (www.thechartist.com.au). He began trading in 1985. During a stint working for an investment bank in Singapore Nick dedicated his evenings testing trading strategies; 2 hours a day for 18 months, a total of at least 750 hours. Nick’s first book, Every-Day Traders (John Wiley & Sons Australia Ltd, 2003), was written to identify the traits of successful traders.

The topic is his book Unholy Grails – A New Road to Wealth.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • How the trend following world is foreign to many people
  • The importance of drawing distinctions between traditional value investing and alternative systems like trend following
  • How the name of the game for many fund managers is not necessarily performance but funds under management
  • Playing the game of mathematics vs. playing the game of picking the right stocks
  • Why the US stock market has gone straight up despite all the fear going on elsewhere in the world, and why you shouldn’t “fight the tape”
  • Closet trend followers
  • Why price can’t be faked
  • Trade restrictions, cultural attitudes, and the importance of being able to step out of the crowd
  • Why individuals have an advantage over fund managers
  • The value of understanding trend following even when you don’t actually use it as a strategy
  • Spotting ‘trends’, how you can’t spot a trend until it’s started or until it’s over, and using hitchhiking as an analogy for trading
  • How trend following is useful when outlier events and black swans appear
  • Using rules and strategies to fight fear
  • The difficulty of using Warren Buffett as an example, and the problems that arise when managing larger amounts of money
  • Radge’s thoughts on being an entrepreneur
