Snoop Dogg vs. Trend Following Radio

Posted on by Michael Covel

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.

[Name]

Thank you.

“Love the pod and I love following the trend…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Recent email conversation:

Listener: Great story about the smarmy motherfucker with a popular hipster podcast. That had to be [Name]. Love the pod and I love following the trend.

[Name] makes interesting observations and is definitely an intelligent guy. He is a charlatanical self-promoter, however, and after reading his books it is clear to me that he would sell anything to make a buck and I question his ethics and moral compass.

Keep up the great work!

Covel: Not [Name]! He was on my show.

Listener: I was wrong! Well, the culprit must not be on my radar. Love your books!

Ep. 351: Logical Fallacies and Zero Sum with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

Posted on by Michael Covel

Michael Covel offers a reminder of how to think and act when responding to certain types of questioning and the translation to markets. Covel can think of no more perfect example than the “greed” exchange between Milton Friedman and Phil Donahue. Covel discusses Milton Friedman more and brings and expands the discussion into the general take-down of bullshit. Covel also discusses the importance of 'losers' (see: zero sum) in the market and why people acting irrationally offers perpetual opportunities for trend following traders. Next, a personal anecdote regarding a pre-interview for a podcast, Maria Bartiromo, and the fundamental question: “Why will trend following continue to excel?” Finally, Covel moves onto a healthy bit of advice in risk management for your trading.
