Michael, an interesting ‘trend following’ article, in the ‘main stream’ media, not bashing, just warning on the ups and downs.
Have a great day!
Thanks.

CNBC: One of the U.K.’s most successful hedge fund managers [David Harding in pic] has spoken of the benefits of using the “emotionless systematic approach”.
Covel: That’s another way of saying trend following.

Would very much appreciate if you could forward this email on to Jim [Rogers].
We have some great friends that have been living in Singapore for some time now. A few years back they persuaded my wife and I and our 2 young kids to jump on a plane and travel half way round the world to see them. We now obviously have the Asia bug and go over every year to get our fix–traveling around whilst we are there. It’s amazing how opinionated people are on Singapore–mostly the ones that have never been. We just love it. Anyway whilst at the airport waiting for our flight back to the UK, I was constantly being pestered by my 7-year old boy for a toy plane–specifically the one we would be traveling back on–the A380. I headed for the nearest gift shop and spent the next half an hour aimlessly browsing whilst the mini ‘pilot’ tried to make up his mind which color to have. Searching through the book section I stumbled across a copy of Jim’s ‘Street Smarts’. Perfect I thought, this will cheer up the 12-hour flight home.
As ‘both’ A380’s taxied down the runway. I opened Jim’s book to discover someone had scribbled on the front title page! On closer inspection I realized [he had signed it].
“Make life an adventure–Jim Rogers”
Having listened to your podcast interview 301 with him in Singapore, reading the signed copy made the whole book even more enjoyable.
Thank you to you both for your great books and inspiration/direction…just need to get a Covel book signed now.
Kind regards

Hi Michael,
I’ve read your books and am now onto the podcasts and really like the stuff. Very helpful. The podcasts are especially great because they can be digested easily while on the treadmill (as Jerry Parker says in your interviews).
So one of the realities of trend following is admitting you don’t know what comes next and to counter this inability to predict the future all markets will be traded to “diversify” hoping that one or two big winners pay for all the losers. In theory this is great. In practice, it can be rather difficult to get enough capital together to actually run a diverse portfolio of futures contracts…I suppose ETFs could work…Thoughts?
Thanks,

The best way to find diversity as a trend following trader, and trading a diversified tracking portfolio, is via one of three instruments:
1. futures
2. leaps
3. etfs (leveraged)
Those give coverage on all market types.

Dear Michael, I admire what you do and can relate to the concepts shared in your podcast.
For the past 12 months I’ve been developing a trend following expert advisor. The EA is currently running on a small live account. However, due to the account size it will be quite some time before I can make a living from it, which is an impending problem for me with a young family.
The backtests suggest the EA has got a lot of potential, but I’m at odds about where to take it from here. I’ve gone it alone up until now. You’re the first person I’ve approached about this. Can you offer me any advice or guidance as to my next course of action?
I’ve attached a backtest result for your perusal. I’m happy to provide more information as required.
Very Best Regards

Maybe the first step to overcome is thinking that alone is a problem. Maybe that is normal.

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