Description

In his book "Trend Commandments" Michael Covel included a "cheat sheet" for the reader. It opens up with this quote: "Golf is not safe. My grandfather died playing golf. Speaking up is not safe. People might be offended. Innovation is not safe. You'll fail; perhaps badly. Now that we've got that out of the way, what are you going to do about it? Hide? Crouch in a corner and work as hard as you can to fit in? That's not safe either. Might as well do something that matters instead." The cheat sheet focuses on core principles of trend following trading: profit in up and down markets; no more buy & hold, analysts or news; no prediction; the big money of letting profits run; risk management; a scientific approach to trading; strong historical performance during crisis periods; no traditional diversification; ride the horse that's winning; no government reliance; and taking advantage of mass psychology. In his last podcast before Christmas 2012 Covel gives a cheat sheet podcast of sorts too; he presents invaluable audio clips from his collection of great trend following traders. These legendary traders include William Eckhardt; Bill Dunn (talking about risk management from his perspective); and Jerry Parker (talking about the difference between mean reversion and trend following). Why is it hard to accept their principles outlined? They sound rational and reasonable, right? Covel also excerpts a speech from Elizabeth Cheval to explain her view of chronocentricity. Covel continues on with three clips from David Harding of Winton Capital Management and again asks the question, "Why don't we all go his way?" Unfortunately, much of the wisdom illustrated is not accepted or taught in mainstream education. Covel ends with a clip from author Seth Godin to help illustrate why current education models are dead ends. There is a way out, but waking up is a first step to financial freedom.
