Trend Following-Trend Commandments

Yes, these things come and go. But the problem with a 35% dd is you have to make >50% to get back to flat. http://bit.ly/HQPgyr

 

What about the multiple -50% DDs the S&P has taken in the last decade? DD is not the issue. The issue is us humans who like to pretend the world is neat, orderly, predictable and in a straight line.

 

Anyone attend MC's keynote address last week in NYC? If so, what was the takeaway? http://symposium.mta.org/technical-analysis-agenda/

If there is someone on ET who I should be interviewing ... let me know!

Make a podcast out of it.

 

Are the podcasts transcribed? Like most people, I'd rather read than listen; it's faster. I would suggest prioritizing that over conducting new interviews.

 

Thanks RK I value the input, but maybe there is an easy tech solution out there for you/others where Google turns audio to text?! Right now the feedback on podcast episodes, audio, has been overwhelmingly positive.

Perhaps, in the future. In a perfect world its video, audio and text!

 

I don't know of one offhand, but the cost via http://www.verbalink.com/ or a similar vendor is negligible, maybe $50 per podcast.

Re positive response to the podcasts, I don't doubt they're good, but, like everyone, there's only so much time in a day...
