My guest today is Laura Huang, a preeminent Harvard Business School professor, shows that success is about gaining an edge: that elusive quality that gives you an upper hand and attracts attention and support. Some people seem to naturally have it. Now, Huang teaches the rest of us how to create our own from the challenges and biases we think hold us back, and turning them to work in our favor.

The topic is her book Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Huang draws from her award-winning research on entrepreneurial intuition, persuasion, and implicit decision-making, to impart her profound findings and share stories of previously-overlooked Olympians, assistants-turned-executives, and flailing companies that made momentous turnarounds. Through her deeply-researched framework, Huang shows how we can turn weaknesses into strengths and create an edge in any situation. She explains how an entrepreneur scored a massive investment despite initially being disparaged for his foreign accent, and how a first-time political candidate overcame voters’ doubts about his physical disabilities.

Ep. 845: Michael Malone Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Feb 28, 2020

My guest today is Michael Shawn Malone, an American author, columnist, editor, investor, businessman, television producer, and has been the host of several shows on PBS. Currently (2009), Malone is a columnist for ABC News, an op-ed contributor for The Wall Street Journal, a contributing editor to Wired, and the editor-in-chief of Edgelings.com, a website focused on business and technology news in Silicon Valley. He graduated from Santa Clara University in 1975, and received his MBA from SCU in 1977.

The topic is his book The Autonomous Revolution: Reclaiming the Future We’ve Sold to Machines.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

William H. Davidow and Michael S. Malone go deeply into the enormous implications of these developments. They show why increases in productivity no longer translate into increases in the GDP and how zero cost, one-to-many communications have been turned into tools for cybercrime and propaganda. Many of the book’s recommendations–such as using taxes to control irresponsible internet behavior and enabling people to put their data into what are essentially virtual personal information “safety deposit boxes”–are bold and visionary, but we must figure out how we will deal with these emerging challenges now, before the Autonomous Revolution overcomes us.

Ep. 843: Rob Markey Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Feb 21, 2020

My guest today is Rob Markey, a partner and director at Bain & Company and the founder of the firm’s Global Customer Strategy and Marketing practice. He is a coauthor of The Ultimate Question 2.0 and is the host of the Net Promoter System podcast.

The topic is his writing Are You Undervaluing Your Customers?

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Bain & Company partner Rob Markey argues most companies are too focused on earnings at the expense of customers. Instead they should measure and report “customer value” to investors, like Costco, Amex and Humana do, with consistent metrics that allow investors and other stakeholders to judge a company’s true value compared to competitors.

While most advice guides encourage you to change your inherent characteristics to get the job, get the promotion, get the client, Bonnell and Hansberger identify a different approach: instead of trying to conform, march to the beat of your own drum. By following your own path, you’ll find your success.

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.

In Unholy Grails–A New Road to Wealth, Radge outlines simple strategies to make money during uptrends and how to defend capital when the markets turn down. Nick is a Director at The Chartist, a stock market advisory service based in Queensland, Australia.

The topic is trading.

How to handle a “down round,” when startups have to raise funds at a lower valuation than in the previous round?
What to do when VCs get too entangled in the day-to-day operations of the business?
Why you need to build relationships with potential acquirers long before you decide to sell?

Ep. 787: Matt Kepnes Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Aug 09, 2019

My guest today is Matt Kepnes, an American travel blogger. Kepnes was born in Boston. At 23, he had never left the United States but in 2005 he took a trip to Thailand. The trip convinced Kepnes to quit his job, finish his MBA, and begin traveling the world and blogging about his experiences.

The topic is his book Ten Years a Nomad.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

After meeting some travelers on a trip to Thailand in 2005, he realized that living life meant more than simply meeting society’s traditional milestones, such as buying a car, paying a mortgage, and moving up the career ladder. Inspired by them, he set off for a year-long trip around the world before he started his career. He finally came home after ten years.

Ep. 785: Daniel Cable Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Aug 02, 2019

My guest today is Dan Cable, a Professor of Organizational Behavior at London Business School, and he believes he has the answer, or at least the tools, to equip people that want more out of their nine-to-five existence. His book Alive at Work shows many of the reasons for unhappiness at work. Organizations aren’t encouraging us to explore and learn, so we often find ourselves only partially engaged in work. The book is filled with real-world examples and outlines how both employees and leaders can ignite the curiosity and passion that drives us to achieve.

The topic is his book The Neuroscience of Helping Your People Love What They Do.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

One of our fundamental desires as humans is our need to feel useful. The process of creating something or building a skill is at the center of a fulfilling life. This is problematic when you consider the world we live in today. So many jobs are characterized by menial tasks, endless meetings, and little tangible impact. How can we redefine the way we get things done to better reflect our basic needs?

The topic is his book Start at the End: How to Build Products That Create Change.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Matt argues that the purpose of everything is behavior change. By starting with outcomes instead of processes, the most effective companies understand what people want to do and why they aren’t already doing it, then build products and services to bridge the gap.

Ep. 765: David Weinberger Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio May 24, 2019

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Through stories from history, business, and technology, philosopher and technologist David Weinberger finds the unifying truths lying below the surface of the tools we take for granted–and a future in which our best strategy often requires holding back from anticipating and instead creating as many possibilities as we can. The book’s imperative for business and beyond is simple: Make. More. Future. The result is a world no longer focused on limitations but optimized for possibilities.

Ep. 763: Thales Teixeria Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio May 17, 2019

My guest today is Thales Teixeira. Based on eight years of research visiting dozens of startups, tech companies and incumbents, Harvard Business School professor Thales Teixeira shows how and why consumer industries are disrupted, and what established companies can do about it—while highlighting the specific strategies potential startups use to gain a competitive edge.

The topic is his book Unlocking the Customer Value Chain: How Decoupling Drives Consumer Disruption.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

As Teixeira makes clear, the nature of competition has fundamentally changed. Using innovative new business models, startups are stealing customers by breaking the links in how consumers discover, buy and use products and services. By decoupling the customer value chain, these startups, instead of taking on the Unilevers and Nikes, BMW’s and Sephoras of the world head on, peel away a piece of the consumer purchasing process.

My guest today is Amy Webb, an American futurist, author and founder and CEO of the Future Today Institute. She is professor of strategic foresight at New York University’s Stern School of Business, and was a 2014-15 Visiting Nieman Fellow at Harvard University.

The topic is her book The Big Nine: How the Tech Titans and Their Thinking Machines Could Warp Humanity.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

In this book, Amy Webb reveals the pervasive, invisible ways in which the foundations of AI–the people working on the system, their motivations, the technology itself–is broken. Within our lifetimes, AI will, by design, begin to behave unpredictably, thinking and acting in ways which defy human logic. The big nine corporations may be inadvertently building and enabling vast arrays of intelligent systems that don’t share our motivations, desires, or hopes for the future of humanity.

Ep. 709: Paul Britton Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Nov 09, 2018

My guest today is Paul Britton, a portfolio manager at Apollo Systems Research Corporation. In high school Paul’s dad put him into a stock that went from $5 to $60. He took his profit and put money into a couple more stocks that turned out to be winners as well. These lucky trades peaked his interest in markets. Shortly after making these initial trades, Paul’s dad also gave him a copy of “Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.” He started working and looking at data trying to see if he could get a system of his own to work. He quickly learned that you can play around with entry and exit points, markets, etc., but as long as you pick up on the big trends and ride them until they lose–that was the #1 way to make money.

The topic is Trend Following.

Ep. 675: Jerry Muller Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Jul 13, 2018

My guest today is Jerry Muller, a professor of history at The Catholic University of America, where he has taught since 1984. His latest book is “The Tyranny of Metrics.” Quantifying metrics can be a good thing, however, it can easily go too far and have great consequences. Jerry sees pitfalls of focusing too much on metrics everywhere – schools, hospitals, even venture capital. Children gear their learning toward beating a test rather than intellectually developing their mind. Doctors fixate on standardized performance measures, rewards and punishment, and publicized accountability. The system encourages and sometimes requires doctors to game the system. Venture capitalism, the very field where creativity should prosper, tends to foster an anti-creative atmosphere. Investors want to see data to back up a new product so they can see proof of a future profit.

The topic is his book The Tyranny of Metrics.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Intrinsic motivation
Tyranny of metrics
Metric fixation
Metrics in law enforcement
Metrics in health industry
Managerial ideology
Powerpoint presentations
Metrics in China

Ep. 673: Christopher Ryan Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Jul 06, 2018

My guest today is Christopher Ryan, best known for co-authoring “Sex at Dawn.” The book deals with the evolution of monogamy in humans and human mating systems. In opposition to what the authors see as the “standard narrative” of human sexual evolution, they contend that having multiple sexual partners was common and accepted in the environment of evolutionary adaptedness. One of the more pivotal moments was when he was an undergraduate in college. He was able to skip his junior year of college and subsequently hitchhiked to Alaska. Before that journey to Alaska, he thought the world was a dangerous place. Once he got outside his bubble and met strangers, he learned how kind and generous people were. It shifted the way he thought about life and the world.

The topic is his book Sex at Dawn.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Monogamy
Hunter and gatherer society
Agricultural revolution
Culture of women sexuality
Sexual transmitted disease
War on masturbation
Social groups

He came across a book at his library that mathematically proved he could “beat the house.” At age 14 Aaron knew he could walk into a poker game and walk out with his opponents money. He gambled into his early 20’s until he realized the real money to be made was on Wall Street.

The topic is risk management and gambling.

Ep. 658: Matthew Walker Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio May 14, 2018

My guest today is Matthew Walker, a Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and Founder and Director of the Center for Human Sleep Science. His new book is “Why We Sleep.” Matthew’s mission is to reunite humanity with sleep. He learned insufficient sleep is linked to ALL of the top killers in civilized countries. The average adult only sleeps 6 hours and 31 minutes. The disease and suffering that is present because of lack of sleep has become his motivator to instill change. So how much sleep do we need? If you are not getting at least 7-9 hours of sleep a day, you are not acting at optimal performance. Most who think they can operate at full capacity with 6 hours of sleep have become numb to the state they live in. They have forgotten, or perhaps have never known, what their optimal performance looks and feels like.

The topic is sleep science.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Sleep deprivation
Alcohol and sleep
Marijuana and sleep
Insomnia
Dream sleep
School start times

His books include How To Survive The Most Critical 5 Seconds Of Your Life and Survive The Unthinkable. His newest book is When Violence Is the Answer: Learning How to Do What It Takes When Your Life Is at Stake. Tim’s father was an officer in the Navy. He knew at the age of 13 he was going to be a Navy Seal. His whole adolescence and early adulthood was dedicated to that goal. After college he started his Seal training.

This was the first time, at age 21, his body had failed him. Sometimes the smallest things, like an eardrum bursting, can change your whole course of life. This lesson learned early on by Tim translates to everything he now teaches.

My guest today is Mike Salguero, a serial entrepreneur. His newest venture is Butcher Box – delivering meat from the farm straight to your door. He got his start in the business space selling t-shirts in high school and continued making t-shirts throughout college.

Ep. 510: Milton Friedman Returns with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Dec 12, 2016

My guest today is Milton Friedman, one of Michael’s favorite dead guests to bring on the podcast. Milton foreshadows Uber, talks about the deep state (without mentioning the deep state), brings up airline service and monopoly. His solutions to problems in government 35 years ago were to cut government spending, hold monetary growth back and cut regulations. The same solutions to government are at the forefront of American politics today. Today, Michael curates two interviews between Phil Donahue and Milton Friedman. These interviews were recorded back in the 1980’s, but many of the points made are more relevant today than ever.

The topic is airline service and monopoly.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Government spending
Liberty in trading
Government regulation
Unknowingly supporting private interests
How to prevent monopoly
Legalizing drugs
Prohibition

Josh breaks apart the trading industry, highlighting many of the cons associated with the mutual fund space. Josh has always had a passion for math. He started looking at the performance of different funds within Goldman. As soon as he started to look at returns of some, he began to see a disconnect. They would judge themselves off “beating the index” but they were still losing massive amounts of money. They would also have access to CEO’s of top companies and still not be able to make money off of the information they would share. This is when he began to transition out of the company and turn to other forms of trading, not just long only.

The topic is Trend Following.

Ep. 336: Colin Camerer Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Apr 17, 2015

My guest today is Colin Camerer, an American behavioral economist and a Robert Kirby Professor of Behavioral Finance and Economics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). Camerer’s research is on the interface between cognitive psychology and economics. This work seeks a better understanding of the psychological and neurobiological basis of decision-making in order to determine the validity of models of human economic behavior. His research uses mostly economics experiments—and occasionally field studies—to understand how people behave when making decisions (e.g., risky gambles for money), in games, and in markets (e.g., speculative price bubbles).

The topics are cognitive psychology and economics.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Why Camerer was called a child prodigy, and how he looks at that term in the context of nurture vs. nature
Synthesizing behavioral economics and neuroscience; understanding Camerer’s studies when traders aren’t looking at the market on a day-to-day basis; how we can stimulate the brain to create a bubble
The ethical issues surrounding Camerer’s work
Machine learning and data mining
Neuroscience and game theory
Comparing humans and chimps in the study of neuroscience
How trust correlates with economic growth
How emotion functions in the modern world

Why a good trader trades their own self first, and the importance of choosing yourself and making a consistent inner life
The need to become an entrepreneur and artist in today's climate, and why you might be looking down the barrel of a career in temp staffing if you don't
The collapse of the middle class and 9-5 "jobs" as we know them
The importance of doing the un-obvious
Why you're only as valuable as your network
The need to exercise your idea muscle
Sunk costs and opportunity costs
Breaking the cycle of consumerism, buying memories and not buying objects
Commitment bias
Finding a career at 27, Stan Lee of Marvel Comics, endurance, and the importance of doing something for yourself today

Ep. 116: Jerry Parker Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Apr 10, 2013

My guest today is Jerry Parker. In 1983, Parker was accepted into the Turtle Program, a select investment training program developed by successful Chicago portfolio manager Richard Dennis. He appears in Covel's "The Complete TurtleTrader" and has been the most successful TurtleTrader. Parker founded Chesapeake Capital Corporation, a global investment manager headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, in 1988.

The topic is Trend Following.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Mistake of combining different strategies with trend following, and the importance of having a concentrated strategy that you can rely on
How discretionary moves can get in the way of your system, and "systematized discretion"
The psychological effect of following a trend following strategy for decades
The idea of going for positive expected value over what's least risky
Why Parker doesn't like to use the term "managed futures", and why it doesn't really tell the story of trend followers
Trend followers performing well at different points in time compared to long-only
Using trend following as another strategy for investors who only invest through a long-only value-based system
The importance of not letting your views on politics and society influence your trading, and maintaining a systematic and disciplined approach
The growth of news media since 1984, information overflow, limiting your variables, and using price as your primary indicator
How Parker has learned over the years to deal with drawdowns, loving your losses, and the importance the Turtle program played in his education on drawdowns
Why governments are the ultimate counter-trend traders
Why buy and hold is not a good place to be even if people are saying it's turned around
Parker's stock-only trend following program, and why the diversified program will do better than the stock-only system
Leverage as a tool

How the name of the game for many fund managers is not necessarily performance but funds under management

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

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

Ep. 95: Chris Kacher and Gil Morales Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Jan 04, 2013

My guests today are Chris Kacher and Gil Morales.

Kacher is the co-founder of TriQuantum Technologies, a holding company for KJA wherein he is the lead portfolio manager. Dr. Kacher's metrics have called every major top & bottom in bitcoin since 2011 to within a few weeks of the top. He was up in 2018 vs the average performing crypto hedge fund at -54% (PwC).

Morales was personally recruited by Bill O’Neil himself to join William O’Neil + Company, Inc. as a Vice -President and Manager of the Institutional Services Division, responsible for advising over 600 institutional investor clients, and as an internal portfolio manager responsible for managing a portion of the firm’s proprietary, internal assets. From 1997 to 2005 he achieved a return of approximately 2100% in his portion of the firm's proprietary account. In 2004 he was named Chief Market Strategist at William O’Neil + Company, Inc.

The topic is their book In The Trading Cockpit with the O'Neil Disciples: Strategies that Made Us 18,000% in the Stock Market.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

The "O.W.L." ethos, and the story behind it
Reversion to the mean mentality, and how it can often be the kiss of death for traders and investors
Trading psychology, the idea that "you must lose to win", how the least important statistic is your percentage of gains v. losses in your trading account
Dealing with emotionalism and why clients often want to hear something that will make them feel better
Teaching people to let go of the news and simply watch the price action
Why people think that "this time is different", put their trust in the central economy, and why trend following will survive into the future
Understanding that investing is always a process of changing along the way
What mental clutter in the way of fears, biases, concerns and more can build up in the mind and get in the way of clear and decisive decision-making

The efficient market theory

My guest today is Jack Schwager, a recognized industry expert in futures and hedge funds and the author of a number of widely acclaimed financial books. Schwager is one of the founders of Fund Seeder, a platform designed to find undiscovered trading talent worldwide and connect unknown successful traders with sources of investment capital.

Comparing performance streams against each other, and why you have to consider more than just the number
Volatility vs. risk
If coming to a good risk adjusted return is based more on a scientific approach or personal preference
Leveraged ETFs
The fear of hedge funds
The idea of leverage and why much of "Market Sense and Nonsense" was built around trying to understand it
Why fund-to-fund managers putting a large group of trend following traders together in one portfolio might not be a wise move
Presidential election and discuss why whoever is selected to be the next president might not make much of a difference in the markets

Drawdowns

Interesting experience he had at a panel in November of 2008 where he explained, in song, how he wasn't able to predict the markets
How ego can hurt you in the trend following world, why a majority will never really want to adopt a trend following perspective, and the zen of accepting that you'll never be able to accurately predict where the markets might go.
