Ep. 799: Paul Gulino Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Sep 20, 2019

Show notes

My guest today is Paul Gulino, an Associate Professor at Lawrence and Kristina Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. He believes in Hitchcock's adage that "films are made on paper." Although students may obsess about a film's look, all of the visual elements, he says, function to enhance the story. And that, ultimately, comes from the mind of the screenwriter.

The topic is screenwriting.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

What if your biggest weaknesses are actually your greatest strengths?
They bring their wisdom and insights to this radical "outside the box" business guide written specifically for the mavericks, oddballs, and visionaries they call Rare Breeds. 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.

Ep. 791: Nick Radge Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio Aug 23, 2019

Show notes

My guest today is Nick Radge. He began trading in 1985. 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. Nick's first book, Every-Day Traders, was written to identify the traits of successful traders. What do successful traders do that is different to other traders? In Adaptive Analysis for Australian Stocks, Nick shows his readers how to use price action to make the most of their winning trades and, often more importantly, to quickly recognize a losing trade and exit their position. 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.
