0:00.0 | I had one other tweet that didn't get a lot of interest, but I liked it. It was one of my favorites. |
0:08.7 | Good. Good topic. It's one of my topics I like to hammer on. Yeah. And it was the title of this article I read was evolution and adaption, trend followers are constantly changing. |
0:23.5 | And my point was some are constantly changing or they say they're changing. |
0:29.4 | The key is to know what to change or what to never change. |

1:28.9 | unquote, the markets have changed. They always change when we lose money. We're always worried |

1:41.6 | 2012. We underperformed and we went in and we decided to make some changes. |
1:48.0 | And there were reasonable philosophical changes, not data mining, but we sort of identified that we were getting in trades too quickly, putting on the whole trade at one time, basically. |
