This is Trend Following Radio, where great thinking comes alive.

Nobel Prize winners, legendary traders, bestselling authors, and the pros that know what drive us irrational human beings.

I am your host, Michael Covel, not filtered, raw, honest.

That's my passion.

I'm feeling generous today.

What follows is the preface and the first chapter of my book,

the best selling The Complete Turtle Trader. I don't know what it is about this story and with me,

but it's just a fabulous story. It gets at so many issues in life and success and failure.

Now again, this is just the preface in the first chapter.

So hopefully I will wet your whistle to go take a look and dive a little bit deeper and actually finish the book.

Because I guarantee you if you do finish and you do have some understanding of money and investing,

or if you have no understanding of money and investing, this book will wake you up. Without any further delay,

let's jump right into the preface and the first chapter of my book, a gazelle wakes up.

It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion, or it will be killed.

Every morning a lion wakes up.

It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.

When the sun comes up, you better start running.
