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.

Here's a little fun, combative interview I did recently.

James Early was kind enough to invite me on his show,

and what follows is that interview. I hope you enjoy. When I was in my mid-30s, I took a push-up, boot camp calisynics class just for fun with a friend.

I noticed next door there was this raucous dance exercise class going on.

And all my life, I've been afraid of dancing, and I'm not very good at dancing.

But I figured I need to get out of my comfort zone. I'm going to go try this thing. The thing that I've been afraid of dancing, and I'm not very good at dancing. But I figured I need to get out of my comfort zone.

I'm going to go try this thing.

The thing that I'm most afraid of, I went way in the back behind this big industrial-sized fan,

and I realized I wasn't actually the worst person in the room.

There were people worse to me.

I got so into, I ended up starting a dance fitness business myself with one of the instructors. It's a long and weird story. And that is a very weird connection to my interview today, but it is thematically applicable because in the area of investing, I have always been a fundamental analyst at a hedge fund.

When I ran a research department, it was always about fundamental investing, long short. And

today, I'm trying to get

out of my comfort zone a little bit. And maybe if you're like me, you can get out of yours a little bit

as well. We have someone who is really a world round expert in trend following or momentum investing

strategies to use the academic term. His name is Michael Covel. I saw Michael speak in Las Vegas four or five years

ago and was impressed. And now he's on my own show today. Michael, besides having the trendfollowing.com
