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.

Finally, after an extended sojourn, back in the saddle, back in Asia, back in Ho Chi Minh City, back in Saigon.

As I recuperate and recover from a little jet lag, please enjoy four episodes back to back to back to back.

A little risk management, a little liberty, a little metrics, and a little sleep.

By the way, as a complete side tangent, there is a melatonin that you can buy at CVS that is the bomb.

I'll have to post a picture.

I don't really have any sleep issues, but occasionally

you feel like you're hung over the next day. This stuff I've found is great. Product placement over.

Let's jump right in to four episodes. Like I said, a little risk management,

a little liberty, a little metrics, and-related issues, most famously known as the former chief risk manager at AQR Capital Management, one of the biggest

funds in the world, I believe, north of $100 billion.

You have to think that if Cliff Astin is signed off on hiring Aaron Brown, there must be something

Send me your thank you in email for that one alone.

To listen to Aaron describe something like a simple card game and the history of America and how it all
