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 going to play a chapter from my audio book for my book, Train Commandments.

But before I play it, a little setup, media is so invasive, so pervasive, so everywhere with the same voices for so long, we forget about how much bullshit it is. We forget that these people are reading teleprompters. We forget that these people are not the best and the brightest.

They're hired hands. They're flunkies. They're pushed out there to say something that a big corporation wants to say.

Maybe it's bullshit.

Maybe it's just to attract eyeballs.

Maybe they're just dumber than a box of rocks.

and they listen, and they don't often question. They don't know to question. They hear something

on some talk show, some financial talk show, some interview. They accept it as face value. I'm not very

good at accepting anything at face value. Not to go into it again because I have a longstanding

dislike for something like a CNBC. Not a hatred or anything. It is what it is.

trend follower David Harding, it shows how Kernan doesn't have a clue.
