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 Coval, not filtered, raw, honest.

That's my passion.

I want to welcome everyone into 2019.

I hope to continue on this podcast journey, health willing, sanity willing, that I don't go crazy or something like that.

I don't think that will happen, though.

I enjoy this too much.

I enjoy the process of communication, passing along insights, doing interviews.

It's quite fun. You should all try it. Now you might say to yourself, I have no experience in that.

Well, guess what? I didn't have any fucking experience either. You just start. You just do it.

Now, before I get into where I want to roll today, I have some distinct market views, so to speak.

Not market views like some of you might think, but market process views.

Always a little bit different here on the trend following podcast.

But before I get into that, I want to offer a little PSA, something that I may or may not have said on this podcast before.

But I sent some Christmas money because I was not in the same area to my niece and two nephews, all teenagers.

And then I dropped the three of them a text, a group text.

And I said, hey, don't use the money to buy drugs or tequila one of my nephews said well that's

nice advice thank you and then I followed up with I said look maybe you wake up the next day and this is

if you're drinking if you're out getting drunk and all that kind of stuff I said look maybe you wake up

the next day and there's a baby or your underwear is in a tree or you are in jail naked, avoid booze, end quote, Michael Cavell.

You can actually quote me on that.
