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

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

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

That's my passion.

I love gaping void.com.

Guy named Hugh McLeod.

He's written some cool books.

He does these cartoons with these just great expressions.

And I caught a picture of one.

I guess it's an office.

There's a big poster on the wall and it says fanatical.

Kiss any hope of ever leading a normal life goodbye.

And, you know, I like to think of myself, hopefully that I can impart that upon people.

That if you listen to the words that I say, if you listen to the direction that I go, perhaps the slightly overdone, impassioned enthusiasm that I bring, that you will also come to see your life as fanatical.

And the normal life will go away.

The suburban two-car garage thing where you sit there and you just sit on the couch and do whatever. No, no, no, no,

that's no good. You have to come to Asia and have lunch with me or dinner with me. Now, of course,

you will have to pass a test and have to make sure that you're not a nut job because believe

or not, I actually have a stalker. I have some lunatic stalker. And I'm not going to name him, but I have a nutjob who

apparently sends me weird emails and let's hope he doesn't show up one day and do a silence

of the lambs on me. And I become filet mignon and I'm being roasted over some pit in some foreign

country because I can tell you, this guy's weird.
