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.

No big intro on my guest today.

Tom Baso has appeared many times on this podcast, a favorite guest of just

about everyone. I actually have at this very moment a new book out about Tom called Trend Following

Mindset. You might want to check that out. Tom and I just appeared on a webinar, an event in Singapore, hosted by Colin Seow.

Colin, a friend of mine for a long time.

He's had me speak at many events in Singapore.

And this was kind of all over the map and quite fun with Tom.

So sit back and I hope you enjoy this conversation with Tom Basso, one that was kindly hosted by Colin Seow in Singapore.

Please enjoy.

Thank you. I noticed that Tom liked something on my Facebook in the last 24 hours.

And I want to read what he liked. It was a tweet or something that I quoted from a guy named Perik Patel,

CFA. It looks like an Indian guy, so CFA. And he said on this tweet, the best performing assets of

2021 are, number one, a failing video game retailer, number two, a cinema chain close to bankruptcy,

and number three, a dog-themed cryptocurrency. Now, in most parts of the investing world,

people might start laughing, and even in the Trinfong world, we might start laughing. But I have a sneaky suspicion that when Tom saw that, yes, he might start laughing. And even in the triumfying world, we might start laughing.

But I have a sneaky suspicion that when Tom saw that, yes, he might have chuckled,

but he said to himself, I don't care what those things are. I could trade them. Is that fair, Tom?

That's fair. I actually like the whole thing because it shows a little bit of the absurdity of the markets
