You're about to join Jerry Parker, Maritz Siebert, and Neil's Kastrup Larson on their raw and honest journey into the world of systematic investing and learn about the most dependable and consistent yet often overlooked investment strategy.

Welcome to the Systematic Investor podcast series.

Jerry Parker, Moritz Siebert and I, Niels Castro-Blasen, are back with this week's edition

of the Systematic Investor Series, where we share our experiences, the ups and the downs of

what it's like to be a rules-based investor, and of course, where we take your questions.

And as usual, let me start by saying saying good morning to you, Jerry, and good

afternoon to you, Moritz. Good morning. Good afternoon, Niels. Good morning, Jerry.

Now, before I forget, I want to mention that next week, the technical guards permitting, we

will be joined by the one and only MEP Faber, which we are very excited about and we hope

that you will send us some of your questions for MEP Faber, which we are very excited about and we hope that you will send us some

of your questions for MEP in the coming days so we can prepare all of that.

Now this week we saw some strong moves in some of the sectors.

Energies in particular were incredibly strong.

I'm just looking at the screen here, almost 9% up move in gasoline, so that's definitely

a strong week, but all the other energies did well as well.

And we had equities, which also had a nice tailwind, and fixed income markets markets probably a bit soft as far as I can tell

and so were some of the grains at least that's what I sort of picked up so why don't we just do as we

normally do jump into it see what happens and maybe start out you, Morris, just to see how the week went from your trend following perspective?

Yeah, happy to do that. So finally, finally, a positive week, all by it small, but, you know, I'll take it.

Energy is just like you said, Niels, they've been great for the portfolio,

long gasoline, long and crude, all of that was good. I'm now less short in some of the

equities. Still have some shorts on, but they're getting smaller, moving much more to work
