You're about to join Neil's Kostrup Larson on a 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 Series.

Welcome and welcome back to this week's edition of the Systematic Investor series with Mark Recibsinski and I, Niels Castro-Larsen, where each week we take the polls of the global markets through the lens of a rules-based investor.

Mark, it is great to be back with you this week. How are you doing? Not too bad. Not too bad.

Middle of the summer, you know, we'll probably sort of save my town. I think more people are going out on vacation or they should be starting in August and the place empties out. So that's when I like

my town the most. It's relatively empty. It's pretty empty here in Zook

at the moment, I have to say. But, you know, what date is, it is the day where the Olympic starts,

which is very exciting in many ways. And so I obviously hope you are ready for it. I don't know

if you are interested in these type of events,

but it inspired me a little bit to bring up a kind of a surprise question for you, Mark,

because I know you're up for it.

Okay.

So the silly and surprise question is,

if trend following was an Olympic sport, which one would you say it is?

Ooh, that's a good one. So if it was the winter Olympics, then it would be, you know, those guys who do

this ski jumping, where it could would be you know those those guys who do this ski jumping

that uh where it could be you know either graceful or the agony of defeat uh and a crash uh

because we see these ups and downs with managed futures now in um in summer olympics it's not really, it's harder to say, but I think it's closer to more long distance running as opposed to a sprint.

You know what? It's so funny. I mean, when I thought of this silly question a few minutes ago, I didn't necessarily have a good answer myself.

So I asked Chad GBT because I thought, who else to ask?

But actually, you're spot on.
