Reviews
A recent interview with Michael Covel on Bloomberg Radio (6.5 MB MP3 audio file) about trend following. "Please read [Trend Following] whether you think you have an interest in trend following or are not quite sure. I guarantee you will be happy that you took the time. It, of course, covers how trend following works, how it's done, and who can do it, and it doesn't beat around the bush with generalities. Again, get this book. Covel has hit a homerun with it." Gail Osten, Editor-in-Chief Stocks, Futures & Options Magazine Official Journal for Personal Investing in Stocks, Futures and Options "A mandatory reference for anyone serious about alternative investments." Jon Sundt, President and CEO of Altegris "Michael Covel does an excellent job of educating his readers about the little-known opportunities available to them through one of the proven best hedge fund strategies. This book is like gold to any smart investor." Christian Baha, CEO, Superfund "A most interesting book -- definitely a 'must have' on your shelf. Pull out the plastic and get it!...Trend Following is well constructed, well written and an excellent distillation of the research undertaken by the author. Backed up by trading 'legends' like Ed Seykota, it convincingly argues that the most successful trading systems are based on trend following...While you may read the book in bed, especially the first time, it is best read at a desk with a notepad handy. While seeming to come from the perspective of technical analysis it is still a very good book on trading psychology...The book is both a great read and an insightful textbook for all traders and investors." Garnett Znidaric Your Trading EdgeMagazine/strong> Australia "Michael Covel's Trend Following: Essential." Ed Seykota Trend Follower for 35 years, Incline Village, NV The Trading Tribe Ed was originally profiled in The Market Wizards by Jack Schwager "Michael Covel's book is the definitive guide to trend trading. Backed by real world results from some of the biggest and best money managers in the United States, his book will put you on the path to successful trend trading." Larry Connors CEO, TradingMarkets.com "Covel has created a very rare thing - a well-documented and thoroughly researched book on trend following that is also well-written and easy to read. It touches on a wide variety of the principles and practices which make for successful trend following. This is one book that traders at all levels will find of real value." John Mauldin Millennium Wave Investments, Arlington, TX Author of Bull's Eye Investing and editor of Thoughts from the Frontline "I think the book did a superb job of covering the philosophy and thinking behind trend following (basically why it works). You might call it the Market Wizards of Trend Following." Van K. Tharp, Ph.D. Author of Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom President, International Institute of Trading Mastery, Inc. Van was originally profiled in The Market Wizards by Jack Schwager.

    A very interesting book to read!

    Very interesting book for those who want/need to maximize income versus persons content with what they have in the way of stocks and are not so concerned about the market fluctuations. For those who have the time to devote to watching the stock market, it is a very interesting approach on how to view stock market data.
