Film Reviews: "Broke: The New American Dream"

[Trend Following]

Quote from AFJ Garner:

As I think I have already patiently explained to you Michael, I have no need or desire to sell my book.

I make my living from trading the financial markets and have done so for many years. Books sales are an irrelevance to me. I leave all that to the publisher and good luck to them.

You will never find me promoting my book on this or any other forum. Indeed the subject would never even have been mentioned if you had not brought it up yourself.

No need or desire to sell your book? Why write it? Good luck to the publisher? You wrote the book! You have no stake in it? Hey, keep up whatever rationalization you have, but no one writes a book with the expectation that no one will read it.

At the end of the day I help others learn trend following. If you want to go teach others something you know, have learned new, etc. -- go for it. Personally, I prefer to do business and or collaborate with less angry and bitter types.

Best of luck.

So there we have it, for the record.

Michael Covel does not wish to open up a debate on the Original Turtle Rules or to discuss in detail his assertion that they still work and mine that they need radical updating to produce a profit.

I will also leave current and future readers of this thread to ponder why exactly this might be the case and to draw their own conclusions.


There will I happily leave this thread and let Michael get on with his sales pitch.

Actually, for the record I wrote the definitive text on the Turtles "The Complete TurtleTrader" -- and people can draw many conclusions from that work and I hope they do. In fact, that book lays out many debates about the Turtles and their success.

How about a tid bit.

How would you objectively define the term, "trend"?

I like Seykota's wisdom here.

Thanks, if I wanted Ed's wisdom I would have simply looked on his site.

I asked for your objective definition of "trend". I would think this would be a simple question considering who you are, what you promote and what you stand for. Am I wrong?

The answer was sufficient to the question. Don't be argumentative just to be a pill! Why don't you enlighten me to the conspiracy you have uncovered about my understanding of the definition of "trend"?

I have no doubt Moore will get more viewers. He makes compelling films and has had great success. That said, if everyone is going to watch and enjoy a film that declares capitalism to be evil...I prefer to not associate with that particular "everyone"! In all seriousness, I imagine the films are quite different. I am seeing a private screening of Moore's Weds in LA so I will post back after.

I'm not trying to be argumentative or eluding to a conspiracy.
I simply want to hear "your" personal objective definition of the term "trend".

Ask me my personal definition of any term and I either have one or I don't.

I'm just asking a question and you, for whatever reason, are choosing not to just answer it. I'm perplexed.
