I interviewed Dr. Harry Markowitz at his San Diego area office yesterday. In Las Vegas now to talk with pro poker players.

Film project underway.

An interesting read that gets one into “numbers”.

Kip Viscusi, who teaches economics and law at Vanderbilt Law School, has written widely and well on the risky choices that people make, especially smoking.

One system? Buy after Buffett buys!

One of the projects I am working on? Figuring the best way to bring the vast amount of research that went into my new book to the public. The audio alone is dozens of hours. Then there are emails, articles, research, etc. which all helped bring the book to life.

Bob Pardo reviews “The Complete TurtleTrader” in the December issue of Futures Magazine. An excerpt:

Suffice it to say that Covel’s speculations about the significance of Dennis and the Turtles are interesting and ones with which I agree. He suggests that Dennis and the Turtles established a milestone in trading and not only established systematic trading as respectable, but set the bar rather high. The simple truth is that Dennis and the Turtles accomplished something that had never been done before and at a very high level of quality and success. Read the book. There are some interesting trading “pearls” to be had in this book. They are not identified as such, but they are there nonetheless. Enjoy it. I did.
