MFA Panel
Posted in Book News | No Comments | Thursday, February 14th, 2008
I moderated a panel yesterday at an annual MFA conference in Key Biscayne, Florida. It was an interesting experience to see the disadvantages that traders often face in trying to win institutional investors over to their way of thinking. Most interesting thing heard for me? Apparently some United States Senators, with oversight over the CFTC, are unaware of the term managed futures (primarily trend following traders). With over $100 billion dollars invested in managed futures programs that kind of ignorance is startling.

Nelson Freeburg Review
Posted in Book Reviews | No Comments | Tuesday, February 12th, 2008
Some feedback from longtime industry veteran Nelson Freeburg of Formula Research:
Michael, I just finished reading your fine book [The Complete TurtleTrader]. You are a researcher of great diligence and depth. I admire your stress on the entrepreneurial imperative, distinguishing Jerry Parker and Salem Abraham from the rest of the pack. And you are a fine writer with a gift for the apt turn of phrase. (My favorite passage: “Maybe it is that down-to-earth perspective gleaned from living in handshake country [love that phrase!] that gives Abraham a clear perspective.” I also liked your observation about self-actualized individuals who don’t fear striking out so much as missing any possible opportunity to bat.) One piece of advice from this grizzled veteran…for your next book you should find a copy editor who can do justice to your literary and investigative skills. You are an authentic talent. With best wishes and many thanks…Nelson Freeburg
