I have had the opportunity to spend some time, and enjoy wide ranging discussions, with Aaron Smith of Superfund on at least two continents that I can recall! A recent interview:
Bottom line, regardless of personal views, always keep in mind that Superfund, like most trend traders, trust their systems for signals, not their opinions.

Although he is undeniably a trend follower, he was still forecasting market movements offering projecting market movements. True trend followers are not supposed to do either are they?

Having an opinion is one thing. Trading it is another! The performance data is the judge. Look at the data. Straight up trend following data.

I have talked with enough top trend followers to know how difficult it is to get reporters to even begin to understand what they do. If you are not giving a reporter in the finance space something that feels like a forecast, even if that is what you don’t do, they think you are crazy.

Hi Micheal,
Thanks for the input.
Reporters, can’t live with them, can’t shoot them! From the tone of your comments, it seems that you consider them to be either sheep or children. I agree.
By the way, when is your documentary coming out and will it be shown here in Canada?
