Impossible in Theory?

Trend Following | April 2nd, 2011

Author Seth Godin writes:

“A symptom of the revolution: When we state something is impossible in theory, but then change our minds when we discover that it is possible in practice.”

That reminded me of critical comments about trend following. They attack the theory, and ignore the results in practice.

    So true! How can a person read your book “Trend Following” and all of the month-by-month performance over many years for many Trend Following Traders and not be curious?

    Michael: We know that we are pounding our heads against a rock when we try to convince the average investor that Trend Following is a must tool. I will be speaking again at Caesar’s in Vegas again in early May and I will not be disappointed if the “sheep” don’t listen. Hope to see you there.
