“Hello, Mr. Covel. I’ve been following your blog for about a year now and I want to thank you for the work you’ve done and opening my eyes. I’m currently a student in one of the business schools here in Sweden. I’ve acknowledged there seems to be a lot of bias towards fundamentals as that’s mainly what my course material covers. There have been few instances where technical analysis is discussed, but usually only brief followed by negative comments from the lecturer. I remember one session where Warren Buffet and the reasons for his success were discussed. The lecturer, being a pure fundamentalist praised him followed by some students who of course had read the books about him. I wanted to do a little experiment and raised my hand and asked “What about Ed Seykota?” The response I got was silence followed by empty facial expressions and I was asked to elaborate on who Mr. Seykota is. I explained what I knew from reading your book, but I believe the message never got through. I did another try by telling the story about the Turtles, but without success. In retrospect I find it kind of funny because it shows how it is in the academic world. You would think the message from Mr. Buffet about continuous learning would play out in his followers by exploring the technical approach as well, especially trend following. I still have great respect for Mr. Buffet, but no worshipping. I’m happy I found trend following through your website because otherwise I would probably be one of those previously described. Thank you!”
Thanks. Good luck!
