Feedback From Vermont on the Human Side
Feedback:
Mr. Covel, my compliments. I found your work on the Turtles admirable in so many ways. If you get the chance, preferably on a cold day, do visit the Shelburne Museum along the shores of Lake Champlain in Vermont. I was struck not by the beauty of the place but by just how tough the American settlers were to survive winter, rocks, childbirth and disease in isolation, grueling farm labor, poverty and misfortunes of all kinds. The size and weight of their crude implements alone were intimidating to this softie of the 21st century. I guess you can never tell what your writing can trigger in the mind of a reader. As a 8 year commodities position trader, now retired pathologist, I kept asking myself how could you have observed, interviewed and then written a book that not just captured a complex technical story but at the same time said so much truth about trading and life. But somehow, there it was every time I turned the page. My son and I are carefully reviewing those pages to see what we can add or adapt to our trading approach. Along the way we are re-living our journey together. Thanks for having the talent and toughness to tell the tale so well.
For me, as an author on the subject of the Turtles, this feedback struck me. It hit me because this reader’s feedback is how I feel. Yes, my book is about trading, making money and the right kind of technique, but it was the human side of the story that really influenced me.
