How does Michael Covel pronounce his last name?

‘Vell’ rhyming with bell.

Equally accented each syllable.

Reaching Investors in the Trend Following World

15 years into building this trend following network, quite a few people stop in these days for insights and comments. In the last few weeks, while I have been up to my neck in new books, more and more people have reached out to propose assorted ventures. Bottom line, I am capitalist at heart so if you want to reach my audience, which includes retail and institutional folks alike, I am willing to help figure out a win win solution.

All I ask? Don’t propose a text link to pay $100 a year!

The Internet Will Mature When Anonymous Sours

Barry Ritholtz uses this as his disclaimer for posting comments:

“Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data, ability to repeat discredited memes, and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Also, be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor even implied. Any irrelevancies you can mention will also be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse…you are, after all, anonymous.”

Nice.
