Michael Covel's Trend Following Michael Covel

A new Michael Covel interview on Trend Following Radio. An interview of Michael.

Many books have been written on the tragic decisions regarding Vietnam made by the young stars of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. Yet despite millions of words of analysis and reflection, no historian has been able to explain why such decent, brilliant, and previously successful men stumbled so badly.
That changes with Road to Disaster. Historian Brian VanDeMark draws upon decades of archival research, his own interviews with many of those involved, and a wealth of previously unheard recordings by Robert McNamara and Clark Clifford, who served as Defense Secretaries for Kennedy and Johnson. Yet beyond that, Road to Disaster is also the first history of the war to look at the cataclysmic decisions of those in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations through the prism of recent research in cognitive science, psychology, and organizational theory to explain why the “Best and the Brightest” became trapped in situations that suffocated creative thinking and willingness to dissent, why they found change so hard, and why they were so blind to their own errors.
An epic history of America’s march to quagmire, Road to Disaster is a landmark in scholarship and a book of immense importance.
Bio: Brian VanDeMark teaches history at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where for more than twenty-five years he has educated midshipmen about the Vietnam War. He has also been a visiting fellow at Oxford University. VanDeMark was the research assistant on Clark Clifford’s bestselling autobiography Counsel to the President and the coauthor of Robert McNamara’s #1 bestseller In Retrospect.

Trend following trader Richard Brennan joins me today to give his unique story and how he came to enter the world of trend following.
As Richard notes “The times since the gold rush may have changed but the passion of speculation still persists. This game is all about finding that slight edge in an otherwise efficient market that sets you apart from your competition. To tilt the odds in your favour and allow for long term sustainable investment returns.”
I could not have said it better!
