Rating: - For Both Traders and Investors
I was a trader for many years before I became aware of the trend following approach utilized by the traders in Covel's book. One certainly does not have to be a trader or financial professional to benefit from the wisdom found in the text. There are good traders and bad traders. There are good money managers and bad ones. Readers are actually told to either hire a trend following manager or learn from the masters outlined in the book - make a choice. As a former financial advisor for a major international investment bank, I found Covel's book very informative and educational.

Congratulations Michael - Great Work !
If a person is willing to truly focus on and "fully absorb
the timeless wisdom" on the pages of your new book,
the vital truths are All there. (Of course if they aren't,
no book can help much...)

For those of you who are lazy and do not want to do the hard work and simply want to gleem trading tips off a book, this is not for you.

However, for the ones who have an open mind, and would like to learn about WHY trend following works, this is the book.

Rating: - Excellent reading; good detail
Winners and losers seems to be the thrust here. Why do trend followers win? Why do others lose? Author has good matter of fact style. Fine effort.
