John Taylor is the founder of FX concepts a $8 Billion dollar commodity trading advisor specializing in forex. John Taylor was recently on CNBC discussing his thoughts and investment thesis for the upcoming period. Very interesting to watch. Past performance is not indicative of future performance A colleague of mine sent me an interesting article about David Ricardo. He was a trend follower in the 1700s. He accumulated at the time approx $62 million dollars by trend following. He had several simple rules. They are the rules that successful trend followers use today. We all know what a pep talk does to a football team down in the 4th quarter of the game. It encourages them. It motivates them to win the game in the final quarter. Trading commodities and trend following is a tough game as is football. As trend followers and commodity traders there are times( [...] If one steps back and looks at all the current realities a bearish perspective could be easily expected. Spain and Portugal were down graded once again, there are traces of a nuclear meltdown in Japan and let alone the US housing market looks like a double dip is on the way. Considering all these realities [...] |
