Ep. 245: Jerry Parker Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio
Episode description
My guest today is Jerry Parker, an original Turtle, trained by Richard Dennis. However, since then he has very successfully run a managed money firm called Chesapeake Capital.
The topic is Trend Following.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
- Mean reversion trading
- What the definition of momentum trading is compared to trend following
- Why “good enough” is more rigorous than any metric
- How the intervention of the Fed has broken up trends and made volatility drop in markets
- How the idea of uncertainty and talking in probabilities makes people uncomfortable
- The difference between managed futures and trend following
- Why buy and hold is predicated on trust of the Fed
- Why trend followers don’t look to “beat” the market
