#137 Radio Show Investing Series: Using Trends to minimizing losses and compound
In this episode, I dive into a style of investing called Trend Following or Momentum. Designed to minimize portfolio drawdowns. Being rules-based, investing removes emotions from decision-making. Investing broadly across asset classes and geography provides investors with more opportunities to see returns. The research supports the approach to lower risk and potentially enhance long-term returns. There are loads of data from research that provides strong out-of-sample evidence that there is consistent, long-term evidence that trends have been pervasive features of global stock, bond, commodity, and currency markets. If you want to learn about something a bit more unconventional, you are in the right place. Below are some of the best pieces I've read on the topic.
