Ep. 109: Richard Russell and Dow Theory with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is Richard Russell, an American writer on finance. He began publishing a newsletter called the Dow Theory Letters in 1958. The Letters covered his views on the stock market and the precious metal markets.

The topic is Dow Theory.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Views about the economy and the Fed
  • Gentleman's blogpost in further detail, and notes how taking hold of data such as trading volume and confirming the Dow and transports together are almost fundamental-like in their approach
  • Local Malaysian food, Yoga, getting the tar beat out of him in a Thai massage, General Patton, and invites listeners to write in with questions about predictive vs. reactive technical analysis
  • Clip from famed basketball coach John Wooden at UCLA
