Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Trend Commandments
Michael Covel · 2011
65/100
👎 Skip It
Covel has a genuine and well-researched case to make for trend following, and this slim volume makes it in an energetic, readable way. The catch is that it stays stubbornly philosophical — readers finish it knowing they should follow trends but not how to do it, which limits its practical value. Think of it as a compelling advertisement for Covel's deeper work rather than a standalone guide.
