• The desire to know static positions
• How crowd behavior drives trends
• Addressing misconceptions
• Using fundamentals in a systematic way
• Defining Todd\u2019s medium-term style of trend following
• Why \u201cit\u2019s less about the genius of the trade and more about the repeatability of the approach\u201d
• How long you can be in a particular market before you give up on it
• Client understanding of trend following drawdowns
• The phraseology of \u201ccrisis alpha\u201d
