On this week\u2019s episode, we discuss the tendency for investors to confuse volatility & noise with risk and instability, the benefits of great mentorship, why the best investments are those that have survived calamitous periods, why risk from any single market shouldn\u2019t be able to ruin your portfolio, and Larry Hite\u2019s observation that there is very little magic in Trend Following. Questions we answer this week include: can a 10-year track record can be considered as anything more than noise? Is there a way to achieve exceptionally high returns with minimal risk & volatility?  What really is a \u2018fat tail\u2019?  Can Trend Followers make money in rising interest-rate environments?  Can you apply Trend Following to the VIX index?
