SI74: Trading TESLA during its parabolic move

Published: Feb. 8, 2020, 8:03 a.m.

This week, we discuss how Jerry approached his Tesla trade during last week\u2019s parabolic move up, the value of sleeping well at night in comparison to chasing maximum returns, whether Trend Following models can be successfully tilted toward ESG (Sustainable) Investments, thoughts on Negative & Positive Skew, the perceived drawbacks of CTA diversification when stocks are going up, and we also compare Trend Following on stocks, to a fully diversified, Trend Following system.  Questions we answer this week include: What do you do next when you have a significant amount of new AUM?  Do you have any tips or methods, whether psychologically or built into your models, for handling euphoric gains?  How many markets, and how much allocation to each market, do you recommend when constructing a Trading Universe?
