| |
|
| Q |
You
said that you work with me from
start to finish on each trade.
Can you explain this further? |
| A |
I
practice each day. To me, it’s
no different than an athlete
hitting golf balls, except
my practice is analyzing the
bond market with my model.
I will call you the night before
a trade and tell you whether
I'm bullish or bearish, when
to take profits, as well as
asset allocation entry points. |
| |
|
| Q |
How
do your predictions work? |
| A |
My predications
are based on the fundamentals as
well as my asset
allocation tables. |
| |
|
| Q |
What
about stops? |
| A |
My
model is not designed for stops.
It’s asset allocation all the way,
which can help you manage the
risk better. |

Do
you look at any trading system? |

No |
| |
|

it’s not. I built it myself. It’s
the fundamentals that drive bond
prices. |

Yes.

as well. |
| |
|
| Q |
Do
others have a model like yours? |

No.
I like to refer to my model as
my “mind model.” It’s my own thought
process that can’t be copied. |
| |
|
| Q |
Why
don’t most traders make money in
commodities? |
| A |
They
can’t focus on one market. Another
reason is that it takes at least
10 years of dedication to understand
this market. Experience
is “gold.” |
