One of my favorite things to do at Abnormal Returns is to give stuff away. So today is my, and your, luck day. The fine folks at Wiley have given me five copies of Michael Covel’s newly revised and extended Fifth Edition of Trend Following: How to Make a Fortune in Bull, Bear, and Black Swan Markets to give away to my readers.

Before we go any farther please read my Q&A with Mike about his new book. Make sure the topic is something in which you want to take a deeper dive, because Trend Following is not for dilettantes. Also there is a Foreword from Barry Ritholtz. That being said I have a couple of “asks” before we get down to it.

Here’s what you need to do to be eligible to win one of five, yes FIVE, copies of Trend Following: How to Make a Fortune in Bull, Bear, and Black Swan Markets.

  1. Make sure you are subscriber to our daily e-mail newsletter. It’s good, I swear.
  2. If you are not yet a member of Abnormal Returns please consider it. There are a number of reasons to join including: an ad-lite reading experience, member-only e-mails and some cool perks.
  3. Send an e-mail to us at newsletter–at–abnormalreturns–dot–com with “Black Swan Markets” in the Subject line.

That wasn’t too difficult, was it? We will accept submissions until 12pm Eastern on Friday, April 28th. The five, yes FIVE, winners will be chosen at random and will be notified via e-mail.* Good luck!


*US and Canadian mailing addresses only. Thanks. The contest is now closed. The winners have been notified by e-mail.
