What do you do when trends stop appearing for the quarter of a billion dollars you manage? Where do you go to find markets like the ‘good old days’ for trend following? Our guest for this episode, Abingdon Global’s Fred Schutzman is in a unique position to answer those questions – and much more!

Listen to Fred share his background being a Chartist, working at CRB, why technical analysts have holes in their shoes, how easy it seemed to find successful trend models 20 years ago, the rise and fall of Briarwood, sleepless nights with a quarter of a billion on the line, why 10,000 trades are better than 1000, why 3 models are better than 1, and thoughts on Queens, Acid, Coke, Iron Ore, gaining exposure to China, to inflation, to dollar weakness, the perfect NY slice, and eating his own (Chinese) cooking.
