Jerry Parker needs no introduction. He's been running a successful trend following firm, Chesapeake Capital, since the 1980's.

Today, we talk about a number of different things including:

1) Winton Capital "stepping away" from trend following

2) Morningstar's study on fund manager performance

3) The Dr. Copper myth

4) Earnings growth vs. stock market returns

We plan on having these discussions every so often when we come across articles we like and when important market events occur.
