Ep. 967: Tom Basso Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is Tom Basso. He bought his first mutual fund at 12 from funds received from delivering newspapers. From those early days, covering over 50+ years, Tom has extensively traded stocks, bonds, options, commodities/futures and FOREX. Tom’s engineering background with a knowledge of math and computers helped him leverage his time and talents in managing portfolios over his 28 years career. Tom was one of several traders featured in Jack Schwager’s The New Market Wizards and dubbed “Mr. Serenity” by Jack.

The topic is Trend Following.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
