The TURTLE Effect

It started with this:

“THIS IS THE TRUE STORY BEHIND WALL STREET LEGEND RICHARD DENNIS, HIS DISCIPLES-THE TURTLES-AND THE TRADING TECHNIQUES THAT MADE THEM MILLIONAIRES”

I saw this book titled THE COMPLETE TURTLE TRADER from my first working visit to Jakarta. It was sold in a bookshop at the Bandara@Airport@Lapangan Terbang Soekarno Hatta. My first glance happens to be something that I couldn’t forget. The yellow blanket book had this turtle in the moddle of the cover page with a tag “HOW 23 NOVICE INVESTORS BECAME OVERNIGHT MILLIONAIRES”. Well, that one realy captures my attention. The writer was Michael W. Covel and he is also the writer of the famous Trend Following book. And then I wonder…what are their connection? The turtle and trend following? I walk away with so much cloud in my head.

My second visit to Jakarta, and again, I saw the same book. I hold the book in my hand..and suddenly my bos said “you got 100000?” alamak! potong stim lak! it turn out my bos forget to change his money at the money changer. “oh, ok. I got 100K”. I put the book down and went to the counter. I then went to another shelf and saw a book titled “THE WORLD IS CURVE”. Holding the book in my curiousity, my bos said “the book you’re holding is worth of reading” and the next thing I knew, I already paid it.

My third visit to Jakarta,  was almost an accidental. I had some work to be completed at Batam but need to fly to Jakarta because the meeting had been reschedule. (Initialy it was suppose to be in Batam). At the airport, again, for the third time, i saw the book. My heart says “I’ve got to have this book”. I opened my wallet and lucky enough to find some money left. I took the yellow book and paid it at the counter. Settle.

I’m at the fifth chapter now. Reading it is somewhat weird. FYI, I never bought a book about Forex. My only source is the Internet. While the content in the net is up-to-date and interesting, the book make me feel different. I can’t explain it now mainly because i haven’t finished reading it but i feel different….

I will write again, definitely and try to extract the things i read in the book. If you guys suddenly bump onto this book, just grab it. Maybe we can share a thoughts or two.

Till then..
