0:00.0	This is Trend Following Radio, where great thinking comes alive.
0:10.9	Nobel Prize winners, legendary traders, bestselling authors, and the pros that know what drive us irrational human beings.
0:26.6	I am your host, Michael Covel, not filtered, raw, honest.
0:40.2	That's my passion. My guest today is Doug Grinig. He is the CEO of Floor and Court Capital, a trend-filing trader, and they've got a very unique take on trend-filing. They are trading the alternatives
0:45.4	to the alternatives, 500 plus diverse markets, many of which you've probably never heard of.
