The Turtles Return for a Year-End Deep Dive
In Episode 9 of the Aussie Turtles’ Turtle Talk podcast, the team shifts gears from book launch to the fundamentals of robustness, system design, and the structural realities of modern trend following.
Recorded at the close of a volatile year, the discussion focuses on how outlier-hunting strategies behave across market regimes, and why durability matters more than prediction when the environment turns from calm to rough.
Inside Episode 9:
- Outliers vs. the Market Cycle: Richard Brennan breaks down regime shifts and explains how compounding geometry gives true trend strategies the edge over full cycles.
- A Century of Crises : A data-driven walk through 125 years of market stress and the fat-tailed behaviours that define real-world market structure.
- Diversification as Architecture : Jerry Parker outlines why broad, disciplined market coverage is essential for capturing rare events, and why narrowing the universe is a silent drag on performance.
- Rules Over Prediction : Adam Havryliv makes the case for systematic robustness as uncertainty accelerates, and why “infinite money glitch” thinking misunderstands how trend systems actually compound.
- Trend Index Moves : A concise review of October’s rebound and what it signals for momentum heading into year-end.
