This month’s Turtle Talk is a little different — Rich and Adam join Jerry Parker at his New York getaway for a face-to-face deep dive into the philosophy and practice of outlier hunting. Recorded on Labor Day, the trio reflect on market adventures, harbor cruises, and the heart of classic trend following.

In this special episode, we skip the usual segments and go straight to the foundations:

🌍 Maximum Diversification – why spreading the net across hundreds of markets is essential for catching rare outliers.
📉 Volatility vs. Lifting Power – compounding drag, step-ups in equity curves, and why chasing smoothness can backfire.
🎯 Closed Trade Equity & Weak Compounding – why conservative sizing preserves robustness and avoids randomness.
🔍 Dynamic Position Sizing Debate – why selling into strength risks type-two errors and dilutes true outlier returns.
🐂 The Cattle Year – feeder cattle, cocoa, and how small markets often deliver oversized contributions.
💬 Classic vs. Modern Trend – Buffett, Munger, and the tension between concentrated conviction and wide diversification.

🎙️ Expect candid debate, laughs, and plenty of lessons as the Aussie Turtles and Jerry unpack what it really means to maximize CAGR through pure outlier hunting
