My Investment Experience Spans Over 50 Years

Having studied the stock market for over 50 years, I’ve invested in mutual funds, stocks, options, futures, and commodities. Also, I’ve day traded NASDAQ stocks and E-mini-NASDAQ futures from 1998–2000 during the Internet and technology boom times. Additionally, I have read more than 500 books on investing and trading over the years, and I’ve become proficient in technical analysis. I’ve posted more than 60 financial book reviews on Amazon. Moreover, I’ve written investing software reviews for Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine, and articles for SFO and Active Trader magazines. In addition, I’ve used many investing and trading software programs over the years, including Telescan, OmniTrader, DTN, TradeStation, ULTRA, VectorVest, and High Growth Stock Investor. Also, I continue to use many free charting, investing, and trading sites on the Internet.

I have subscribed to The Wall Street Journal and Barron’s, and for pleasure I read many financial magazines, including Money, SmartMoney, Forbes, Fortune, and Kiplinger’s Personal Finance. And, when I have the time, I go to my local library to read Investor’s Business Daily, Morningstar Mutual Funds, Value Line Investment Survey, S&P Outlook, and The New York Times business section. Over the years, I’ve attended many online trader expos, Money Shows, and specialized trading and investing courses. And, of course, I access useful information about investing on the Internet.
