Background

As a US Army helicopter pilot during two tours in Vietnam, Steve was awarded 3 Air Medals for Valor, the Soldier's Medal, and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Steve began is trading career in 1973, buying silver futures at 3.97. In 1974 at the bottom of the bear market, he watched is grandfather select stocks using 3 simple rules:

Solid dividend paying record.
Currently yield of 8% minimum.
Price have doubled during the last bull market.

In 1988, Steve retired from the construction business and began writing Bullish Review of Commodity Insiders based on the Commitments of Traders report he discovered in 1974. He hired couriers to pick up the printed reports in New York and Chicago and rush them to his doorstep. Later, Steve led a letter writing campaign to get the CFTC to release reports more frequently than once a month and electronically. You can now get these reports weekly at the CFTC's website. (But, you're better off getting them here in several formats.

In 1997, when the CFTC announced proposed registration requirements for broadcasting market opinions on the Internet, Steve joined a handful of newsletter writers and sued the CFTC in federal court. His landmark First Amendment victory assures your unfettered access to the kind of material you find on this website (and thousands other).

In 2001, when Florida's First District US Congressman quit in the middle of his term, Steve ran to replace him in a special election. Steve's strength was his wife Jeannette, 5 college-age kids and a 5-year-old granddaughter working on the campaign. Alas, it wasn't enough and Steve is back to researching and writing about markets.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
