Steve BrieseEditor-in-Chief

Highlights

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:

  1. Solid dividend paying record.

  2. Currently yield of 8% minimum.

  3. 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.

How to use our services

It all began with Bullish Review of Commodity Insiders, which we began publishing in 1988. We are proud to still have a handful of original subscribers after 25 years in a rough and tumble business.

Bullish Review is devoted to finding special situation trading opportunities in the weekly Commitments of Traders (COT) report published by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It is normally published on Monday, following Friday afternoon's release of the COT report. There is a previiew issue, called First Look, which is published on Saturday morning at the same time that we update COT charts and downloadable COT data files at www.CommitmentsOfTraders.ORG. First Look contains proprietary sector indexes and forecasts for stock indexes, US dollar, Treasurys, oil, precious metals, and the soy complex, along with updated COT charts for major futures markets. It is difficult to consider a weekly newsletter a timing tool. There is no "delay factor" for signals to "work." Remember that the market can be "wrong" longer than you can remain solvent if trading against the trend. Wait for the market to begin to agree before implementing Bullish Review trade set-ups. Often this wait is very short. No trading tool offers 100% accuracy. Stop-losses are an essential part of any trading strategy.

Insider Futures and Insider Currencies are daily technical-based market letters that were designed at the request of Bullish Review subscribers who were missing a critical component of a winning methadology--a technical method to use in implementing trade setups suggested in Bullish Review. The Insider letters are based on the age-old point and figure charting method, updated so that all orders can be placed in the market ahead of time. Both newsletters stand on their own track record, but each contains 27 markets, more than anyone would normally trade. Bullish Review can be used as a screen to select both markets and direction (long or short) to trade. The idea is select a market highlighted in Bullish Review and wait for the next technical entry signal in the direction (long or short) recommended in Bullish Review. Used in this manner, you would be flat when Insider Currencies / Futures had a position opposite Bullish Review's recommendation. There are times where Bullish Review will recommend reversal stops, which would be facilitated by using Insider the reversal points. Insider Futures and Insider Currencies are strictly technically based and are unrelated to the Commitments data. As such, they are frequently positioned opposite recommendations published in Bullish Review. Instead of top/bottom picking, Insider Currencies and Insider Futures can be used to enter only when price action begins to confirm trend direciton. Obviously you are not limited to this approach. There are myriad technical methods for entering trades that may be highlighted in Bullish Review .

Pitpoints is a daily trend analysis and key support  and resistance listing typical of "numbers" used by open outcry pit traders (remember them?). Short-term swing and day traders find these useful in determining entry and exit prices. This is a shorter-term view than that provided by Insider Futures and Insider Currencies .

Insider Money is a periodical addressing major economic cycles, providng long-range investment advice in equities, Treasurys, US dollar, gold, and real estate. Insider Money is published when conditions warrant and is sold on a per-issue basis on this website. You can arrange to be notified of new issues when available by sending a note to sales@insidercapital.com

 

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.

 Insider Money

In December 1999, one market advisor stood apart from the crowd of talking heads and pronounced the end to the greatest bull market in history. Those who heeded his advise locked up their stock market profits and moved into the safety of T-bonds. As a bonus, T-bond prices soared over the next year, netting his subscribers even greater profits.  You can receive his new general investment letter geared to private investors and personal portfolio management: Insider Money.

Market Revolutions

Everybody loves cycles, but where are they when you really need them? They appear every two weeks in a market letter with a unique and proprietary method of cycle forecasting. Ever wonder how to know whether a particular daily, weekly, or monthly cycle is going to prevail. The answer is that prices  respond to the combination of these cycles and you must have a method of combining them into a forecast. Once you have developed a cycle forecast, some pretty basic technical tools will insure that you are on the right side of market moves.
