Editor-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:
-
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.

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

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. SEE

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:

| Bullish Review
In the world of futures trading, one advisor is the
acknowledged expert on the the CFTC's Commitments of
Traders report. This weekly statistical report reveals
the dealings of true market insiders—large commercial
hedgers who dominate the futures pits. Within these pages
lie some exceptional trading opportunities, but you need
to know how to find them. If you don't have 12 hours a
week to study this report, you might consider
Bullish Review,
which has been finding special situations since 1988.
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. (If you get confirmation
