Welcome to my last President’s Letter. Since I’m not one for long goodbyes, I’ll keep this brief. Looking back to 2018, I could not have anticipated or even imagined the many twists and turns that would be thrown at our organization! The good news is that we’ve survived, and in many instances thrived, during that time. I’ll let the critics hash out the absolute and relative success we’ve had. Or, you and I can hash it out at our next “in person” Symposium, whenever that may be. I would welcome seeing you then, and having that discussion! Next, I would like to say thank you for the opportunity to serve the Association. It has been an honor. Please know that I am grateful to each and every one of you that I have had the pleasure to work with over the past three years as President. That would include our Board members,

This article originally ran in November 1997 edition of Technically Speaking. Imagine playing a game for money in which marbles are drawn out of a bag and then replaced. Sixty percent of the marbles are white. If one of the white marbles is drawn out, you win whatever you risked. The other forty percent are blue. If one of the blue marbles is drawn, then you lose whatever you risked. This game has an expectancy of 20 cents. That is, over a large number of trials, you’ll make 20 cents for every dollar you risk. That means it’s much better than any game you’ll ever play in Las Vegas. But what percentage of the people who play it make money? I have introduced this game numerous times in talks that I’ve given and at seminars and conferences. Typically, we don’t play for real money, but the winner (i.e., the person who ends

The Godfather of Technical Analysis, Ralph Acampora, CMT joins Fill the Gap for a conversation about the history of markets, and market technicians. As the co-founder of the “MTA” in the late 1960s, Ralph’s passion for the discipline of technical market analysis has not waned a bit in his 50-year career on Wall Street. Discussing long-term secular market trends and periods of extended market expansion, Ralph shares that we may be in a fifth “Mega Market” cycle. Comparing historical periods of great economic expansion, Ralph coined the term to describe post-war market rallies in his book “The Fourth Mega Market” which he penned in the 1990s.  As the world slowly begins to emerge from the COVID pandemic, the massive injection of funding for research to fight the virus will likely be commercialized in the period ahead, helping extend a global bull market over the coming years. Ralph opens up about his lifelong passion
