Many people contributed to the writing of this book in a multitude of ways, both large and small. First and foremost I thank Kirstin Peterson for her indispensable assistance in the writing of this book. My agent, Nick Ellison, was instrumental in shepherding the entire project through the publication process. At St. Martin’s Press, my editor, George Witte, was a great source of enthusiasm and was always open to new ideas. His assistant, Marie Estrada, was also great to work with.
For their help with charts and other technical matters, I’m grateful to Tiny (Michael Saul), Nikola Ivanov, and Merrick Okamoto. Tiny also provided me with invaluable time to help put the book together by more than adequately running the TrendFund.com chat room. Thanks also to my staff at TrendFund.com for being a constant source of strength and integrity in the marketplace. You rock!
Early readers of the book proposal include Amy Gutman, Eric Peterson, and Mary Peterson; their suggestions helped make it stronger. I am indebted to my publicist, Michael Sietz-Honig, for a hundred kinds of help that I can never recount. Finally, I’d like to acknowledge all the traders on www.trendfund.com for showing me how to help them Rule the Freakin’ Markets!
