something different. I always knew I wanted to work for myself, have no clients, and answer to no one. That, to me,
was the ultimate goal. I had been brooding for years, "Why wasn't I doing well when I was groomed to be
successful?" I decided it was now time to be successful.
When a brokerage firm wants to hire you, they'll give you anything. Once you are there, they are far less
responsive. So, when I was being romanced by Hutton, I asked for a quote machine in my office. I was the only
securities analyst that had a quote machine. During my last year at Hutton, I started closing the door to my office so
that I could watch the market. I talked to my friend Bob Zoellner several times a day, and he taught me how to
analyze market action. For example, when the market gets good news and goes down, it means the market is very
weak; when it gets bad news and goes up, it means the market is healthy.
During that year, I started taking trial subscriptions to a lot of different newsletters. I consider myself a
synthesizer; I didn't necessarily create a new methodology, but I took a number of different methodologies and
molded them into my own approach.
I found a guy, Terry Laundry, who lived in Nantucket and had an unorthodox approach called the Magic Т
Forecast. He was an МГГ engineering graduate with a math background, and that appealed to me. His basic theory
was that the market spent the same amount of time going up as going down. Only the amplitude was different.
