The New Science of Technical Analysis

I dedicate this book to those individuals who have contributed emotionally, physically, spiritually, inspirationally, intellectually, and professionally to my investment career. Without their influence on my life, this endeavor would never have been anything more than a mere fantasy—

To my children T.J., Carrie, Meghan, Rocke, Evan, and Dominic, for the time they sacrificed and the patience they exhibited to allow me to complete this project;

To my wife Nancy for her willingness to support my efforts and to prevent distractions;

To my father Louis and my mother Carmilla, for the direction they provided and the values they instilled;

To William R. Johnson and A. Keith Johnson, for the employment opportunity of a lifetime;

To Paul Tudor Jones and Peter Borish, for their recognition and appreciation of professional money management;

To Van Hoisington, for the fortitude and foresight to invest in the future;

To Larry Williams, for his encouragement to create and to challenge myself and for his friendship;

To Charlie (“D”) DiFrancesca and John DiFrancesca, for the inspiration to excel and to accept adversity:

To David Baker, Gibbons Burke, Ed Cicosz, Leon Copperman, Joe Generalis, Thomas Henson, Anthony Kolton, Jack Kunkel, John Miller, Brian Pedersen, Dr. Guenther Pfister, John Snyder, Ron Williams, and Bernard C. Ziegler III, for their contributions to my investment career.
