J. Michael Oliver entered the financial services industry in 1975 on the Futures side, joining E.F. Hutton’s International Commodity Division, NYC. He studied under David Johnson, head of Hutton’s Commodity Division and Chairman of the COMEX.
In the 1980’s Oliver began to develop his own momentum-based method of technical analysis. In 1987 Oliver, along with his futures client accounts (Oliver had trading POA) technically anticipated and captured the Crash. Oliver began to realize that his emergent momentum-structural-based tools should be further developed into a full analytic methodology.
In 1992 he was asked by the Financial VP and head of Wachovia Bank’s Trust Department to provide soft dollar research to Wachovia. Within a year Oliver shifted from brokerage to full-time technical research. MSA has provided its proprietary technical research services to financial and asset management clients continually since 1992.
Oliver is the author of The New Libertarianism: Anarcho-Capitalism.
Please listen to Michael’s views on the markets as this favorite technical analyst of yours truly as well as Eric Sprott explains why $8,000 gold is not a crazy idea and why he has his doubts about the claims of Michael Saylor and other Bitcoin apostles.
Over the years, Michael has become one of the most popular guests on Turning Hard Times into Good Times. I hope you take the time to listen to his views which I personally take very seriously. His letter, “Momentum and Structural Analysis” has been extremely helpful to me in keeping me from getting whip sawed in and out of markets and remaining on the right side of markets for intermediate to longer term trends.
Best wishes and happy New Year to all.
Jay Taylor
