Alan, <<Frankly, I still can't find too many people to emulate in the financial world, regardless of their level of success. >> Point taken, but he was mostly involved with futures, and long before the days of program trading!, as far as the emulation, I like John Murphy's analysis, and I have been reviewing his work since 1987 or so. he is consistent. The trouble I find pervading the trading world, is the unwillingness to take small losses and get out when a trade goes wrong. Most people will hang on because they don't want to admit they are wrong. I have reduced my trading dramatically, and now look to position in small stocks with large pieces. the liquidity issues aside, i have made the most money that way over the last 14 years. However, I have also taken some extremely big hits that way as well.
