Bill Dunn – Success with Technical Analysis
Bill Dunn does not have a traditional business background – no accountancy degree, no economics degree, no MBA.
Bill has a Ph.D. in theoretical Physics and he spent 8 years as a teacher and researcher.
Intrigued by the possibility of using mathematics to analyze market behavior, Bill’s attention was drawn away from physics towards futures markets.
In the futures markets, contracts for the future delivery of products such as metals, oil, currencies, wheat, pork bellies, stocks, bonds and coffee are traded.
The futures markets are vital to real businesses to reduce operational risk. For example, a farmer can sell the crop he is planting before it has even grown. If the market price of his crop should plummet, the farmer need not worry – he has already sold it. Farmers and other businesses can use the futures markets in a variety of ways to reduce the risk involved in their future operations.
Speculators like Bill Dunn take on some of this risk – but in return they expect the futures markets to ultimately profit them at the expense of other participants.
Successful futures traders need an edge on their opponents. They need some method – in Bill Dunn’s case it is mathematical modeling – which can predict the markets better than their opponents can.
In October 1974 Bill Dunn founded Dunn Capital Management. He began using his own computer-based trading and risk management models to invest funds on behalf of clients.
Since 1974, Dunn Capital Management has compounded money at an awe-inspiring average of 20.4 percent per annum – a performance that rivals Warren Buffett’s.
If you had been fortunate (or wise) enough to invest $10,000 with Bill Dunn in 1974, by 2006 your investment would have grown to $3.5 million.
Bill has built a company with 19 associates, each averaging 13 years experience in the sector. His company manages over $1 billion of investor funds.
If you would like to invest with Bill, there’s bad news. Demand for his services is now so strong that he only accepts clients with a minimum of $10,000,000 dollars to invest.
Bill is a great example of an outstanding technical analyst. He isn’t as famous as Warren Buffett, but his market performance is equally brilliant.
