Phil Erlanger: After a tenure as the Chief Technical Analyst at Advest, Phil Erlanger became the Senior Technical Analyst at Fidelity Research and Management in the early 1990s, working alongside star portfolio managers Peter Lynch and Jeff Vinik.

At Fidelity, Phil's proprietary price models and sentiment analysis called some of the biggest wins for Fidelity in this era, including billions of dollars of transactions on junk bonds, currencies, and equities.

Since 1994, Phil Erlanger Research, Inc. has provided unique technical analysis and quantitative research for many of the world's top financial institutions. His proprietary data and analysis are currently in use at institutions that collectively manage over $1 trillion in assets.

Widely regarded as one of the foremost technical analysts in the world, Mr. Erlanger was presented with the Market Technicians Association's coveted Best-of-the-Best Award for Computer Assisted Analysis several times. Phil has served two terms as President of the MTA.

David Menlow: may be the most knowledgeable individual covering the initial public offering (IPO) as well as the secondary issuance space. His company IPO Financial Research is the top player in this research area. David is a frequent contributor to CNBC and they seek him out for valuable information in this niche market.

Whenever a company is coming public, investors turn to David to know whether it is a hot deal or if they should step aside. Moreover, as companies now need access to more capital, David’s secondary rankings will help investors make sense of the pending deal.

In addition to his timely ranks, David is covering many IPOs as they move from an infant company to a teenager. Currently, David is producing research on over 400 companies.

Mohan: is a trader and educator who specializes in trading the e-mini S&P 500 futures contract.

Mohan began his trading career in the early 1990s, trading gold and crude oil during the first Gulf War. After getting hooked on trading while capturing the big uptrend in crude oil during that period, Mohan watched in fascination after the war as money poured out of crude oil and into the S&P 500 at an astonishing rate. This was the starting point for a decade-long obsession with the S&P 500 contract, where he watched nearly every tick every day during an entire 10-year period.

During his decade of intensive research, study, and full-time trading, Mohan developed his proprietary synthesis of 18 powerful market indicators. These indicators are built upon the work of the last generation of master traders; yet Mohan has completely retooled and reinvented them to create a dynamic and profitable methodology for today's market environment.

This proprietary synthesis of 18 market indicators allows Mohan to make exact, crystal clear, "no-waffling" calls on the next day's market direction. During the 1990s, he offered his forecast to a small group of private investors and trading friends, while further honing his methods as a full-time trader of the S&P 500 futures.

James Digeorgia: I’ve enjoyed amazing success from an early age. I began my business career in 1976 when I turned my hobby of rare coin collecting into a multi-million dollar a year business. I was lucky enough to catch the roaring gold market of the 1970s and gain the wealth and experience to become an internationally recognized gold and rare coin expert.

Over the years, I’ve completed hundreds of millions of dollars in precious metal and rare coin transactions and become one of the most quoted experts in the world. In 1997, I launched a high technology letter, 21st Century Investor, and demonstrated my investment savvy by racking up profitable recommendations of 100%, 300%, 500% even 1,000%. I was literally on fire. After the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks I authored several best-selling books including, The New Bull Market in Gold, The Rise of Gold in the 21st Century and The Global War for Oil. I’m so very proud of our team and the RESULTS and PROFITS we have delivered for ourselves and for our subscribers of The Buttonwood Club. Thank you for joining us as a subscriber.
