Not apropos of this latest piece necessarily, but I would like to thank you for your outstanding work across multiple asset classes. I’m particularly grateful for the long term focus that allows us to get into position and maintain position prudently. As you say, without “swing calls every other week or month”. It is so amusing to see frustrated Twitter comments that a call was “wrong” because it “hasn’t worked” for a month!
It’s remarkable how your work has stood up even with the ongoing casinofication of our markets.
I’ve been an analyst for 30 years now and I sure wish I had discovered your work earlier!
Sincerely,
-R.D. (Manager of ~$5 B in global tech stocks)

Happy New Year to you and your staff! I wish you all the best!
I cannot say enough good things about your services. All of the purchases that I have made this year based on your recommendations have been successful. Another positive side effect: I am no longer terrified that I am going to lose all of my retirement funds. The buy/sell information and information about the economy and markets that MSA provides has been a plus for me emotionally. I feel much more confident about my investments.

"I have found Michael Oliver's MSA research to be extremely valuable. His Momentum Structural Analysis methodology and his many years of experience using it combine to make this a unique technical research service. He has been accurate and timely over a broad range of asset classes for many years. His S&P call at the beginning of this year was outstanding (and profitable)."

"For most people who are of a fundamental ilk as I am, not only might we miss the train as it moves out of the station but it is extremely tiring and distractive. I think your ability to discern the major turns and major crucial and secular runs is why I find you of so much value. We have not seen a technical analyst that has been more reliable than you."

In a letter to head of St. Louis Fed, 2000: "The Fed does not intentionally target commodity prices, but the enclosed report on the CRB (arguing major upturn in commodities) should be taken seriously. I have worked with Mike Oliver, the author of this report for 25 years and have found him to be one of the most competent technicians in America."

"I strongly endorse Momentum Structural Analysis (MSA) offered by Michael Oliver. My firm has utilized his services for over 20 years. His approach to technical analysis is completely unique in that rather than use traditional moving averages with support and resistance he analyzes the underlying structure of a security or market. This work tends to serve as an early indicator of change. He has also been very helpful at customized request."
