Meeting # 2:

Speaker:	Ryan Jones
Date:	Tuesday October 17, 2006
Time:	7:00 p.m. (Registration 6:30)
Duration:	2 hours +/-
Location:	Crowne Plaza
7, 2006 Time: 7:00 p.m. (Registration 6:30) Duration: 2 hours +/- Location: Crowne Plaza     Ryan Jones is considered one of the trading industries "most complete traders". Starting his trading career at the early age of 16, he had traded nearly every major market and strategy by the age of 21. At the age of 26, Ryan signed a book deal with John Wiley making him one of the youngest authors ever in the field of futures trading. His book, The Trading Game, Playing by the Numbers to Make Millions is still considered to be the authority on the subject of trading and money management by many leading traders. Ryan's advanced experience and knowledge across many trading fields such as Technical Analysis, Option Trading, Money Management and the S&P have lead to several trading feats, including turning a $15,000 account into over $107,000 in less than 90-days short-term trading the S&P (real money). FACT BASED TRADING: "  My topic is going to be based on FACT based trading versus HISTORICAL (or technical analysis) based trading.  When a trading strategy is based on historical market action, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.  However, when trading strategies are based on something factual (i.e. fixed probabilities), past performance could be indicative of future results.    After 15 years of spending 60 - 80 hours trading, researching and studying the markets, I am convinced that the only true path to long term success is to build a foundation on FACT based trading and then SUPPLEMENT it with technical analysis strategies.  I will be bringing some pretty incredible statistical information and performance (real money) track records to support my conclusions. "    Thanks Ryan    Meeting # 3: * Second Tuesday Meeting due to Holidays Speaker: Don Wilson http://www.donsfunds.com Date: Tuesday November 14, 2006 Time: 7:00 p.m. (Registration 6:30) Duration: 2 hours +/- Location: Crowne Plaza Presentation: Download Here (.ppt)     About Don L. Wilson My background has been in large corporations and later in small businesses. At 71 I am retired now, but before that I considered myself a businessman. I have successfully owned/bought/sold several small businesses. This has helped me immensely in the investment arena, because you take the same kinds of risk and learn you can't win them all in business. You learn how to control your losses and your risk just as you must do with investing. I started this Tango5 effort to begin teaching my adult children how to invest my way, the Tango way. It just developed from there, now I have some friends and several hundred others around the country using this process for investing. I have been investing in the financial markets since 1989. Over that period I have tried many types of investments and the one I use now described as Tango5 works best for me. Tango5 is a packaged semi automatic mechanical Mutual Fund/ETF trading method; all the design and programming is completed for you. All you do is set up the files in the correct directories, download the data, and double click a batch file on your desk top. This runs all the files and outputs a complete report with instructions to “Buy” “Sell” or “Hold”. I will be presenting the Tango5 Overview – Intermediate Term Cycle. When to be in or out of the market - When to "Buy" and when to "Sell". What to “Buy”, the fund/ETF Filtering and Selection Process. Monitor Your Holdings. A Report for monitoring your positions. Monitor Your Total Capital. Report and Equity Chart. Back Testing and Real Time Performance.

Meeting # 7: Speaker: Tom & Sherman McLellan http://www.mcoscillator.com Date: March 20, 2007 Time: 7:00 p.m. (Registration 6:30) Duration: 2 hours +/- Location: Crowne Plaza     The McClellan Market Report and its companion Daily Edition are produced by the father and son team of Sherman McClellan and Tom McClellan. Both approach the task of stock market analysis from unconventional backgrounds. Sherman:   Sherman earned a degree in business administration and economics in college, but found out after graduation that the standard types of fundamental analysis taught did not provide enough of the answers concerning why and when stock market prices moved. Dissatisfaction with a number of methods for technical analysis led him to develop new techniques for assessing market conditions. Sherman and his mathematician wife Marian developed the McClellan Oscillator and Summation Index in 1969. Many other traders, investors, and software developers have found these to be useful market timing tools. The Oscillator is derived from the number of advances and declines each day on the New York Stock Exchange. To learn more about these indicators, go to Oscillator. Sherman brought these indicators to the public during guest appearances on Charting The Market, a technical analysis television program aired on KWHY in Los Angeles. As a result of these appearances, public interest in Sherman and Marian McClellan's new indicators increased. They were invited by the late Mr. P. N. Haurlan, publisher of the Trade Levels Report newsletter, to publish a book detailing their research. The book Patterns For Profit was the result of this effort. Development of the McClellan Oscillator and Summation Index took place before access to computers was widely available. The first edition of their book included 8 years of data on the Oscillator and Summation Index portrayed in comparison to the NYSE Composite Index, and all data points were computed and plotted manually. For the purpose of verifying the signals given from NYSE data, they also calculated and graphed Oscillators and Summation Indices using AMEX advance/decline data and NYSE and AMEX up-volume/down-volume. This was before the Nasdaq even became a market. The amount of work required to perform the calculations this way limited the further development of market timing tools using these techniques. The development of personal computers opened up new capabilities for using the trend analysis techniques which are part of the McClellan Oscillator. Several popular market analysis software packages now include versions of the McClellan Oscillator and Summation Index. An updated edition of Patterns for Profit with 40 years of computer generated chart data is available from McClellan Financial Publications, Inc. You can read more about it at Products, and to order, go to Subscription. Sherman is a member of the Market Technicians Association, and has conducted a number of seminars on the McClellan Oscillator and Summation Index and spoken to many investor groups around the country. Under the auspices of Sherman McClellan & Associates, he provides market timing advisory service to selected institutional clients. From 1976 to 2003, he and his family also owned and operated Admiral Plastics Corp., a custom plastic injection molding company in Los Angeles.   Tom Sherman and Marian's son Tom McClellan has done extensive analytical spreadsheet development for the stock and commodities markets, including the synthesizing of the four year Presidential Cycle Pattern. He has fine tuned the rules for interrelationships between financial markets to provide leading indications for important market and economic data. Tom is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point where he studied aerospace engineering, and he served as an Army helicopter pilot for 11 years. He began his own study of market technical analysis while still in the Army, and discovered ways to expand the use of his parents' indicators to forecast future market turning points. Tom views the movements of prices in the financial market through the eyes of an engineer, which allows him to focus on what the data really say rather than interpreting events according to the same "conventional wisdom" used by other analysts. In 1993, he left the Army to join his father in pursuing a new career doing this type of analysis. Tom and Sherman spent the next 2 years refining their analysis techniques and laying groundwork. In April 1995 they launched their newsletter, The McClellan Market Report, an 8 page report covering the stock, bond, and gold markets, which is published twice a month. They utilize the unique indicators they have developed to present their view of the market's structure as well as their forecasts for future trend direction and the timing of turning points. A Daily Edition was added in February 1998 to give subscribers daily updates on their indicators and also provide market position indications for stocks, bonds, XAU and gold. Their subscribers range from individual investors to professional fund managers. Tom serves as editor of both publications, and runs the newsletter business from its location in Lakewood, WA.   Meeting # 8: Speaker: Robert Miner http://www.dynamictraders.com Date: April 17, 2007 Time: 7:00 p.m. (Registration 6:30) Duration: 2 hours +/- Location: Crowne Plaza SPECIAL LIVE SEMINAR ON SATURDAY: Click Here to Register     Robert Miner teaches practical, real-world trading strategies.

Tim has had numerous articles published from 1991 to present in "Stock and Commodities Magazine". His last one published by "Stock and Commodities Magazine" appeared in the May 2004 issue. That article covered trading rules he developed using price and volume. He has another article, on the publisher's desk now that may be published later this year, explaining price and volume relationships and signals they generate. In 2004 he developed a software program for stocks and index trading that uses the volume strength in a swing to determine buy and sell signals. Tim calls his software program "Ord-Volume" and is actively marketing this program worldwide. He has given numerous seminars from coast to coast along with lectures to financial groups.  In the early 1990's Tim Ord introduced a new trading method using the NYSE Tick index combined with candlestick charting. Several articles where published about this method in the "Stock and Commodities Magazine" in the early to mid 1990's. This method is now used worldwide by short term traders. More recently he has focused on the bigger trend of the market and has gotten away from short-term trading. His focus now is centered on price and volume relationships. He has studied extensively on the works of legendary price and volume trader "Richard Wyckoff". "Richard Wyckoff" was a famous trader that made his mark in the 1930's with his price and volume methods.
