He even flew to Chicago to work with a former floor trader at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Richard began his professional career at the Celanese Chemical Company and is a licensed Professional Engineer, earning a B.S. in chemical engineering from Michigan State University. He is a member of the Market Technicians Association and the American Association of Professional Technical Analysts. The proprietary Fruth-Sentiment Indicator is used to help pinpoint important lows in the market that may indicate buying opportunities for selected companies.   The goal is to remove emotion from the buying and selling process and stay focused on long-term investment goals, buying when the market has peak pessimism. Markets that overshoot on the upside also overshoot on the downside. The Fruth Sentiment-Indicator identifies scenarios in which we can identify those market bottoms that create excellent buying opportunities. Used by Richard for over a quarter of a century as an integral part of his investment process, this method has proven to be a very reliable indicator of investor sentiment. Individual investors historically are most optimistic at the market tops and most pessimistic at the market bottoms.
