Blake Verdun's bio

I am a 36 year old, married man with 2 lovely daughters. I was a top high school football/track athlete (ran a 4.3 in the 40 yard dash) from Flint, Mi who received a Football scholarship to Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, OH. My major was Political Science. I enjoy Talk Radio, Financial Television/Radio/Websites,
College & Pro Football & spending time with my family.

Since, college I became a top Sales Manager in the field of Exterior Maintenance of top "Box stores". These retail outlets include: Lowe's, Best Buy, WalMart, Sam's Club, Meijers (favorite account) & General Motors. In addition to this, a good friend of mine owns a Multi-Million dollar Home Restoration business in Swartz Creek, MI that specializes in Mold Remediation, Water Damaging, "Trashing out" foreclosed homes and remodeling. I was recently his Marketing Director.

This same individual in 1993 said to me "With your excellent memory, your love for statistics and vast knowledge of sports [I published a Sport magazine called "Sportscope" in 1998] you should consider one of two professions. Either Sales or Stock Portfolio manager." Well, within the next year I entered the Sales force and 4 years later I ventured into "Penny stocks" in 1999. I was definitely a neophyte!

In mid 2000 I gave up trading and said "this is for the birds!" However, within 10 months my friend calls me up and says "I need some help with stock trading". I tell him "you must be crazy". He informs me he just attended a Wayne Cook seminar (a stock market Snake Oil salesman who advises "Naked Puts") and he just lost $3,500 on a Krispy Kreme Call Option. I agreed to visit him and the journey into Stock Market knowledge begins.

Our journey begins learning the Stock Market in a 2001 Bear Market. Dangerous & treacherous waters yet I called it "Navy Seal training".
It is April 1, 2001 (how appropriate) and we begin training. We didn't start trading the NASDAQ Option Market for a few months and we are hitting 50%....then comes September 11, 2001. We lose $7,000 and are accounts are nearly wiped out. The loses are 85% of our total account. WELCOME to BOOT CAMP soldier! Within a few months my friend bails out and I am left alone as a castaway on this deserted island called "Rookie Stock Option trader".

I persevered (I keep funding my trading account) and wiped out my account 7 more times through early 2004....WOW! All the while gaining valuable knowledge of what not to do. Thomas Edison wrote "I have not failed 700 times. I have just proven 700 times it does not work. I shall find what works."

This self taught college education begins with reading John Murphy books, attending a Alexander Elder workshop in Las Vegas in November 2001, visiting Bernie Schaeffer's website and hearing his views on Moving Averages, Sentiment indicators & crowd psychology, studying Rick LaPoints 5 EMA "Stray-too-Far Theory", consuming all of the indicators & oscillators at Carl Swellin's site Desionpoint.com,
especially his PMO Oscillator, which is brillant, and learning the mindset/psychology of a trader from Price Headley @ BigTrends.com.

I have a mind like a "Steel Trap" and am able to process alot of information. My specialty growing up was Sport statistics, History & geography. A have a plethora knowledge of various trivia and was known as an "information junkie". In 1995 I dabbled in Sports handicapping (The sales manager at Value Furniture pulled me into this cest pool) and was a confirmed +71% handicapper. I learned the saying in Sports betting which is "Stats and Trends never lie". [Sounds like "The Trend is your friend"] That stuck with me and lo and behold my foray into the Stock Market was right around the corner where this type of expertise would be appreciated and very rewarding.

In 5 1/2 years I have put in over 15,000 study hours! From 2001 - late 2005 my average night sleep was 4 - 5 hours. My thrist for Stock Market knowledge seemed to be insatiable. This past spring all of my hard work began to pay off. I started a dialogue with Richard Willaims who had just began writing for FinancialSense.com. I sent him my only Stock Market invention called the "Volume Decline Indicator". It looks like a Blue mountain with Gold grass and has a Red Dotted line. It sounds odd but it is very simple to comprehend and accurately foretells early Selling in the NASDAQ. I use the QQQQ vs. $NADNV @ Stockcharts.com. I make the price "Invisible", only use Exponential Moving Averages and utilize the advanced SharpCharts 2 Beta sytem at Stockcharts.com.

This peaked his interest and he wrote back "What is this? Tell me more." VIOLE!! This began a discourse and I began to write him in the Summer and inform him that the "the long WEEKLY 200 point Tail on the $NYA was rare" and this might be the early indication that SMART Money was accumulating. Then in mid August I wrote hime and said "I believe the bottom is in concerning the NASDAQ" because the "$XCI had jammed up". The $XCI contains the top 12 stocks in the NASDAQ 100 that equate for 83% of this index. It has 18 more stocks that make up 17%. I also wrote in late August/early September "this run shall last into late November 2006". POW! BOOM! BAM!

As the months went on I have accurately predicted Commodities & Currencies also. These emails have been saved to prove my skill. I would love to email you a few of these winning recommendations. I believe now is the appropriate time to bring my skills to America.

I cannot wax eloquently like BigTrends.com's Price Headley or the great author John Murphy about: Interest rates, Bond yields, Inflation/Deflation and China buying up our debt, etc... However, what I can do is this....MARKET TIMING. My skill in this is Top Notch. This is why I send emails to whom I consider the Top Market Sages to dispaly my skills and build Stock Market creditability. I do not take lightly my recommendations. They are carefully vetted, scutinized and systematically tested. The Security/Index/Commodity/Currency that I recommend has to cut the mustard before I consider it. The system I have carefully constructed will perform at an +70% clip but more importantly it will earn +4% every month!
