MIKE WATKINS
Founder; Market Strategist

In 1999, Mike and Teresa Lo first crossed paths at IntelligentSpeculator.com, an on-line trader hangout Teresa had formed to give her an outlet for providing trader education and to bring together those interested in researching market price dynamics. They co-founded TrendVue with a goal to bring classic technical analysis and trading techniques to the masses in a cost-effective format.

Mike employs the same time-tested classic techniques and dash of diabolical thinking that Teresa has long promoted, and it was a natural outcome that the two should find common ground to work together. After collaborating together on an informal basis over the years, including many late nights - connected by phone and Internet - devoted to the refinement of the TrendVue Classic Swing Indicator, TrendVue was born.

Mike's first professional career of 20 years was in information technology, where he held management positions at Fortune 1000 companies including Computer Associates and Data General, before striking out to found a successful niche-market consulting firm specializing in document and work flow management solutions.

His IT background is being put to good use as we develop the next generation of tools designed to assist traders in identifying and managing trade opportunities.

In addition to trading futures and equities, Mike produces Strategies for Success, TrendVue's daily market newsletter and hosts TrendVue Trader Talk, our real-time educational forum for the benefit of our newsletter subscribers.

Mike's mission for TrendVue remains simple to this day: provide understandable, unbiased, and unemotional analysis of market direction and the necessary tools traders and investors need to achieve success. And make it happen each market day.

Stay tuned, TrendVue has some real surprises in store...
