About
After spending nearly 20 years developing pattern recognition software for the United States Air Force, I retired from my military career in 2005. My plan was to utilize the same pattern recognition principals I used in the military and apply them to the largest and most lucrative market in the world: the stock market.
While I found that my skill set allowed me to quickly find success trading stocks in my personal account, I also noticed an opportunity: almost every investment professional I knew used relative strength in their investment selection process. Yet, there weren’t any books on the subject available.
My book Smarter Investing in Any Economy: The Definitive Guide to Relative Strength was published in 2008. The book provided information to professional and individual investors that wasn’t available anywhere else and created such demand that copies were commanding as much as $4,000 on resale websites.
While making a presentation about the book to a local chapter of the CFA Institute, the founder of a small investment firm asked me to join him in managing money. I joined the firm which had about $80 million in assets under management at the time. Two years later, we had grown the firm to $200 million under management.
Managing money was fun. Managing people and business operations was not. So, I went back to writing and advising others on how to build incredible wealth.
Through Banyan Hill, I’m now able to reach an audience of investors that are interested in using the same tools as professionals to increase their wealth through my three advisory services, One Trade, Peak Velocity Trader and Precision Profits.

This Is Why Stocks Are Doomed
Earnings season is almost done. With 87% of the companies reporting for the fourth quarter of 2019, it looks like earnings grew 0.9% last year. But more important than what earnings were is the question of what earnings will be. Companies often provide earnings...
Michael Carr uses his decades of experience as a trading system designer to deliver a strategy that beats the market, pinpointing options on the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA) with the highest probability of delivering gains every week.
Precision Profits uses a powerful strike zone indicator including four rules of engagement to target trades with incredible consistency. It’s giving readers the chance to make gains of 100% or more each month without needing to own a single stock.
After spending 10 years perfecting it in his own account, Michael Carr was able to develop a four-line code that pinpoints stocks at the exact moment they are ready to take off — or, as he calls it, stocks that are hitting their “peak velocity.” For that reason, it has the potential to make a million dollars for users … in just 18 months.
