Richard Russell is a legend among financial newsletter writers with over 1500 Dow Theory Letters to his credit. His consistent ability to find the few kernels of value among the tons of Wall Street chaff is remarkable. He’s one of the few who not only has the perspective of decades of experience, but also can apply it successfully to investment strategy. Plus readers get his wonderful stories, starting with his experience as a World War II bombardier.

I’ve been reading Richard Russell for 20 years. I just don’t feel comfortable about the markets until I’ve read his comments. He’s got so much experience. If he’s worried. I feel like I should worry. If he’s not worried, I’m not going to worry either.

I have followed Richards work for more than two decades. There is nobody like him and no more straight-forward approach to market analysis. One of the toughest lessons an investor learns is to stick with what works. I would guess that a legion of investors have learned this lesson from Richard. If so, they are doing very well.

Richard Russell is a legend in himself. We owe him the continuous study of Dow Theory in its pure form, keeping that original technical application of Charles Dow alive for future generations. His own PTI indicator has kept one on the right side of the market and protected on the downside. Richard was also an original proponent of Gold and its place in ones portfolio as protection against fiat money. From a personal perspective, he has always been forthcoming and generous with his time with the courtesy of a gentleman. It has been a privilege to have known him professionally for so many exciting years.
