What others who know Chick and his work have said about him, his books, seminars and newsletter (following are just a few of many positive comments on file):

"One of the best mkt traders/writers…. Chick Goslin is an intellectual and a man of principle."
-- Harry Schultz, The International Harry Schultz Letter


"Just a note of appreciation for the trading education you're giving: the book, the daily market reviews, and other materials. I have been trading and learning for 2 1/2 years. Many books, seminars, and courses. This is by far the best experience I've had. Your approach is right for me."
-- Bob Morss, La Jolla, CA


"After reading Chick's book I had the good fortune to attend his seminar in Beverly Hills and was very impressed with what I saw and heard. Chick holds nothing back. He lays out his entire methodology in such a way that even beginners with only a working knowledge of trading terminology can understand … He's made well over one million dollars in one year and tells you exactly how he did it. In my opinion only a fool would pass up the opportunity to learn from a master trader such as Chick."
