Adam Lass is the Senior Editor of WaveStrength Options Weekly, Editor of PowerSignal and regular contributor for Taipan Daily. He has been called “one of the most brilliant charting minds in the country,” and his deep insight into the economy and value analysis enables him to reliably guide readers through today's incredibly volatile market. Adam’s fascination with technical analysis started in his early days as a wholesale purchasing manager, when successfully forecasting the public’s future spending habits (using Treasury reports, stock trends, interest rates, even the Farmer's Almanac) could mean the difference between prosperity and failure. He has written numerous articles and special investment reports for several major financial publications, including Fleet Street Letter (U.S.), Strategic Investment and Penny Stock Fortunes, on topics ranging from long-term market forecasting, crude oil pricing, and currency speculation to precious metals investing. Adam has also appeared on national television and radio, such as The Morning Show with Bill Meyer, Let’s Talk Money with Chris Deming, and Money Matters with Barry Armstrong, and has been quoted on The Wall Street Journal Web site. His last turn on CNBC’s Squawk Box on July 18, 2007, was marked by controversy when he predicted that the Dow would fall from 13,965 to below 8,000. He was never invited back. Adam resides with his wife on a farm in rural northern Maryland, surrounded by (as he puts it) “too many cats, dogs, children, a maddened woodchuck and a red-tailed hawk.” He enjoys painting with watercolors, playing guitar and reading literature, and is taking a break from reading Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire to focus on Milton's Paradise Lost. Were he to attempt any other profession, it would be to write and illustrate children’s books. Get to Know Adam LassWhat is a hot sector for 2010? Long Gold and Short Dollar Funds: Any central bank that states that it can double currency in circulation in a matter of months without devastating the value of that currency is either lying or deluded. What is one thing an investor should consider when picking a stock? Long-term profitability is always a good place to start. We are talking years at a time here. I really don't care what a business does quarter-to-quarter. Another cool idea: Is management straightforward and honest or do you feel like you need a shower after shaking hands with them? What do you like to do in your free time? We are only allotted but so many hours in life. I shudder to denigrate any as so worthless as to be "free." I am currently on break from Gibbon's Roman Histories to spend some time with Milton's "Paradise Lost." Also, I am a reasonably good watercolorist and a passable guitar player. And then there is always time well spent walking in the woods with the wife, kids and dog. What profession other than yours would you like to try? As I'm currently surrounded by thousands of books, I'd probably keep the ambiance going and write and illustrate children's books. This is as fine a way to starve as any.
