Hi, my name is John Atkinson, here at StockMarketWizardsOfAus.com, which in turn is owned by ShareTradingEducation.com.
Before writing 'The Stock Market Wizards Of Aus,'
I previously wrote the internationally selling ebook 'The Atkinson-Guppy Articles' and with Jim Berg, co-authored '10 Secrets to Profitable Online Stock & Share Trading' and with Tim Wilcox in UK... 'How to Write Your Own Stock and Futures Trading Plan.'
Along with Jim Berg, I also publish the 'Investing and Online Trading' mentoring style newsletter and a Free online Weekly Wrap, trading ezine that are enjoyed by thousands of traders and investors across the world.
Let me assure you of one thing... without proper planning and education, you may end up with a stock portfolio that is a disaster waiting to happen. We know. We've been there.
I originally achieved a First Class Honors Degree in Civil Engineering in the UK , before emigrating to Australia, via South Africa and SE Asia. Having worked as a successful Civil Engineer for many years, I thought I could simply adapt my analytical skills to trading the market... as complete novices, my wife Angela and I literally doubled a large portfolio in only 6 months...
Soon after, we listened to a 'professional' broker's advice to hold on to falling margined stocks in the tech stock crash of 2000... as a result, we lost our Sydney Harbour waterfront home and were set back 20 years financially...
We wouldn't want you to go through even one of the countless sleepless nights and the gut wrenching fear, financial and emotional loss that Angela and I, experienced as a result.
With the passing of a few years, we are now more than qualified to share our knowledge on how NOT to trade!
That's why, with Jim Berg (below), I dedicate myself to co-editing and publishing our now world famous 'Investing and Online Trading' weekly mentoring-style newsletter at ShareTradingEducation.com - to teach traders and investors how to avoid the pitfalls of the market... as well as Jim's profitable trading strategies that really work.
After we lost our home, Angela and I were hungry to find credible information on how to trade successfully - information which we wish we'd looked for, or had been advised of, prior. (Isn't hindsight wonderful).
In the process we formed some strong relationships with some of the Wizards in this ebook who gave us a helping hand to us personally pull ourselves out of the pit we were in... we will be forever grateful.
To save you from re-inventing the wheel and making the mistakes we made, I've personally hand selected 8 top stock and derivatives traders and investors for you.
Each of 'The Stock Market Wizards Of Aus' in this unique ebook have the runs on the board to show you how they trade profitably and how they minimize risk.
From their combined decades of real-life experience in the market, each Wizard proves a summary of their life's work and reveals their thoughts as to what they've found the most important keys for long term survival and profitability.
Here's a brief summary of the bios of the Wizards who will help you to short cut your own learning-curve, in this ebook...
With over 25 years experience in the investment industry, Jim Berg is a former professional broker and now a private trader from home.
His profitable trading strategies have been proven to really work and can be applied by any short term trader or longer term investor.
Jim is a sought after educator who has appeared on Sky Business Channel, CNBC Asia and Market Wrap and has been a guest speaker at the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), the Sydney Futures Exchange, the Australian Technical Analysts Association and many Traders Expos.
His articles have been published in the 'ASX Newsletter' and on the ASX website and in 'Shares,' 'Personal Investor,' 'Your Trading Edge' magazines in Australia and 'Technical Analysis - Stocks and Commodities' in USA .
He is the author of 'The Share Trader's Handbook', now republished as an ebook 'The Stock Trading Handbook - Fundamental and Technical Analysis Combined.' Jim also co-authored '10 Secrets to Profitable Online Trading' and 'How to Write Your Own Stock and Futures Trading Plan' ebooks.
Jim's world famous JB Volatility Indicators are now featured as standard indicators on at least 18 stock charting software packages around the globe.
Jim's exclusive December 2007 report 'Crash vs Bear Market' Report detailed his technical analysis of the warning signals AHEAD of the 2008 crash. Jim closed our newsletter's notional portfolio on 7 January 2008... months before the savage free-falls.
In 2008-2009 many so-called 'professional' Fund Managers around the world lost half of their clients' funds - and some even more. In comparison, since he started our newsletter's short term trading and long term investing notional portfolios in 2005, Jim Berg has never had a major loss on any single trade or portfolio.
Jim Berg has educated and helped thousands of traders around the world. Under his guidance, Jim has helped some to develop extra cash flow to assist their weekly budget, others he's helped right through to retiring early and Trading for a Living.

My wife Angela and I first heard Alan speak at a Traders Expo in Sydney in late 2001 and were struck by his common sense approach to long term stock investing using his Active Investing system. Like Jim Berg, Alan Hull combines fundamental and technical analysis to help increase his chances of success.
We recall Alan saying: "I'm basically lazy. If I can check the progress of my stock portfolio over a glass of orange juice with breakfast on Sunday morning, I'm happy."

He currently holds Registered Representative status, acting as a Private Client Adviser with

Jason Mitchell is a full time trader who works closely with his friend Daryl Guppy. We first heard of him through his excellent in-depth articles he began writing for Daryl's newsletter 'Tutorials in Applied Technical Analysis' (GuppyTraders.com) in about 2004.
We later met in Sydney to discuss his new JICD Indicator...
.. which he had created as an add-on to Metastock to increase his own trading profitability. We were immediately impressed at how Jason had achieved a lot in a short period of time, both in and outside of the market.
Since that time, Jason has gone from strength to strength and has become an accomplished trader and educator. Jason says "Having traded part time for eight years, I switched to trading full time 5 years ago. Trading is now my main source of income."
He recently teamed up with Daryl Guppy to create a set of Advanced Trading CD's to detail the steps professional traders use to find opportunities.
Jason also publishes his own newsletter 'The StarTrader Report' at StarTraderReport.com.
In this ebook, Jason reveals valuable insights on how he achieved the dream of many young and not so young traders - of becoming a full time trader.
