Chip Anderson is the founder and President of Stockcharts.com. StockCharts.com was founded in 1999 to help online investors obtain and use financial information more effectively. John Murphy joined StockCharts.com in 2002 as the Chief Technical Analyst.

John J. Murphy is a former technical analyst for CNBC, has over 30 years of market experience, and is author of several best-selling books, including Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets — which is widely regarded as the standard reference in the field. John Murphy's book Intermarket Technical Analysis created a new branch of technical analysis emphasizing market linkages. His third book The Visual Investor applies charting principles to sector analysis.

In John Murphy's Market Message, Murphy regularly publishes his observations of the market as it fluctuates, sometimes as often as two or three times per day. Market Message subscribers have exclusive access to this commentary, and are notified by e-mail whenever John Murphy posts a new update.

The SharpCharts tool lets subscribers create financial charts. SharpCharts can create bar charts, line charts and candlestick charts for any stock, index, or mutual fund that StockCharts.com tracks. Subscribers can get intraday, daily, weekly, and monthly charts in a variety of sizes and color schemes. When the markets are open, subscribers will also see an intraday quote and a yellow bar showing the action "so far." SharpCharts supports a collection of technical indicators and overlays that can be added to any chart.

StockChart.com's Scan Engine helps subscribers find charts with particular patterns or technical characteristics, including moving average crossovers, stocks setting new highs or lows, indicators in overbought or oversold territory, and stocks with popular chart patterns.

There are quite a variety of investment newsletter services available to investors today, which achieve a decent track record. In reality, however, many newsletters have not translated well for most investors that subscribe to them. The reason? Money management. Without the proper position sizing using the right money management tool, you are only dealing with half the formula for success.

Let's face it: if there was one consistently successful investment newsletter, then the word would spread rapidly, and that one investment newsletter would have more customers than the population of China. The reality is that there has never been such a success. Why? Because in the final analysis, 8 out of 10 investors fail due to one simple reason: position sizing.

The majority of investors who subscribe to investment newsletters think that the process is as simple as "Just give me your recommendations and let me become as successful as you are". Unfortunately, as money managers know, entry points account for very little in the overall success of a portfolio. Find out why!
