Richard Russell began publishing
Dow Theory Letters in 1958.
Russell gained wide
recognition via a series of over 30 Dow Theory and
technical articles that he wrote for Barron's during the
late-'50s through the '90s. In 1989, Richard Russell took over
Julian Snyder's advisory service,
"International Moneyline", a service which Mr. Snyder
ran from Switzerland. Then, in
1998 Richard Russell took over the Zweig
Forecast from market
analyst Martin Zweig.
Richard Russell was educated at
Rutgers and received his BA at
NYU. He has written articles and
has been quoted in such
publications as Bloomberg
magazine, Barron's, Time,
Newsweek, Money Magazine, the
Wall Street Journal, the New
York Times, Reuters, and others.
The
Dow Theory Letters, published
and mailed every three weeks,
cover the US stock market,
foreign markets, bonds, precious
metals, commodities, economics
-- plus Richard Russell's
comments and observations and
stock market philosophy. One of the features of the
Letter is Richard Russell's daily Primary Trend Index (PTI),
which is a proprietary index that has been included in
the Letters since 1971. The PTI is a guide to the trend of the market,
and it often actually differs with Russell's opinions, but Russell always defers to his PTI.
The latest Primary Trend Index
figure for the day is posted on
DowTheoryLetters.com a few hours
after the close of the market.
Also included on the website are
Richard Russell's comments on
the day's action along with
critical market data.

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.
