About Morry Markovitz
We are pleased to announce that Morry Markovitz will soon be bringing his expert analysis to The Speculator's Edge.
Here is a brief synopsis of Morry's background:
Morris J. Markovitz is the sole stockholder, Director and officer of Mercury
Management Associates, Inc. ("Mercury"), a New York corporation
located at 50 Broadway, Suite 3700, New York, N.Y. 10004 (telephone
number (212) 785-3900.
Prior to founding Mercury, Mr. Markovitz operated as a CTA in the form of a
sole proprietorship beginning in October, 1988. Mr. Markovitz served as
President and Chief Executive Officer of Balfour Maclaine Advisors, Inc., a
registered commodity trading advisor, from August 1988 until October, 1988,
and served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Balfour Maclaine
Advisors, Inc.'s predecessor entity, a registered commodity trading advisor
also called Mercury Management Associates Inc., from September, 1986 until
August, 1988. From January, 1983 until October, 1986, Mr. Markovitz served
as Senior Trader for A.C. Israel Enterprises, Inc., a private investment
firm. Mr. Markovitz was employed by Commodities Corporation, a commodities
trading firm, from November, 1974 until December, 1982, and was responsible
for research and trading in a broad range of commodities. Commodities
Corporation appointed Mr. Markovitz a Senior Vice President in charge of a
research and trading group in 1979. From May 1972 until November 1974, Mr.
Markovitz was employed by CBWL-Hayden Stone, Inc., a predecessor of Shearson
Lehman Hutton, Inc., a major brokerage firm, as a researcher in grain and
soybean markets. Previously, Mr. Markovitz worked as a scientific programmer
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's ("MIT") Charles Stark Draper
Laboratory, as part of the group that designed and developed the guidance
system for NASA's Apollo Project spacecraft. Mr. Markovitz holds a degree in
physics from MIT.
Mr. Markovitz has authored 2 books. Amos Hostetter: A Successful
Speculator's Approach to Commodities Trading (1977) presents a detailed
summary of the trading philosophy and techniques of the legendary commodities
speculator Amos Hostetter, with whom Mr. Markovitz was professionally
associated on a daily basis for many years through their respective
relationships with Commodities Corporation. In 1993, Mr. Markovitz's book
How to Beat the Street with Plan Z was published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.,
introducing a new strategy for investment in zero-coupon bonds and
containing, amongst other things, a) the first disproof of the commonly
accepted view that the technique of "dollar-cost-averaging" can be
effectively applied to enhance returns of zero-coupon bond investments; and
b) a completely new general investment strategy, developed by Mr. Markovitz
for particular application in the zero-coupon bond market, whose
return-enhancing potential surpasses that of the well-known "dynamic
balancing" strategy.
Mr. Markovitz's views regarding specific financial and commodity markets, as
well as his "macro" economic outlook, have frequently received the attention
of the financial and economic communities via publication in economic
journals as well as numerous print, radio, and television vehicles, such as
BARRON'S Magazine, Wall Street Journal, Investor's Business Daily, USA Today,
CNN, CNBC, CBS-TV, etc. Mr. Markovitz also authors a monthly market letter,
writes Mercury's (stock market) hedge advisory letter, produces a fax
advisory service, provides economic consulting services, and occasionally
engages in public speaking.
