Plazaview.com evolved from the experience and insight of two proprietary traders. As exchange members, trading on the floor of the New York Futures Exchange (NYFE), during the mid-80's, Mr. J. S. Bickford and Mr. J. S. Cohen, both with years of prior market trading experience, found a way to resolve the demanding realities of day trading and leveraged risk management. That insight became a powerful forecast system as it evolved to application in other markets with consistent and accurate results. Today, the same competitive advantage is available through the weekly forecasts of Plazaview.com. The weekly forecasts can be successfully applied by both, short term and long term money managers, trading and investing in the financial markets.

J. S. Bickford is the editor and chief market analyst at Plazaview.com. His market experience began in New York City as a proprietary portfolio manager during the "stag-flation" decade of the 1970's. That extended period of sideways movement in the stock market, combined with inflation, introduced many conservative money managers to futures markets as a 5% of capital adjunct for improved risk/reward performance. Always on the leading edge, this period of experience led to Mr. Bickford's broader insight and application of fundamental and technical forecasting in the dynamic financial markets.

During the mid-80's, Mr. Bickford designed a day trading system for proprietary use. This computer driven system of index arbitrage was for trading between the S&P 500 index and the NYSE index. As the 1980's evolved and the index arbitrage became more commonly understood, Mr. Bickford evolved his proprietary trading applications to daily market forecasting for the benefit of day traders. This system provided an early warning of the major correction that occurred in 1987. This consistent market insight, forecast accuracy, and adaptation to market change is now available to investment professionals via Plazaview.com.

Today, Mr. Bickford's forecasts are based on many years of broad market experience and dynamic, adaptive skills. Through Plazaview.com, the reader will find insightful, weekly forecasts that are clear and succinct.
