Alan Farley has been in the market for over ten years as a trader and, more recently, writer. His book, The Master Swing Trader, is destined to become a staple in trading literature.
Brice: How did you get started in stocks?
Alan: It started right after the ’87 crash. I developed an interest after that and started to play and pay attention a little bit, more toward the commodities side than the stock side. I’ve always been a private trader; I’ve never worked for a firm or institution. I had another career in the insurance industry up until the early ’90s.
