Floyd's commodities trading and futures trading strategies are based on many years of market observations and trading experience. He's been around and seen it all, from the crash of 1987 to the tech wreck at the end of the 1990's.  During this time he predicted the end of the commodities bear market and beginning of the next bull market.  He predicted a shift into commodities following the real estate collapse in 2008.  Between 1997 and 2004 Floyd turned wildly bullish on gold (under $400/oz) and recommended longer-term investments in both gold and silver at that time (note: silver was trading around $5 an ounce).  In 1998 he also wrote a special report where he predicted the end of the bear market in commodities and the beginning of the next commodities bull market (note: at the time of his report, crude oil was trading around $10 a barrel).

Bottom Line:  Floyd has spent years developing trading systems that work. "Fancy charts and rows of monitors aren't going to do what a robust method can do for your trading", according to Floyd. "It all comes down to having a method that works, having faith in the method, and of course the guts to follow it. "
