Dr. Richard Smith - The Stock Market Explained as a System: Principles, Mechanics and Strategies

Dr. Richard Smith believes that risk literacy is essential not only for independent investors; it’s essential for anyone looking to succeed in today’s exploding digital marketplaces. Pulling from his expertise in mathematics and technology, Dr. Smith advises his clients on how to navigate the noise and distractions presented by the media and social platforms, allowing them to direct their attention to the things that matter most in their personal & investment lives. Dr. Smith studied mathematics at UC Berkeley and earned a PhD in systems science from the Watson School of Engineering at SUNY. He serves as chairman of the board and executive director of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles and is a regular columnist and guest on outlets such as CNN, BBC News, MarketWatch, Forbes and NASDAQ.com.
