• Dr. Russell McDougal, D.D.S.
  
  Dr. Russell McDougal is a practicing dentist of over 30 years as well as a past professor of dentistry. The most fitting description of Rusty is the word "student," and his appetite for learning was only whetted with his formal education. He is a voracious reader and has been known to focus on a particular topic daily for a decade or more.
  
  Rusty has been an active investor for 25 years, holding everything from stocks, bonds and mutual funds, to options, futures, currencies, limited partnerships, private placements and rare coins. Before the days of the internet, he typically subscribed to 10 to 12 financial newsletters at a time. He has learned from the brightest and the best.
  
  Since 1993, Dr. McDougal has focused almost exclusively on gold, silver and resource investing. He has a particular affinity for silver and has studied virtually everything available on the topic since 1994. Today, Dr. McDougal's personal portfolio is a virtual mutual fund of natural resource exploration and development companies.
  
  Over the years, he has developed an excellent understanding of the risk and reward elements involved and has discovered exactly what it takes to become ultra-successful in this speculators' paradise. If you have ever dreamed of engaging in prudent speculations that can return $5... $10... or even $20 for every $1 invested, you'll want to pay close attention when Rusty writes for Investor's Daily Edge.
  
  Dr. McDougal is a bold and outspoken advocate of honest money, honest markets and honest, constitutional government.
• Rick Pendergraft
  
  Inspired by his high school economics teacher, Rick Pendergraft fell in love with the markets at an early age. He entered his first investing competition at 17, and opened his first brokerage account before he finished college. At the age of 23, on the third options trade he had ever placed, Rick turned $1,800 into $22,000 in less than a week, when the company he bought became the target of a takeover. He admits it was a stroke of luck, but it was a memorable education as to the leverage that options can provide.
  
  After a ten year career in banking, Rick decided to pursue trading full-time. To get his foot in the door, he started out in the sales department at Schaeffer's Investment Research. It was not long before his talent was recognized and he was invited to apprentice under Bernie Schaeffer, one of the top options traders in the world. Rick thrived in his new position and twice received the award for "Top Trader."
  
  Rick has developed a loyal following of readers who are grateful for his timely warnings and profitable advice. He is widely recognized as a market expert and has been frequently quoted by Reuters, BusinessWeek, Forbes, USA Today, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. Rick's primary focus is on identifying short and intermediate term rising and falling trends in the major market sectors. His analysis is based on technical factors along with indicators of market sentiment
  
  Rick is currently the Editor-in-Chief of The ETF Options Trader and the Triple Wave Investor.
