Biography:

Jeff Weiss is chief technical analyst at Clearview Trading Advisors, Inc. After earning his B.A. degree in economics at Rutgers University, Weiss joined the investment advisory firm of Indicator Digest in Palisades Park, New Jersey. In 1982 he joined E.F. Hutton and Company as a full-fledged technical analyst working for the legendary Newton Zinder, moving to Shearson Lehman Hutton with the merger in 1988. Weiss subsequently served as chief technical analyst at Lehman Brothers before joining PaineWebber in April of 1993 in that same capacity. He served in that role at several smaller firms in the New York City area, most recently joining Clearview Trading Advisors, Inc. in August 2014. He also publishes a weekly stock market comment and supplemental market and sector reports.

It was at E.F Hutton that Weiss developed the technical analysis risk-management approach to investing, which evolved from his own personal trading experiences and observations. Having devoted his entire professional life to the study of the stock market, his book “Relationship Investing: Stock Market Therapy for Your Money” (Skyhorse Publishing, 2017)  imparts what Weiss believes are key investment rules for an investment lifetime. Its focus isn’t about how to become rich, but rather how not to become poor when investing one’s hard-earned capital.

Weiss has been a member of the Market Technicians Association since 1984, from which he earned his Chartered Market Technician (CMT) designation in 1989. He’s been a featured guest on Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser, and was a keynote speaker for 2014’s Money Management Institute conference in New York City with approximately 250 attendees. Jeff has also appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box, Fast Money, Talking Numbers, and Trading Nation shows. Jeff is a regular guest on Bloomberg Radio, and has also been quoted in Barron’s and Barron’s On-Line. He has addressed finance classes at Rutgers University, Cornell University’s Graduate Business School, New York University Business School and Muhlenberg College, and was invited to be a featured speaker for the American Institute of CPA’s. He’s taught technical analysis to both local and international audiences at the New York Institute of Finance, and has served as a guest presenter on numerous stock market panels. He’s also spoken to the New York City Teachers in conjunction with the nationally recognized Stock Market Game.
