Trader Fred
was a Silicon Valley pioneer and is most recognized for inventing the
first computer chip manufacturing techniques that allowed high volume
production at pennies per chip instead of dollars per chip. His process
innovations revolutionized the industry and are directly responsible for
the modern microprocessor driven world, including the computer you are
reading this on. He is also noted for handcrafting chips that are now
on the Moon (Apollo) and Mars (Viking) and beyond the known Solar System
(Voyager).
After retiring from his engineering position, he began to direct his
efforts not at inventing microchips, but using them to their full
potential by developing technical models for tracking the stock market.
Several highly successful commercial tracking models have been developed
and later, with the advent of the authority of Federal Employees to
trade on a daily basis, he had developed The TSP Trader System.
Why He is Anonymous:
Trader Fred is above all a real person, not a group or syndicate of
stock brokers, and for the most part is very retired and happy to be so.
He is a male in his late 50s living in the Northwest far away from his
Silicon Valley career and where nobody knows his name, not even the
bartender.
Trader Fred wants to be anonymous as he did his time as one of the top
names in the electronics world and now is devoting his to time to
protecting his investments and now creating programs for TSP Talk when
he is not tweaking the Wall Street models he created. As a note he is
just as anonymous to Wall Street as he is to TSP Talk and thinking about
it, can you blame him? With over 4 million Federal employees and
retirees his privacy would be at risk if he gave us his address and
phone number. Many people would love to get inside
the mind of someone who developed some the most successful timing
programs ever written.
However, fear not, as we will have access to Trader Fred when TSP Talk
will pose the best questions you submit about his proprietary timing
model for TSP funds. He will indeed answer them as appropriate, and
anonymously of course.
