You may have recognized Mark Leibovit as one of the ten "Elves"
on Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street Week television program where he served
as a weekly consultant for 7 years through 1996. Mark Leibovit also appears
as a regular Market Monitor guest with Paul Kangas on PBS' The Nightly Business

His Annual Forecast Model (available at VRtrader.com) has established increasing
notoriety on Wall Street as a predictor of future market movement. Released
each year in early February, it has accurately pinpointed market highs and
lows. It's claim to fame began back in 1987 when it predicted the ominous
stock market crash nine months in advance. It also forecasted the 2000 bear
market - the report released February 1, 2000 entitled: 'It Looks Like An
Honest to Goodness Bear Market'. Mr. Leibovit has just been named the #1
U.S. Market Timer for 2006, the #1 Intermediate Market Timer in the U.S.

for the one-year period ending March 28, 2008 - all by TIMER DIGEST magazine.
Mr. Leibovit was a member of Midwest Options Exchange and the Chicago Board
Options Exchange where he became a market maker in 1976. In 1979, after
consulting with several regional brokerage firms, he left the floor and
began publishing his newsletter The Volume Reversal Survey, now VRtrader.com.
He holds CIMA (Certified Investment Management Analyst) and AIF (Accredited
Investment Fiduciary) designations and is a member of the Market Technicians
Association (MTA), the National Association of Active Investment Managers
