Juan Sarmiento began his trading career, like most people, as an avid long-term investor in the markets at the time with Peter Lynch's books were at the top of all the bestseller lists. He later read books about Elliot Wave and decided to apply those theories to various markets. He felt most comfortable with options and now it is his primary trading vehicle. Specifically he uses a strategy he posted on the TraderInterviews.com Idea Lab - called PCCRC. He also blogs his thoughts on the markets at: http://stockoftheday.blogspot.com/.
