About Tim Ord

Timothy Ord is President, Editor, and Publisher of The Ord Oracle, which is an electronic advisorynewsletter that recommends S&P, NASDAQ, and gold stock trades. He is frequently listed as one of the top-ten market timers in the country. Timer Digest ranked him the number-one gold timer for the one-year period ending January 13, 2006, and the number-two gold timer - and number-five S&P timer - in 2004.

Ord introduced the tick index method in 1991, and the method is now widely used by short-term stock traders. He has also developed a new trading method (packaged in a software program) called Ord Volume, which measures strength in a rally or decline for a stock or index. His Web site is www.ord-oracle.com.
