"History is the witness of time, the lamp of truth, the embodied soul of memory,
                    the instructress of life, and the messenger of antiquity." (Cicero)  It is not "bunk"
                    as Henry Ford said. 

                    "We study the market's history so closely, precisely because the cycles of greed
                    and fear, complacency and high anxiety, hope and despair alternate over and over
                    again in the mass psychology of the stock market.  It is these highly predictable
                    emotions which we measure and insiders trade upon."  (William Schmidt).

         Tiger Software was created in 1981 by William Schmidt. 

          It started on an Apple II+ with the writing of Peerless Stock Market Timing. 

          Price bands and Oscillator Non-Confirmations were his invention.  In 1982,
          he invented a way to compare each stocks' level  of relative Accumulation
          and Distribution.  His Accumulation Index has been purloined, crudely
          copied and misunderstood by quite a coterie of well-known intellectual
          thieves.  His software and books make heavy use of this original indicator. 


          The power of Peerless was never more evident than in 1987 when it called
          the top in early October, just before the severe Crash that followed.  The
          power of Tiger's Accumulation Index has won loyal converts.  As the years
          went by, Tiger has developed many other highly original concepts and tools.  
          One of which is the "Tiger Day Traders' Tool" and its off-shoot, Tiger's
          "Closing Power".  


          Thousands of traders and investors have used Tiger since 1981.  Some
          brought a lot of trading experience to bear on Tiger and others wanted
          to learn how to make more money and how best to safeguard what they
          already had.


           It is a tribute to Tiger Software that many of our customers today have

           used the software for more than 25 years!

Education
BA - Yale University
Ph.D. in Public Law and Government - Columbia University
Dissertation: "Role of Chancellor of Exchequer in British
Cabinet Politics: Case Studies of Political Power,: 1919-1937

Dissertation Summary:

The number two man in the British Cabinet did not want to let spending
ministers get a positive public reputation and become his rivals to become
Prime Minister.  In this way, the financial orthodoxy of the "City"
(Keep the Pound strong and balance the budget, whatever the cost.) had a
very willing ally as Chancellor of the Exchequer. And this is still true.

As a result, England stagnated economically,  did not create public works jobs
in the Depression, despite Keynes being a well-known figure in London, and
did not build up its Air Force in a timely way, when the Nazis threatened war. 

Conclusion: It was the dynamics of Britain's Cabinet Political System, not
the sinister and selfish financial influence directly that prevented England from
escaping its decline in the inter-war years.

My Career

While in graduate school, I was a Stock Broker - Harris Upham, NYC
on Wall Street.  I learned technical analysis, saw how rampant
insider trading was and learned how institutions "accumulate"
and "distribute" stock.

College Teacher of Economics and Political Science:

Editor for Santa Fe Seers:  I wrote more than 50 feature length articles
on political, social and economic Issues in New Mexico.  They had
considerable impact on
   (1) raising state oil and gas severance taxation from state lands,
   (2) the launching of the state's biggest law suit involving New Mexico
consumers and a utility company that had a vested interest in buying
high prices natural gas and over-charging consumers and New Mexico,
  (3) causing the State Treasury to change its investment practices
to favor state businesses and banks.
  (4) elevating state environmental standards for protecting uranium
miners.

History is the only laboratory we have in which to test the consequences of thought. (Etienne Gilson)

The 1987 Crash Was Called Real-Time using the tools developed in William Schmidt's
Peerless Stock Market Timing.
  "Those who say the market cannot be timed, are the
very people who need to start using Peerless Stock Market Timing the most.  History
is not "more or less, bunk" as Henry Ford said.  (Ford also said: "Exercise is bunk.)

Rather, as Cervantes said, "History is in a measure a sacred thing, for it should be true,
and where the truth is, there God is".

"History" is a Greek word which means, literally, just "investigation." (Arnold Toynbee)

History is organized memory, and the organization is all-important. (Henry Steele Commager)

History is the intellectual form in which a civilization renders account to itself of its past. (Johann Huizinga)

                                   History Let Us Predict The 1987 Crash
                                   and many other major tops and bottoms!

         Peerless Stock Market Timing's Buy and Sell Signals were created in 1981.
