Jeffrey Spotts is a General Partner and Portfolio Manager at Prophecy Asset Management LP, which he founded in 2001 after departing his 12-year tenure at Merrill Lynch Investment Managers. A prolific technical analyst, trader, and entrepreneur, his goal is to generate significant absolute returns in any market. His method includes a combination of analyzing the “sponsorship trend,” relative strength position, and fundamental qualities of each company. Influenced by William O’Neil and Tom Demark, Mr. Spotts understands that price action is the most telling factor in the market, and that good timing can be achieved through a confluence of indications. His audited track record since 1998 has produced a gross return of 1,980%, with no down calendar years, or monthly drawdowns greater than 11%. Mr Spotts has worked with some of the best Portfolio Managers in the business. His expertise in stock selection led to him being hand-picked by Fari Hamzei to co-author Master Traders: Strategies for Superior Returns from Today’s Top Traders (Wiley 2006). Mr. Spotts regularly appears on FoxBusiness, Bloomberg TV and CNBC, with commentary on stock ideas and commodity trends.
