Mike Burk
Mike Burk began developing equity trading systems in the early 1980's. Through the 1990's he marketed an equity trading system called MIRAT based on breadth indicators, but, primarily new lows. In the early days of this century he developed the seasonal trading strategies currently used by Alpha Investment Management of Cincinnati. Mr. Burk has been writing equity market newsletters since the early 1990's. During the past 10 years the letter observes both breadth and seasonal strategies.
