What others in the industry think of CTCR:

(listed alphabetically by commentator)

"CTCR is a fantastic service for the futures consuming public. Even if I have to die by the sword, I think that by participating it imposes a discipline which I think is both necessary and appreciated."

-- Colin Alexander, Five Star Futures Newsletter

"CTCR provides the futures market investor, both professional and novice, with a source of information and source of honest information which is unavailable almost anywhere else. The product reviews and the analysis of market gurus and trading systems is difficult to find in other publications and CTCR does a wonderful job of covering those areas."

-- Bob Hafer, Commodity Research Bureau/Bridge

"You're a fine bunch of people. I think you provide a good service. Your star performer is Norm Winski. I'm a friend of Norm's. He does quite well. In fact, he was the one who encouraged me to let you track me. My fear about being followed was that it was a friend of a friend of a friend hyping things. I have found that your tracking is accurate and you are friendly people and don't seem to have any biases one way or the other. I think it's a good service for people."

-- Hans Hannula, Cash in on Chaos

"You put a lot of time, effort, and energy to make sure you putting quality stuff in front of the people. That's one of the things I like and respect."

-- Jerry Hodges, Security Market Research

"I have subscribed to literally hundreds of financial newsletters over the years. I currently read about fifty different letters each month covering the markets. CTCR is unquestionably the best-written market letter that I receive. I look forward to receiving each issue because of its high quality coverage and professional consistency."

-- Charlie Hooper, Editor and publisher, The Mutual Fund Strategist newsletter, and manager of over $100 million in mutual fund assets.

"First of all, I want to say that your publication is fantastic. I hope that because you are very visible and Bruce Babcock was very low key in terms of his visibility in the industry. I've already seen you on CNBC numerous times and in Futures Magazine and that's an area where Bruce hadn't been in many years. I've be very happy to help you in any way to increase the visibility of CTCR because if we, as an industry, can get a publication which can rival the Hulbert Financial Digest in terms of getting the public to look at one particular area for good analysis in terms of what's available in the industry for advisory services, I can't help but think that the whole industry will be better off by having an independent auditing source like yourself."

-- Dennis Minogue - Minogue Hotline

"Courtney Smith is a good guy.
I think it's a very good magazine. It's very useful for people who want to learn how to trade because it gives informational interviews, it gives honest reviews of products (which is very rare in this industry). You and Bruce also aren't afraid to say something is a piece of shit if something is a piece of shit and not just endorse something to make friends with the guy. The centerfold is very useful for somebody who wants to evaluate following different advisors. You've got unbiased records and somebody can see what everyone is doing relative to each other and the industry. Who's making money consistently and who's not. For the meager amount of money you charge, you get an awful lot of information."

-- Russell Sands, Turtle Talk

"CTCR is one of the very few financial newsletters to which I subscribe. I find it both enjoyable and informative."

-- Jack Schwager, Director of Futures Research at Prudential Securities, best-selling author of Market Wizards, and futures money manager.

"There's no better way to keep in touch on what's going on in terms of performance, ideas, and new methodology than Commodity Traders Consumer Reports. But to keep abreast of things like that and who's up and who's down and what's happening. Not quite like Club 3000, where people just bitch and moan, you really try to keep people abreast of what's happening. If you want to keep you finger on the heartbeat of what's happening in the futures industry in terms of performance, new methodologies, new systems, and ideas, you should be a subscriber."

-- Larry Williams, Commodity Timing

"CTCR provides an invaluable service in that it documents and monitors the performance of well known trading advisors."

-- Norm Winski, Astro Trend
