J. Daryl Thompson is President and CEO of Trade Your Way To Wealth LLC.
Daryl became smitten with the stock market in 1988, when he began working for a reclusive billionaire investment counselor. When Daryl discovered the billionaire made his billions simply by creating a consistent annual return of 14 – 16% for his investors, Daryl’s “I can do that too!” attitude turned him on to the stock market.
Through intense self-study (poring through mountains of investing and trading books!), Daryl stumbled on a system using a formula that finally “made sense” to him. Using the system, Daryl immediately created an average 80% annual return during most of the 1990’s. He found Cisco Systems at the “pivot point of the decade” – October of 1990. Although he didn’t ride CSCO all the way to its eventual 75,000% 10-year run, he was quite happy with his returns. He was also extremely fond of two 10-baggers (over 1,000% return in one year) he found via his analysis – NBTY – Nature’s Bounty and TASR – Taser. The one TASR trade paid for Daryl’s villa on the beautiful island of Contadora in Panama.
After almost 15 years with the billionaire, Daryl decided it was time to strike out on his own. His first venture was a partnership with one of the world’s leading experts in the art of reading, interpreting and trading with Japanese Candlesticks. Using the knowledge obtained through an intense mentorship with that expert, combined with his previous system for extracting unusually large profits from the market, Daryl created and refined a hybrid system that uses the “best of the best” features of each individual system. The results have been truly astounding. Now 350 – 400% annual returns are not unusual, and Daryl recently discovered a 5-bagger in just five days. Daryl’s forte is finding DDPGs – Double Digit Percentage Gainers in one day. In 2006, he found over 221 of them – about one a day on average.
Daryl then started his present company – Trade Your Way To Wealth LLC. The grand purpose of TYWTW is to create an international Mastermind Group of traders and investors, all helping each other to trading success, and giving some of the results of that success back to local communities, favorite charities, etc. At TYWTW, he teaches unique trading systems to create wealth in the markets, not just an investment return.
Daryl is now proudly associated with Paul Lemal and the World Class Big Kahuna Trading Club. Working together as the “The Momentum Trading Tag Team”, these traders extraordinaire pack a powerful 1-2 punch. Paul and Daryl are combining their unique trading talents to create a forum to breed the most talented, profit-producing traders and investors in the world.
Daryl and his wife Barbara reside in Houston, Texas. They have one daughter, Stacy, who is married to a wonderful guy – Adam Walton.
