Dear Mr. Ford:
I am a new subscriber to The Pit Bull Investor, but I am really impressed with your "nightly commentary". Reading your incitefull and very educated ( and most of all - accurate!!) evaluation of the market conditions is really a breath of fresh air. You say so much that is really useful. I wish I had known about your nightly commentary 4 years ago - I'd have a lot more money now.
Anyway, don't change a thing - - it's great, and most of the time
it's the last really enjoyable thing I do before I go to bed.
Thanks

After the Nasdaq Crash/Correction that took place in early March of this year my portfolio was valued at just a little above 50% its original base. I didn't know where to turn. Seemed like everything I tried just dug my hole a little deeper.
I found your website and I saw that you offered a 6 month money back guarantee and thought to myself, heck can't to do any worse
than I am now. So I started using your system. I have gained back about 20% in the last month or so since the crash. Thank you very much for providing me with that ladder to get out of my pit.

Hi Henry,
I'm a new subscriber to your services. But I'm not new to the
financial world. I'm a 25 year veteran of Wall Street. I spent about
20 years with Merrill Lynch and a couple of other firms.
My point in telling you all this is that I am VERY impressed with
your systems. You've taken the stock philosophy and have refined it
to a very usable and obviously profitable process. Very exciting!
If there is any way at all I could work with you to market your

Dear Mr. Ford;
When I first got your literature in the mail, I laughed, but instead of tossing it with junk mail, I decided to read it. I have been investing for over 20 years and have always worked hard on my system. Now with PC's and data, it has changed the amount of conditions I can test effectively. Now I see your database and screens.
I have ordered your materials and am looking forward to determining whether or not you really have simplified the approach to growth stocks, while not giving up all the safety.

Greetings,
I have been using the EAGLE-I option selection techniques since April 14, 1997 and am very pleased. In 7 Weeks I have doubled my cash value. Even though that seems fast I am still having trouble being patient. I DayTraded OEX options during 1996 and had some success but nothing like this. Whats more amazing is that the success was not in just 1 option infact I have purchased more than 9 different issues and not one of them lost money. I highly recommend this trading system to everyone I know that trades.
I have only one suggestion... PLEASE develop some method for pitbull Traders to communicate with each other. Even if it is just a list of E-mail addresses. This could provide an team atmosphere and give us another reason to convince our friends to join the team.
Well thanks again for such a simple and financially rewarding system. I eagerly await your reply.

Dear Mr. Ford,Last Friday, 5-9-97, I became one of your newest PITBULLERS. All the manuals arrived that morning, long short and options. What a weekend I had. I have been a subscriber to Investor's for years but I had never torn into one so deeply as I did on Saturday.
I have been trading commodity options for approximately four years, mostly from the short side, but some long straddles also. I jumped all over the fax on demand early monday morning. I picked up 10 calls on Deere & Co. at $5.50 and sold them Tuesday at $7.50 for a quick profit. The entire manual was so well presented and easy to follow. You have one more convert on your team. I am fully aware that all my trades will not work this well or this quick but I just had to share my experience with you.
I am president of my own company, with branches in Atlanta, Houston, New Jersey, and L.A. I have been looking for a mechanical system that made trading fun. Thank you for making it happen. I Love PITBULL!!!!!!!!

Many, many thanks. I looked at the list and decided that I liked Morton (MII) the best. So I put in a limit order with Fidelity Brokerage on the 8th. I got 10 contracts of the Nov 40 at 1 1/8. In fact, I think I was the only one buying. I sold them all today for 2 1/4. I made 100% in two days. You can do the math to annualize it.

Dear Mr. Ford,
I have only been a "pitbull" for a mere three weeks or so, but I can already
tell that I am in possession of something that has great potential. As an Investors
Daily subscriber for five years, your method fits beautifully with my thought process. As much as I love the paper (and I look forward to receiving it every day), there was something missing from my selection process, and it showed in my performance. Sure I had many winners (and some devastating losers), but I knew I could do better. The problem was,as I now see it, I wasn't disciplined enough. I didn't know when to take profits or take losses. I now believe this will not be a problem. I truly needed something mechanical and I believe your system can provide this "missing link".
Although I am mainly paper trading, of the four stocks I purchased (NR, LIFB, MARC, and QHGI), three of them are up, and one is at break-even. NR and LIFB are up almost 10% in just 2 plus weeks. As far as paper trading goes, 6 of the roughly 20 stocks I am tracking were closed out at a 1.7% average
loss, and believe it or not, it doesn't really matter. I am almost happy to close out a loser with a small loss knowing that my capital is available for the next opportunity. The winners in my paper trading portfolio are up approximately 3% overall, some more and some less. I realize that the bull market has definitely helped. The point is I really believe this is going to help me.
At some point I would like to take advantage of your option and shorting systems. I figured it might be a good idea to get a handle on the long side system first. I was also expecting an explanation on how to calculate the crash index as shown on the bottom of the service selections from the internet. Is there a way you could clue me in on this?
Finally, I look forward to receiving your pitbull update. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Yours sincerely,
Matt Pellenberg

As a purchaser of Pitbull investor I must start out by saying I am very happy. As a matter of fact I have even dumped my data provider for a big savings. I have found I do not need them. I have been onboard for some nice stocks that I never would have considered. Some of them are safeway in at 22, btv in at 25, delabs in at 26, tck in at 17.5, I have more winners but I'll limit the thread. Only 10 % of the stocks I've picked have been losers so far.

Hello. I purchased the PitBull Investor last year and I am quite

He questions whether my picks will match yours and everyone elses or not. Would it be possible to obtain a temporary password (2 weeks or 1 month) to your Fax On Demand or On-Line Picks Service to show him that the results are the same?
I just saw on your site that you are working on a system for Mutual

> ANSOLUTELYÀi+Vrou BRILLIANT! Henry, what you've done is to distill the essence of WJ O'Darvas's stock method of picking stocks, while elininating 90% of the work! WOW! What I particularly like is the way we put all of the resources, expertise and knowledge of all the people at Newspaper on our payroll for $.75 a week. In essence, they do all the grunt work for us while we're out on the golf course and, then, at the end of the week, we sift through the results of all their labors, quickly picking out the best of the best investment alternatives available. What a great system!
While I'm really impressed with the Pitbull Investor, I'm even more
impressed with the man who put it together. I've been an investor
for many years and have always found that making money in the market was hard work. All the books I've read, from Louis Engle to WJ O'Darvas, have always presented the market as extremely difficult to understand and advocated an ethic that said the harder you work at it, the more successful you'll be. And, now, after all these years, someone with a flash of genius says that it's not a matter of working harder, it's a matter of working smarter and then SHOWS YOU HOW TO DO IT!
The world and the net are filled with get-rich-quick schemes. How
rare it is to find someone who is actually able to deliver and make
good his promises. Irregardless of how much money I make with Pitbull Investor, I will remember the name WH Ford. It was people like you, who, through brains, ingenuity and perseverence, made this country what it once was. In the wasteland it has become, you offer hope that perhaps all is not lost. I am already enriched by meeting you through your trading system. For that, I sincerely thank you.
All the best to you and yours,

Dear Mr. Ford,
I have been playing this stock game for about an year, some stocks made marginal profit and some lost upto 30% of the principle investment before i pulled myself out. I would look at people with dismay who used to boast at parties as perpetual winners. How can people win all the time and make money? Are they exaggerating the facts? Are they trying to glorify themselves? Is this stock just a guessing game? I wonder all the time. If Warren Buffet can make 12 Billion dollors by just trading stocks, then there must be a system which works.Then I came across your Pitbull stock picking and trading system which really impressed. At first I thought this is one of those "get rich quick" scams. I studied the system and underlying principles carefully which made lot of sense to me. I went to public library and probed the sanity of the system which never failed. I am so much delighted to tell you that you really gave me a check for "multi million dollors". My modesty forced me to
use "M" in place of "B". I am basically a risk taking person, but this system forces me to put aggressive risks into disciplined tactical trading. This is the greatest wealth I have ever acquired in my life.This is something we can pass on to our descendents.
Thanks a lot for answering all my questions with patience.
Regards and Reverence
