Masters in Business: Ralph Acampora

November 6, 2014 11:30am by Barry Ritholtz

In this week’s “Masters in Business” podcast, I talk with Ralph Acampora, founder of the Market Technician’s Association.

Acampora has been closely charting markets for almost a half-century. He tells how he was in the seminary, on the way to becoming a priest, when fate intervened. After a car accident, he went into the field of finance instead (much to his parents’ disappointment). Today, he is high priest of charts, and has been called the “Godfather of Technical Analysis.”

You can stream the podcast at SoundCloud or download it here or on iTunes. All of our prior podcasts are available for free download on iTunes.

Next week, we speak with Mark Cuban, owner of Dallas Mavericks, co-founder of Broadcast.com and a regular on ABC’s Shark Tank.
