1. Why isn't this information available anywhere else?
Other individuals and institutions offer instruction but nothing that comes close to the common sense and risk management that this course offers. It has taken 12 years to do the research that this course is based. It's considered "groundbreaking" by academics' and investors throughout the world. This information will be found no where but in the PRICEphysics class.

2. Why would this class be so beneficial to me?
It makes no difference whether one is an individual value investor, they require hedging in their agriculture or other business for asset protection, they utilize the markets as their financial career path or they make a living trading, having the ability to "READ PRICE" direction WITH CONFIDENCE is a priceless commodity. You must ask yourself whether your broker or financial advisor is doing EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER to look out for your profitability. If not and you feel you deserve a value on your return that is consistent then you owe it to yourself to learn how!

3. Who is the person teaching this class and what is his background?
The instructor is William Schamp. He was born and raised in West Central Ohio and currently lives in one of the riches farm communities in Ohio. Some call it the best and most stable soil to grow crops in the United States. He was born in farm country and raised working on a variety of family and friend's farms. He plowed fields, baled hay, orphaned corn, slopped pigs, cleaned stalls, ran a grinder, handled equipment and even cooked on a chuck wagon in Texas. He is intimately aware of the back breaking work involved with making a farm or ranch operation succeed. His father sold feed for Moorman's so not only did he grow up working in the farm environment but his home was built on it. After college he went to work for IBM, Skills Training division, as an instructor. He taught Logic, Problem Solving and Computer Technical integration. This gave him further appreciation to the need for corporate, business and personal profits. All this was his preparation for the next 12 years of research into price and watching price move and learn it moves directionally. His passion is helping people learn to read price to better protect create and protect their profits especially the agriculture community. What Bill teaches is applicable to every single stock, commodity, futures or currency on the face of the each. His philosophy is, "If it is tradable and chartable then its direction it can be read".

4. What makes the information contained in this class unique?
In those 12 years of research what was discovered was that all of the markets; stocks, commodities currencies, options and futures were hard to read because they were "Noisy", for lack of a better word. The markets in general are chaotic and confusing to even the most seasoned investor not just the average Joe sitting in their home looking at the closing prices at the end of the day. Mr. Schamp discovered a consistent way of quieting the "Noise" the markets create on the charts to give individuals an simple and personally verifiable way to read the price direction of their charts. This is something that YOU verify for yourself each day the markets are open.

5. What basic information is required to get the most out of this class and its information?
I try to teach this to the "least common denominator" but a couple books that are good are; Futures and Options for Dummies or Investing for Dummies. These books can be picked up, used, online for about $10 to $14. It is better to come to this class knowing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the markets. No bad habits to fight with. You are going to learn to "TRUST WHAT YOU SEE" through sheer consistent repetition.
6. Where and when are these hedging, investing and trading classes held?
Please check the Class Schedule page for all information regarding future classes. Classes start at various times, depending on time zone. There will be an hour break for lunch/dinner and 2 - 20 minute breaks each class..

7. What computer skills are necessary to excel or even survive at self investing?
Basic computer skills are required. A knowledge of loading, installing, uninstalling software as well as moving files and folders. You don't have to be a technician but you do need some comfort around a computer.
8. What type of computer should I have to do this from my home or office?
I would recommend a system that is no more than a couple years old. Whether you are an individual investor or are learning this for your farm, this is an educational expense. You want a system that is not going to be obsolete next month.

9. What support or assistance is offered and given after the class is completed?
You will have complete access to Mr. Schamp for questions and answers both on the phone and through email for two years after your last class. There will be classes held at Ohio State, Lima Branch at least twice yearly. There will be a video made of the class and this video will be made available to individuals for continuing study. Once you have taken the first class, you may re-take the class as often as you wish.

11. Are there any other costs associated with this class other than the course and materials itself?
It will depend on what level of trading, hedging or investing you are interested in pursuing. In all cases you will need charting software and I strictly use MultiCharts. You can follow the link Pricephysics home page for pricing and package information.
For data to feed the charting software with quotes I strictly use eSignal. It is currently the most cost effective Data Provider in the industry. eSignal offers a variety of packages as well. those packages go from getting delayed data to real-time. For almost all hedgers or investors getting the delayed data is more than sufficient. For the hardened trader, nothing will do except real-time data.

12. Is it true that the Futures and Commodities Markets are the riskiest of all investment vehicles?
The Futures and Commodities Markets are no more risky than any other investment you make where you are clueless as to the outcome of your choice. I teach you to ALWAYS LIMIT your RISK to the LEAST amount possible. Besides once you learn to read price you can apply it to any stock or market of your choice. Remember YOUR confidence, created from YOUR experience is the BEST and SAFEST risk management tool you could every want.
