Wyckoff Stock Market Institute Alumni Testimonials
In 1956 I became a Wyckoff Student at SMI under Bob Evans.
I continued thru the years as other endeavors permitted. Now, at age 87, and in retirement I continue to study and learn. By learning the Wyckoff Method of Trading, many have learned to trade intelligently and successfully. Keep Up The Good Work!N. Biebel (December 2016)
I took the course in 1987. Craig Schroeder was my instructor. Although a new student at the time, I’m pleased to say I was out of the market two weeks before the crash of 1987. It never would’ve happened without the course.
T. Metzler (January 2017)
Original course in 1963. Second course finished in 1972 with David Mathys as my instructor. Finished the tape reading course and participated in the Practice Trading Exercises. I am proud to have personally known Bob Evans, Bud Andrews, David Mathys and Craig Schroeder.R. Tardiff (December 2017)

I’m glad to be a Wyckoff student.
By using the methods Bob Evans taught me with all his tapes and then incorporating a few of my own, I’ve been able to avoid all major downdrafts and have been long the market at the very bottom in March of ’09. I took the original Wyckoff SMI Course way back in the mid-1960’s.S. Corso (September 2017)
My several decades-long ‘trip’ with Richard D. Wykoff’s Course of Instruction in Stock Market Science began with an ad in the Wall Street Journal in mid-1962 when I was serving as a Navy JAG officer at Naval Air Station Memphis. After a phone call with Bob Evans I boarded the train to Chicago. My visit to Parkridge to meet Robert Evans was memorable and my lasting ‘adventure’ with Wyckoff SMI began. It is rewarding to see the continuing strong support for Mr. Wyckoff’s trading techniques, particularly as electronic capabilities have expanded the SMI teaching methods. The Wyckoff SMI future looks bright! R. Earl Warren (January 2017)
