Francis Hunt |
|
 |
The Market Sniper (Originator of Hunt Volatility Theory),Trader, Teacher & Technical AnalystFrancis Hunt is known for certain market predictions calling for:1. A collapse of the Euro to the CHF (EURCHF Short Trade) in November 2009, inadvertently pre-empting the Greek Crisis trade of 2010 that saw a substantial move.2. This was repeated when in October & December 2014 he suggested that early in Q1 2015 the EURCHF would experience a 30% fall again and the floor would fail, he did this using his bespoke Hunt Volatility Funnel Principles3. In discussion with Zak Mir he intimated that GulfSands Petroleum would lose 75% of its market Capitalisation within a year. Lonmin would lose 55% of its Market Capitalisation4. He appeared to be the only one who suggested a huge loss in the Oil price, when Brent was $104, he suggested a break down was due, which would run $78 and which could over perform this mark substantially to the downside |
