What People Are Saying About Us*

I have received excellent value from McMillan Analysis. I feel I get a unique perspective from Larry's work. Over the years I have recommended the DVA report to dozens of clients and associates. I know many of them have become subscribers/readers as well. Keep up the great work."

- D. Bennion

Your weekly take on the market is the only tool I trust to trade comfortably in such a perverse game that perpetuates itself by consuming the unaware quite so efficiently. Admittedly lacking in greater mathematical stamina to make ongoing use of seeing into a deeper truth hidden within a market mechanism, I have grown to rely on how your calm, thoughtful interpretation of certain contrary indicators reveal the next meaningful and likely move is occurring just before being made widely known to even the market itself. Quite an impressive defense I might add."

- A. Lee

Larry McMillan takes the student into new worlds of technical analysis. In time, one becomes comfortable with what McMillan calls "the predictive power of options". And you come to understand that the VIX and put call ratios can, under certain circumstances, function as outstanding indicators with respect to stock market index movements. Thus, the McMillan education leads to a knowledge far beyond option strategies. The student comes to see virtually every aspect of the stock market, from its direction to its rate of price movement, through the prism of options. And all the while, at every turn, Mr. McMillan is present as a guide. This man deserves every ounce of his vast professional recognition. The English language has a word that best describes Larry Macmillan......... Teacher."
