W.D. Gann and the mathematician Fibonacci were born in the wrong century. They laid the groundwork for what was to become the ability to predict the financial markets through Time and through Price, which is now coined as "The Marketome," by the author. However, it took a mind at rest - a mind left to merge their theories - in order to finish the work they both started hundreds of years ago. As the author can validate, he has amassed over 30,000 hours of market experience before his thirtieth birthday, which speaks of his obsession with numbers. That obsession has yielded conclusive determinism about the market movements. Therefore, through Klatch's Price Theory and the included disproof of the Efficient Market Hypothesis, which properly rebuts the all-time bestseller of Malkiel's, "A Random Walk Down Wall Street," your author proves that the market is not random; a piece of information that once accepted and digested by the masses may lead to Nobel edification. The Market is Not Random is as academic as it is enlightening. It is written from a non-fiction perspective, with the emotions of the author's life struggle in quantifying the irrational that led to madness. However, that madness was born from an obsession with the markets, and ultimately, the pursuit of knowledge became so reckless that it led to the author's federal conviction and permanent ban from the securities industry. TMINR is the crowning achievement of a lifetime of work, and it will withstand the test of time because it proves that every market and every time frame are not random.

He has been recognized as a talented manager with an exceptional track record for increasing the performance of funds through the use of a wide range of sophisticated quantitative analysis techniques that Mr. Klatch refined after mentoring with a hedge fund billionaire for several years. In 2006, he received honors in Trader Monthly Magazine for his stellar performance as both a fund manager and corporate risk management professional as one of the top 30 traders in the country.

Mr. Klatch was indicted in 2011 by the federal government, and he subsequently accepted a guilty plea to four felony counts: Conspiracy to Defraud the United States, Securities Fraud, Wire Fraud, and Money Laundering. Mr. Klatch acknowledges that he engaged in deceptive marketing tactics, which led to some investor losses during the 2008-2010 financial crisis.
