KEITH RICHARDS, CMT, CIM



Keith has been in the securities industry since 1990 . He is President and Chief Portfolio Manager ValueTrend Wealth Management. The company manages assets through a discretionary investment service for high-net-worth clients. Mr. Richards' articles and interviews appear regularly in the MoneySaver, along with Investors Digest, The Moneyletter,  the Globe and Mail and other newspapers. His appearances on BNN Television have inspired producers to acknowledge him as "one of [our] most accurate technical analysts." Mr. Richards' books, SmartBounce: 3 Action Steps to Portfolio Recovery,  Sideways: Using the Power of Technical Analysis to Profit in Uncertain Times, and his newest book Smart Money, Dumb Money: Beating the Crowd through Contrarian Investing are available in bookstores.

 

In his spare time, Keith enjoys his family life including a passion for their bullmastiff dogs. He has also been riding and racing bicycles for about 40 years, first on a mountain bike, then moving over to road bike racing and “Time Trialing”. Bike racing suits Keith’s personality, given the scientifically structured approach to training that any serious athlete needs to follow. Keith often compares an athlete's structured training to a structured investing strategy in his writings, including his popular Technical Analysis blog at www.valuetrend.ca.
