Michael Murphy CFA

Michael Murphy, CFA began his career in the technology industry's infancy, as the technology analyst for American Express in 1970. He worked for several years at Capital Research/American Funds, and left institutional money management after the introduction of the IBM PC in 1981 to start the California Technology Stock Letter, which he merged into the newsletter he writes today, New World Investor.

He’s the author of Survive The Great Inflation, an explanation of the real deflationary forces facing our country and an indictment of the Federal Reserve policies attempting to deal with them.

He also wrote the business best-seller Every Investor’s Guide to High-Tech Stocks and Mutual Funds, which revealed his proprietary "Growth Flow" model of tech stock analysis that uses research and development spending, as well as other criteria, to determine a company's future performance.

He’s been a featured investment expert in Worth, is often quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Barron's and Money, and makes frequent appearances on CNBC and CNNfn.

For many years he held the World Land Speed Record for Class I electric cars, set at the Bonneville Salt Flats at 133.353 miles per hour, and narrowly missed setting the world speed record for electric boats before retiring from racing.
