(cont. from Home Page)...He is driven like Ted Turner, with Alan Greenspan values. Family, fiscal modesty, and a fervent feel for the shifts of stocks that he developed from his keen attention to Nature's wind shift patterns. "That's how sailboat racers win. It's about letting the elements teach you how to read them. It's a mix of science and art that gets the Loving Cup."
"I keep a picture of a boat under the wind next to my stock charts because I like to remind myself that picking stocks is like navigating a racing sailboat through the naval of Mother Nature", Shapray says.
Trained as an industrial psychologist and accountant, and having spent years pursuing the correlation between public company performance and the subtleties of winning boat races, Shapray has built a talent for stock picking that is yielding heroic results for his subscribers who have placed him in a cult-like admiration. Part of his secret is relating the over one hundred elements he's defined in winning sailing races in achieving performance and speed with tactics, with that giving him the framework to then apply his talent for reading and predicting the moves in a public company's stock. He then utilizes this talent with his analysis of over 100 corresponding business elements in picking stocks.
"He makes it look easy, but there is a lot of experience and innovative thought behind Shapray's methods." His clients are close listeners. His books "Ride The Next Stock Market Wave Safely" and "Anxiety-Free Option Investing" are about Shapray's experience on the ocean waves applied to stock analysis and Options strategy. His website www.ShaprayOptionTrading.com is a hot secret among his followers. Shapray has a following among the new wave of savvy women investors who share their love of his stock picks. | A full-time woman investor client disclosed "I was told from a friend of mine that when all of their other investments were going down that their investments with Don were up over 400%. I knew that I needed to get a hold of this person."
Another of his clients is candid about Shapray's captaining of the stock charts, "I want to congratulate and thank Don for being able to so successfully navigate this strange market". His unique strategy is related to his mettle as a real salt with a fiercely competitive edge. When you see the grace of Shapray's stock picking action in the market, you know how rare this approach is in traditional financial schools.
Wall Street doesn't stand a chance against such methods. And Shapray is out to prove that his techniques are boat lengths ahead of the big investment houses. "I'm driven to harness what's possible in terms of investment returns applying my methods of stock analysis. The Wall Street boys spend too much time away from the challenging and shifting dynamic forces of Nature (applied to the lessons of the market)."

In his recent interview with a
financial
journalist (cont.)
Shapray's insight, analysis and success on
the race course is made more valuable with
the integration of his analogies between the intricacies of sailboat racing and his analysis of public company stock performance.

Both require tremendous attention to detail and interpolation of external signals and variables, relating those variables to the desired goal.
Ted Turner's crossover success on the yacht race course and in his CNN and Turner Media corporate business strategies are indicative of a very sure touch in harnessing the changing elements in the corporate arena and the yacht racing course. Turner, who was honored three times as "yachtsman of the year" as well as a champion America's cup skipper, has the skipper's sensibility combined with intuition and astute racing tactics.
Shapray took first overall in The Sperry Topsider Regatta, a 200 boat 2 day race that had him figuring course chart geometry that continually changes under different weather and yacht equipment variables. The translation to the Stock Market with the shifts, currents, technical elements and crew personalities in the ocean of the business economy is where his talent shines.
"Public companies are like yachts under wind and water on the racing course, driven by both the natural elements of the environment and the tactics and pressures of their skippers and crews. A truly seasoned skipper with a vast technical knowledge is called upon to win against the other yachts and the unpredictability of wind shifts, performance of different sail designs at varying angles to the wind, and crew as well as race committee psychology."
Shapray is defending champion and perpetual trophy holder of winning the most races of anyone in the St. Augustine Yacht Club. His clients mostly know nothing about sailing or racing, yet they know that the performance in stock picks is vastly superior to what they were used to before they discovered Shapray's winnings.
