After 40 years on Wall Street as a trader, stockbroker, analyst, and head of the options department for a major brokerage firm, Marc founded Chaikin Analytics to deliver proven stock analytics to investors and traders, based on the Chaikin Power Gauge, a 20-factor alpha model proven effective at identifying a stock’s potential. Chaikin developed computerized stock selection models and technical indicators that have become industry standards (including Chaikin Money Flow) and pioneered the first real-time analytics workstation for portfolio managers and stock traders.
Chaikin has collaborated with Nasdaq and IndexIQ to bring the Chaikin Power Gauge stock-rating approach to the ETF marketplace for the first time. Marc and the Chaikin Analytics team rang the Nasdaq Opening Bell on April 30, 2018 to celebrate the one-year anniversary of this very successful launch. The Nasdaq Chaikin Indexes, powered by the Power Gauge Rating, have outperformed their benchmarks since their inception in April 2014.
