Tommy has been in the investment industry since 1994 — 32 years, one career, never left. He started by selling mutual funds on commission, and over three decades systematically moved away from the industry’s broken incentive structure until he landed exactly where he wanted to be: running a fee-only, fiduciary practice where every dollar of effort goes into managing client portfolios.

He holds the Chartered Market Technician (CMT) designation — the technical analysis credential that says “I actually study markets.” Most financial planners don’t have it or anything close. He earned it alongside the CFP® (Certified Financial Planner) because the two sides of the practice demand fundamentally different skills: the CMT for investment management, the CFP® for life planning. Tommy also holds the CFS (Certified Fund Specialist) and previously earned the CLU and ChFC designations.

His daily work is what most advisors do once a quarter — or never: dedicated market research, analyzing sector breadth and relative strength rankings across 450+ ETFs, and making active rotation decisions inside client portfolios. He developed the Power Investing methodology over two decades, including a proprietary 3-month relative strength model and the Triple Play Chart (a custom RSI combination of QQQ, SPY, and IWM). He trained directly under Andrew Cardwell, one of the world’s foremost RSI experts.

Tommy has published sector breadth research since 2009 at gtlackey.com and on X (@gtlackey), and appears regularly on Stock Market TV discussing market analysis and sector positioning.

He still has clients from the very beginning. Some of them have been with him since 1994.

What to expect from Tommy: He’ll talk to you about markets the way he’d talk to a smart friend over coffee — direct, data-backed, no jargon designed to impress. He doesn’t pitch. He shares what he knows, and lets the expertise do the work. If you ask him a question, he’ll give you an honest answer. And he’ll return your call within 24 hours.
