Chris Johnson

Chris Johnson (“CJ”), a seasoned equity and options analyst with nearly 30 years of experience, is celebrated for his quantitative expertise in quantifying investors’ sentiment to navigate Wall Street with a deeply rooted technical and contrarian trading style.

CJ was an early adopter of analyzing “big data” to form algorithms. Since 1998, he has crafted proprietary forecasting models that now use millions of records a day to provide both a short- and long-term trading edge. This work forms the foundation of his stellar track record.

Over the last 30 years, Wall Street has become a “noisy” environment for investors. CJ’s unique approach finds the “trend in the noise,” helping investors of all levels become more successful.

With degrees in finance, statistics, and accounting, CJ has held key roles in the industry, including Director of Quantitative Analysis and Director of Research at a major investment firm. Since 2006, he founded Johnson Research Group and ETF Advisory Research Partners. Both companies became well known for their work in Behavioral Valuation.

TipRanks recognizes him as part of the elite group of top 99.3% of financial bloggers and the top 98.6% of overall experts. A sought-after commentator on major financial media, his insights have graced Barron's, USA Today, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, and more, solidifying his standing as a luminary in finance.
