Richard Schulz is the author of the TAO DJIA Forecast.

Richard graduated from Libertyville, IL, High School in 1968, salutatorian, majoring in mathematics and science; from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, IL in 1978, with honors, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing, with minors in mathematics and psychology; and from California State University, Los Angeles, CA in 1987, with a Master of Science degree in Psychiatric Nursing, and high honors. Richard's Masters thesis demonstrated positive significant correlations between two lunar cycles (both phase and speed) and the rise and fall of medication administration on a VA psychiatric ward. Subsequent education and investigation has emphasized business and statistics.

Richard always liked mathematics and science and was an amateur astronomer and meteorologist. He has been studying astrology since 1973, when it became a passion at first encounter. Richard studied personally with Doris Hebel, Irene Diamond, and Christine Rechter (and others) in the Chicago area, and with the Ebertin Cosmobiology school, Manik Chand Jain of the Indian/Vedic tradition, Kevin Quinn Avery of numerology, and Charles Jayne of both traditional and eclectic methodologies. In the 1970's and 1980's, Richard included both consultations and teaching in his astrological practice.

Richard has been a member of ISAR, NCGR, and others, off and on, since the 1970's, and values the importance of research and the publication of that research for scientific and peer review. He spoke at the 2009 ISAR Conference in Oak Brook, IL, Aug 20-23, 2009, on Sunday, 8/23, at 1130am, CDT. The topic was the TAO DJIA Forecast, its origin, methodology, correlations with the stock market and future research potentials.
