Jonathan R. Craven: 2nd Generation Turtle

Jonathan Craven must be glad his former boss views the world as he does in the above quote. Craven, a second generation Turtle, is not of Harvard pedigree, but rather he attended Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. ODU is not what most would consider the fast track to Wall Street success, but it has not stopped Craven from kicking butt. He is another in a long line of trained Trend Followers.

Now in his 30's Craven spent 7 years as an associated person with Chesapeake Capital. After launching his small one-man firm in 1998 and struggling for two years with meager returns, he finally hit his stride with Trend Following.

So what makes Craven special? He essentially started from scratch and works solo. His firm launched with $50,000 out of the gate. Now with $16 million under management he proves hard work and determination are still the keys to Turtle-style success. He proves the one-man only potential of trading like a Turtle on a small budget. If Jonathan Craven can do it, he must be an inspiration to all seeking success as a money manager or just trading their own account from home or work.
