I am not familiar with the term SMT... but, i forget words, especially names.

My studies of the markets started with Robert Kiyosaki, and then basically went through all the non-mainstream people. People like Mike Maloney led me to analyzing markets from different viewpoints, not in dollars, but in other goods.

So, what i have is a hodgepodge of stuffs. (off the beaten path, stuffs)
And probably not the mentor you are thinking of.
