MurphyMorris, Inc., was acquired by StockCharts.com, Inc., in October 2002. In 1999, Greg and three associates started MurphyMorris Money Management Co. to manage assets for individuals.

From 1994 to 1996, he was president of G. Morris Corporation, a Dallas, Texas headquartered business that provided products and services for investors and traders.

In 1992 he published a book on Japanese candlestick analysis called CandlePower, now available in soft cover as Candlestick Charting Explained (McGraw-Hill). Widely recognized as an expert on candlesticks and the developer of candlestick filtering, he has lectured around the world on the subject. From 1982 until 1993, he worked in association with N-Squared Computing, producing more than 15 technical analysis and charting software titles, many of which are actively used today. In May 1989, he was awarded outstanding alumni for 1989 from Pratt County College.

Greg earned his pilot’s license in 1967 and flew many versions of Cessna (Cessna 150 maximum takeoff weight = 1,500 pounds) and Mooney single-engine aircraft. During his seven years as a Navy pilot he flew the T2-C Buckeye, A-4J Skyhawk, and his favorite military jet, the F-4J Phantom. While in the Navy, he logged more than 240 carrier landings (103 at night) and exceeded twice the speed of sound. From 1978 to his retirement in 2004, Greg was a captain for Delta Air Lines flying the Boeing 727, Lockheed L-1011, McDonald Douglas MD-88, MD-90, Boeing 757, Boeing 767, and his favorite airliner, the McDonald Douglas MD-11 (maximum takeoff weight = 625,000 pounds). With his private pilot time, the Navy fighter pilot career (1971–1978), and airline career he accumulated 21,000 hours of flying time, and as he likes to say, never put a scratch on an airplane.

He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1971, has a BS degree in Aerospace Engineering, has authored numerous investment-related articles, speaks at numerous seminars and investment groups, and has appeared many times on Financial News Network (FNN), Fox Business, CNBC, and Bloomberg TV.
