BrockWaterman.com - Futures and Options - Market Specialist
Welcome! This web site is dedicated to my endeavors in the following areas: 1)
Day job: Futures and Options Market Specialist (Market
Specialist & About Me) 1) Day job: Futures and Options Market Specialist (Market Specialist and About Me) I am a futures and options on futures market specialist working with the major commodity groups (Bonds, Stock Indexes, Currency, Grains, Livestock, Softs, Metals, Energies). Futures and options on futures entail substantial risk, which requires me to possess many important traits to help my customers in the best way possible. My mission is to help my customers reach their financial goals in an ethical and transparent way. I learn which markets and types of trades my customers want to participate in and then act as a learning resource, suggest recommendations and act as a mentor in the trading process. Throughout this evolution risk management and having a balanced asset allocation are primary considerations. The customer is the one investing the money so their comfort is a major consideration. I hold three higher education degrees which have focused on the following areas: computer systems, computer programming, business and finance. I have been invloved in the equity markets since 1999 and am passionate about the field of finance. I am always looking to improve and to gain a competitive edge in life and the markets. One way I do this is by being an avid reader. A quote attributed to Mark Twain says, "The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them." But past this I have great resources from my past instructors, friends in the business, colleagues and family. When I get the chance to learn I seize it by making the most of that kind of opportunity. For instance, when I was in college I read the majority of my books for classes, even when it was not required. Often for my finance classes I read sections of the book we were not even reviewing, if I found them interesting. 2) Personal businesses: Fundunity, GeNext Software, ChopperBox.com (Businesses) Wisconsin is where I grew up and I am from a family of business owners, farmers, and construction workers. I am a multi-generation entrepreneur, my parents own a one of a kind business repairing choppper boxes (chopperbox.com). I also own two businesses. Fundunity is a small consulting and debt financing business which is something I am just starting. I did this after doing some private debt financing deals in recent years. I thought that average people deserved a shot at similar deals and my company was born. My first career was as a computer programmer and I worked at Lands' End doing this for 6 years. While I was there I started a web site hosting and design company company, GeNext Software. This business is still active but it has morphed more into a business consulting/software development company at this point. Honestly, I could have grown it more but my main focus now is in regards to my futures and options day job and the Fundunity business. 3) Travels: Pictures, Trip Commentary & Travel Updates (Travels & Diving) Most people I know say that I have lived a live they can not even imagine. What they are talking about is how I have spent over 3 cumulative years traveling to 30 countries in the following regions, Central and South America, Europe, Asia and the Pacific. This mid-20’s “retirement” was achieved by his sound investing and financial decisions. These were not two week trips to an all-inclusive resort. I spent 6 months in Australia driving a bought truck through the whole of Australia. I spent time on the third class trains in Bulgaria and Romania and the local buses in Peru, Thailand and countless other countries. I was amongst the people learning the local culture hiking in the local areas. If you find this interesting you might like my travel site. I posted lots of pictures from my first trip and various updates from all of my trips. Important Risk Disclosure: |
