Meeting # 4:

Speaker: Web:	Corey Rosenbloom http://www.afraidtotrade.com
Date:	Dec 15, 2009
Time:	7:00 p.m. (Registration 6:30)
Duration:	2 hours +/-
Location:	Crowne Plaza
“Let’s overcome fear and engage in one of the most challenging, exciting, and rewarding activities out there!” Mr. Rosenbloom’s interest in the stock market began as a junior in High School where his team won an investment challenge competition which drew him into investing actual money in the market using basic fundamental analysis.  Later, the Bear Market of the early 2000s would challenge these assumptions and force him into deeper study of market concepts – “There had to be a better way than Buy and Hold strategies”. He was soon introduced to the concepts of price charting, or more formally known as “Technical Analysis” and the pattern recognition, along with indicator combinations, drew his attention sharply in that direction.  As the market began its recovery, he was participating as a momentum intraday trader, which soon gave way to broader swing-trading strategies.  He describes one of many “light-bulb” moments when he was introduced to Sector Rotation Concepts which seemed to make the price charts fit into a logical progression of expectations.  From there, he deployed options trading strategies which gave way to ETF trading, which itself finally gave way to active futures market trading tactics. Mr. Rosenbloom holds a bachelor’s degree in both Psychology (cognitive research focus) and Political Science and later received a Master’s Degree in Public Affairs with a Business concentration.  He has completed Levels I, II, and III of the Market Technician’s Association’s Chartered Market Technician (CMT) program and is awaiting the official charter in early 2009. He currently serves as an independent consultant, analyst, author, and educator.  He manages both personal and family accounts using the concepts discussed here, employing both long-term and active intraday trading strategies.
