About Magnum Opus Financial

Brad at NASDAQ Since April of 1994 when I bought Merck & Co, Inc. (MRK) at $15 and watched it go to $80 in 1999 for a class project in Economic, Legal, and Political Systems I have loved stocks. The stock market is a fun and exciting place. When I went to college, I read The Motley Fool every week, sometimes more than that when I had time. I've read "The Elephant and the Dragon," "When Markets Collide," "How I Trade Options," and every book by Jim Cramer; and I will not be stopping there. If you stop by my office the sounds of the trading day can be heard through our non-stop coverage of CNBC. We have a DVR in the office so that important events during the day can be captured for review at the end of each day before decisions are made for the next.

For years I gave advice to my friends before one of my friends convinced me to get licensed and make a career out of it. I rarely miss anything that goes on during the trading day and I watch every episode of "Fast Money," "Mad Money," and "Options Action." I deal with stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, REITs, and options. I work with young singles and married couples when they first start saving; and I work with multi-million dollar estates coordinating between CPAs, Lawyers, and Trustees.

I am founder of Magnum Opus Financial where I am the chief asset manager. Along with the rigor of asset management, I travel from New York to Florida, and from North Carolina to California meeting with clients, attending industry conferences, and meeting with the Street’s best traders. I make the information learned from all over the country available, not only to utilize in my trading strategies, but to Magnum Opus Financial's over 2000 Twitter followers and dozens of Lunch @ the Market viewers. My passion to educate people about their finances means that I work with every generation from young singles to retired empty-nesters.

As the host of America’s Favorite Traders and Lunch @ the Market, I travel the country meeting people, picking their brains, and getting the most up-to-date information for the shows. Being the host gives me the unique opportunity to learn the tricks of the trade from the industry's brightest minds.

Along with being the Portfolio Manager, my primary focus is growing MagnumOpusFinancial.com into the premier site for investment information and education (free for now). I know, as all of us at Magnum Opus Financial do, that education is the key to successful investing and the foundation of being able to build, grow, and enjoy.
