Kirk began in
the futures industry under the tutelage of a former currency trader with the Bank of
Montreal. Expanding upon his knowledge of the currency markets, he then began
working for a cash grain dealer, building an intimate knowledge of the grains and
agricultural commodities, and their technical behaviors over time.
Whether you are a one-lot or one hundred-lot trader, Kirk
will take the time to discuss your goals for your account and help you to build a trading
plan that suits your needs. Since he is a trader himself, Kirk understands the
difficulties in trading the markets and uses his own experiences to help his clients.
Kirk is an accomplished musician, as well as an avid
reader. He spends his spare time trying to fool trout with a fly rod
and enjoying all the many natural attractions that Utah has to offer.

markets. At CSC, we are also glad Steve knows a thing or two
about technical analysis as well. Combining both in his
trading style.

Manager in charge of the Southwest region out of Omaha.

Portland, Oregon office - where he was in charge of trading and
brokering the company’s expansive Wheat positions, as well as
expanding the brokerage, consulting, and hedging business.
After running his own agri-business
consulting and hedging company, Steve still advises elevator and

Rick has two degrees from Brigham Young University: a
BA in Spanish in 1989 and an MBA with Beta Gamma Sigma honors in
1994. In his MBA studies he emphasized the capital markets and finance.
Rick spent three years working in the stock brokerage business, three years
as a mortgage loan officer and other positions in the finance industry.
Rick has been an observer of the markets for many years and has decided to
redirect his career into the commodity markets because of the opportunities
he anticipates in these markets for the next several years. Rick believes
that a disciplined trader can be profitable even in the most difficult
markets.
In his spare time Rick enjoys playing chess, reading,
and spending time with his family. He currently teaches chess to children
at the Orem Public Library. He sees an analogy between chess and successful
trading:
“In chess, both players have access to the same
information. The winner is generally the one who sees more deeply into the
position. Aggressive speculative play is flashy but at its highest levels,
great chess is about great defense. Only one world champion in recent
memory was an attacker, the rest were defensive players. In the same way,
most traders have access to the same information. The successful trader is
generally the one who sees more deeply into current market conditions and
plays great “defense”, that is, proper money management and an awareness of
trader psychology.”

Brad Moore attended the University of Massachusetts
from 1991-1995, then went on to graduate study at Harvard University
from 1995-1997. He started working for Fidelity Investments during
the summer of 1997 and a year later got his start in trading on the
NASDAQ Exchange in New York as a Market Maker, where he worked until
late 2001. He learned trading as a Market Maker from some of the
best traders in the business, and routinely placed hundreds of
trades a day, occasionally in excess of 200,000 shares at a time.
He has since learned to adapt his trading style and methods to the
needs of clients, which may include day, swing, trend, and position
trading methods.
Brad moved to the Salt Lake area in late 2001 to get away from Wall
Street. After the move Brad concentrated on his own account and
discovered the futures markets, since by 2001 the bubble in the
equity markets had already burst. Brad still trades his own account
as well as discretionary accounts for clients. Brad considers
himself both a trader and an instructor. He in his free time Brad
enjoys hiking, biking, skiing, rock climbing, playing guitar, and
spending time with his friends and family. He resides in Salt Lake
City, UT with his wife Kristine.
