WizeFEST 2009: an update from the front line

I recently attended WizeFEST 2009 in Dallas, TX. It was a conference of traders for traders that are primarily users of trading tools offered by The WizeTRADE Group.

This event was held at the Sheraton Hotel and Convention Center in downtown Dallas where there were over 60 classes spread over several days on trading methods and techniques, several general sessions with inspirational speakers providing insight and offering guidelines to develop a balanced lifestyle, and an Exhibition Hall, open more than 10 hours a day, full of trading tools from The WizeTrade Group and several partners that were being constantly demonstrated by experienced traders and trainers.

Classes covered how-to trade in stocks, options, forex, and commodities. Several classes were conducted by former traders and trainers at The WizeTrade Group who have gone on and are now key contributors on CNBC (where they are frequently seen) on various segments throughout the trading day.

Speakers included Stuart Varney, business reporter and journalist of Fox News, and Chris Gardner, who was the key figure of the movie “Pursuit of Happyness”.

Several of the recently released products from The WizeTrade Group that had large crowds of people around their booth include 4xTracker (which seems to be everything of CommandTradeFX except the automatic trade execution) and WizeTrade Commodities (now offering over 50 tradable markets with new markets in the Grains, Financials, Metals, Indices, Energy, Meats, and the Softs). Alan Knuckman, formerly with The WizeTrade Group, made a guest appearance and conducted a class showing how “It ALL comes back to commodities” highlighting the updated version of WizeTrade Commodities.

This conference is outstanding every year yet somehow it continues to exceed the expectations set by previous year’s events. It is an amazing group of people … traders for traders … providing clarity through community.

As a former engineer with General Dynamics and management consultant at Deloitte, I am on a mission to empower individuals by increasing their financial literacy, improving their ability for personal sustainability, and to contribute to the program that has a goal of creating 100 Millionaires by 2012.

I favor a recent quote from Steve Forbes … Forbes says “financial education and empowerment from the pursuit of wealth creating strategies are the keys to recovery from this ongoing financial crisis”.
