Dick Diamond
Dick Diamond has been trading for a living for over 35 years. Diamond
has expertise in trading OEX options, S&P/Nasdaq futures and Dow/Amex/Nasdaq
equities.
He holds an MBA from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science
degree in economics from The Wharton School of Business (University of
Pennsylvania). Diamond was attracted to Wall Street because his father
was a member of the New York Stock Exchange. After active duty in the
Marine Corps, he worked as a floor broker on the American Stock Exchange
(1960-1965). He left the floor in 1965 and has been trading his own account
since then.
Diamond's enthusiasm for trading is perhaps matched only by his passion
and desire to teach and mentor students. In fact, he has taught over 1,000
students his trading discipline through his Market Mentor trading course. His earliest fan was Bob Prechter, president
of Elliott
Wave International and author of multiple books on the Wave Principle.
Diamond taught Bob important nuances of option trading that gave Prechter
an edge when he set a new record for options trading in the U.S. Trading
Championship in 1984.
Diamond has had the pleasure
of working with students from as far away as Alaska, Abu Dhabi, Germany,
Belgium and India. In addition, he has been asked to lecture at several
professional seminars.
Diamond currently resides in Vero Beach Florida, where he continues to trade for a living.
