Greg Weldon's Blog

CEO; President
Weldon Financial

Weldon Financial was founded by Gregory Weldon in 1997, and is recognized within the industry as one of the top macro-research firms in the world.

Greg Weldon started his Wall Street career working in the Comex Gold and Silver Pits after graduating Colgate University. He progressed as an institutional sales broker at Lehman and Prudential before joining Moore Capital as a proprietary trader. At Moore, Greg honed his systematic trading methodology and risk management discipline before joining Commodity Corporation where he became one of their top risk-adjusted money managers.

Today, he publishes Weldon’s Money Monitor, The Metal Monitor and The ETF Playbook in addition to operating his Managed Futures Account Program as a CTA. He has a unique ability to define and forecast the market’s direction through his proprietary dissection of fundamental and technical market data. Few publications offer the wide scope offered within the macro-perspective presented by Greg, and few newsletters so fluidly combine fundamentals, technical analysis, inter-market examinations, psychology, and intuitive insights as does Weldon’s Money Monitor… stacking macro-trends against the micro-evolution taking place. Weldon Financial is now a highly regarded and profitable publishing company, having garnered some of the world’s most respected fund managers as loyal and daily readers.

Greg has been featured on CNBC Power Lunch and Fast Money, Moneytalks on the Corus Radio Network, Bloomberg radio and has been featured, as a global macro speaker, at several international financial conferences and mentioned in several articles and investment websites. Greg published, Gold Trading Boot Camp, How to Master the Basics and Become a Successful Commodities Investor, in late 2006 in which he predicted the current global credit crisis and discussed the impact on GOLD from intensified central bank debt monetization.

By
