Something You Earn!

26 years of Experience in all market conditions. Since the early age of six years old, Mr Collard dreamed of being an Investment broker. He studied the Wall Street Journal from an early age and upon completing an undergraduate degree and post-graduate work in Finance, he embarked upon his dream at age 22.
		Mr William R Collard III's experience ranges from working on the trading floor of the Chicago Board of Trade (the largest trading floor in the world) to managing an office for a large regional Securities firm. A third generation Investment broker, Mr Collard has held licenses in Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, Insurance and Commodity Futures. He has been offered prestigious positions with many Major brokerage firms. Realizing that Commodity Futures was his primary interest, he dropped his other licenses to become a Specialist in the Futures markets, rather than a "jack of all trades".
This decision has yielded a Successful Commodity trader of over 20 years. His Professionalism has led the NFA to designated him an official "Arbitrator".

Timing & Value
Winners find Ways; Losers find Excuses!

Twin pillars of Successful Investing. Now value is important. But value can be around for a long time before it is recognized. Just recently, many Investor's learned about the word; Value. They saw the value of their stock portfolio's slip into oblivion. Why? They were valuing the stocks they bought at P/E ratios of 50 to 1. Projecting 50 years of earnings; which as we have all seen, just don't materialized. See: Enron, K Mart, World Com, Global Crossing, etc. Our specialty is in finding and recognizing value. Reality Check: Commodities can not go to "zero" like the stocks listed above. They have "Intrinsic" value. Supply vs Demand!

Timing: Is critical to any Successful venture. When to get in, when to get out and even more importantly: When to stand aside. This is where most Investor?s fail? Not having the patience to either stay in an Investment and allow it to mature in "Value" and/or: Not being able to be out of the markets. Timing & Value = SUCESS! PROFITS ARE A FUNCTION OF TIME!
