George Cocalis has been in the futures industry for over 17 years, starting as a clerk on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. He rose through the ranks to floor manager of one of the largest futures brokerage firms managing the S&Ps, currency and meat desks, with supervisory duties over both retail and institutional accounts. After being promoted to floor manager, he added the responsibility of training and managing over 100 employees. Mr. Cocalis joined Brewer Futures Group in October 2005 as a Senior Market Strategist servicing the institutional and retail customer base. His views of risk management include trading breakouts on recognizable price patterns and layering different stop points instead of an “all-or-none” strategy. Mr. Cocalis helps his customers understand that it is not the customer vs. the markets but really the customer vs. himself. Recently, Mr. Cocalis has embarked on a campaign to educate the trading public as to the benefits of including gold in a diversified portfolio. He writes a bi-monthly gold newsletter (The Gold Insight Report) and has written a series of informative articles on the gold market (The Making of a Gold Bug) which have been featured on numerous financial websites including Kitco, Goldseek, Financialsense, Goldeditor, Goldmau, and Cometgold. Mr. Cocalis has also provided market commentary on the BizRadio Network (www.BizRadio.com) with Jack Bouroudjian, and on the syndicated television program “First Business Morning News.” George can be contacted at 800-971-2730 or emailed at gcocalis@brewerinvestmentgroup.com.
