CTA Introduction

Ronald Barba was born and raised in Hamden, CT. He graduated from Brown University in 1962, majoring in philosophy.

His first position was as a stockbroker with a firm which was later merged into Citicorp. In the early 70’s, he observed the commodity market and saw a great opportunity for growth and financial profit. Mr. Barba became a CTA (Commodity Trading Advisor) and directed 100% of his business into the commodity market. He built a substantial business in commodity trading and started his own firm Futures Investments,Inc.

In 2005, after over 30 years of experience in trading the commodity market, Mr. Barba formed The Barbashop LLC (TBL), which became registered as a CTA in June 2005. His objective was to give investors an opportunity to invest in the commodity market as a diversification from the stock market.

All decisions are discretionary, and based upon both fundamental and technical analysis. The Barbashop,LLC will primarily trade the most liquid markets, i.e. metals, oils, currencies, bonds, stock indices, etc. Mr. Barba may make short term trades or take long term positions depending on how he analyzes the market. Mr. Barba will primarily buy calls, puts, call spreads and put spreads on futures. He will also buy and sell futures.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING COMMODITY FUTURES, OPTIONS, AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE ("FOREX") IS SUBSTANTIAL.

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION. THE HIGH DEGREE OF LEVERAGE THAT IS OFTEN OBTAINABLE IN COMMODITY FUTURES, OPTIONS, AND FOREX TRADING CAN WORK AGAINST YOU AS WELL AS FOR YOU. THE USE OF LEVERAGE CAN LEAD TO LARGE LOSSES AS WELL AS GAINS. IN SOME CASES, MANAGED COMMODITY ACCOUNTS ARE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL CHARGES FOR MANAGEMENT AND ADVISORY FEES. IT MAY BE NECESSARY FOR THOSE ACCOUNTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THESE CHARGES TO MAKE SUBSTANTIAL TRADING PROFITS TO AVOID DEPLETION OR EXHAUSTION OF THEIR ASSETS. THE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT CONTAINS A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS AND EACH FEE TO BE CHARGED TO YOUR ACCOUNT BY THE COMMODITY TRADING ADVISOR ("CTA"). THE REGULATIONS OF THE COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION ("CFTC") REQUIRE THAT PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS OF A CTA RECEIVE A DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT BEFORE THEY ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WHEREBY THE CTA WILL DIRECT OR GUIDE THE CLIENT'S COMMODITY INTEREST TRADING AND THAT FEES AND CERTAIN RISK FACTORS BE HIGHLIGHTED. IASG WILL PROVIDE YOU A COPY OF THE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT AT NO COST. YOU SHOULD REVIEW THE CTA'S DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT AND STUDY IT CAREFULLY TO DETERMINE WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
