Summary

Paramount Capital Management (PCM) utilizes a discretionary trading strategy developed by Jack Marshall over his long 38 year career in the commodity trading industry. Jack Marshall has traded his own money for 36 consecutive years in the commodities market. He is a former floor trader in Chicago where he lived and owned a seat on the Mid-America Commodity Exchange (now the mini-contract division of the CBT). Over his long career Marshall has developed very strong, expert commercial grain and cotton contacts. He is a member and former director of the Memphis Cotton Exchange and his office is located in the Exchange Building. Memphis is a world leading location for commodity production, transportation, warehousing, and utilization.

Investment Strategy

Very simple----Identify markets that have potential---that are either under-valued or over-valued and take aggressive positions to maximize a move back to a more normal valuation. This process requires both fundamental and technical analysis as well as an aggressive offensive/defensive approach.

Risk Management

Know what the risk/reward ratios are and trade accordingly. Use stops and other forms of aggressive defensive methods. Money management is of Paramount importance.
