Mike Bridges is a graduate of UCLA and Southwestern University School of Law. He is a California attorney specializing in personal financial planning, and is recently retired as a Financial Advisor for Zurich-based UBS, the world's largest private bank and wealth management firm.

Mike's favorite trading vehicle is index futures, but he is also skilled at trading and teaching stocks, commodities, Forex, ETFs and options of all kinds. While Mike's course is perfect for beginners, it is also an excellent refresher for more experienced traders.

Most self-taught traders suffer from information overload. Mike will help you separate the "wheat from the chaff," and get back to basics. He has always believed that the best traders are those individuals who have found a trading style that matches their intellect, personality, time horizon and level of risk tolerance.

In addition to being an active member of the California Bar for over 30 years, Mike has held the following professional licenses: NASD Series 7 (general securities), NASD Series 66 (investment adviser), and NASD Series 3 (commodity futures and options). His company, Fortune Forecaster Inc., is a Commodity Trading Advisor registered with the National Futures Association and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Testimonials;

• " As you can guess I'm pretty pleased... and confident. This is my second go around trading futures. I quit a couple years ago out of sheer frustration. But as soon as I saw Mike's course, I instinctively knew his system would work for me. And I haven't been disappointed. Like Mike says, "In order to be successful you must find a trading system you can trust, apply easily and doesn't overtax your risk tolerance" - I have Mike Bridges' system; his course; his mentoring; and his continuing help... which he freely and liberally gives to all students, current and former, have exceeded my expectations." Bradford G.

• "I would like to take this opportunity to thank the academy for putting me in touch with Mike Bridges. The amount of knowledge I have acquired is without question immeasurable. I feel as though I have taken the first step in becoming independent in my now certain trading career. It is reassuring to be able to have had access to someone like Mike, since he has such a confident and professional view of the markets and the exemplification of the fortitude necessary for successful trading. This type of sevice and loyalty is quite rare and is much appreciated. I forgot to mention that the trading skills and ideas Mike has shared with me in the past few weeks have more than paid for the course three times over. Thank you again." Joseph Y.
