| Logistic Research & Trading Co. is a small firm built on big ideas. We have expertise in Economics, Finance, Mathematics, and Statistics, which we deliver to our clients on a consulting basis and in an instructional context as well. This firm was organized in 1994 to trade commodity futures and options. Joel Gibbons, the owner, had previously been both a professor of mathematics and of economics, and the head of government trading at a large investment management firm in Chicago. The firm continues to trade its proprietary capital but it does not at this time solicit customer accounts. In recent years our principal commitment has been a series of books on the modern world, published under the series title Hidden in the Headlines. At the present time the first three numbers are available. Check them out on Goto Books |
