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

Current Events:

The updated edition of Economics in the Present
Tense is temporarily unavailable. A new edition is
on its way, from Transaction Publishers: the
Rutgers University Press. Expect it to be in print
this winter. The new Transactions edition will be
substantially the same as the existing revised one.

The Empire Strikes a Match in a World Full of
Oil.
The fourth book is coming along. It exists in the
form of a draft ready for public comment.
Anyone interested in having a copy of the draft
can just write to me by using the "Contact" link
above to ask for it. It is about 300 pages, so don't
say you weren't warned.

The public wants Uncle Sam to help pay, but
without his "help" to tell us what we need.
