About – Biography

TraderStef pursued a career within the NYC investment banking industry beginning in 1996 where she developed a diverse skillset and earned accomplishments while working with C-level Wall Street talent in executive administration, human resourcing, the registered representatives “bullpen” trading floor, technology and communication, training education and development, business analysis, and global risk management. She began investing in precious metals in 1999 while following financial market trends during the Dotcom bubble and post-9/11, then exited corporate investment banking in the dark days of the great financial crisis after five years in risk management.

As an independent investor-trader, she was mentored while cutting her technical analysis teeth in a live trading room venue for three years and developed and hosted a live Precious Hour webinar. A BFA with high honors from one of the leading visual arts institutions in the world and freelance work in the magazine publishing industry of New York City afforded her an uncanny ability to easily recognize complex stock chart patterns in combination with technical studies. The Precious Hour (now the Trading Workshop) specialized in gold and silver, mining stocks, and general equities, combined with research on industry fundamentals, global news, geopolitics, and monetary policy, otherwise known as fusion analysis.

TraderStef’s charting and articles have promulgated through social and financial media platforms since 2013. She interviews with financial publications, appears as a guest on live talk-radio, provides market analysis behind the scenes upon request, hosts a webinar-based trading workshop for those who aspire to be a seasoned trader, and writes as a freelance contributing editor on financial matters and world events.
