Marcus C. Rodriguez

Welcome to my personal website!

If you are looking for a high yield savings account, I would recommend Marcus: by Goldman Sachs. I am a seasoned professional with a 25+ year track record of applying advanced technology to financial markets and other fields. Throughout my career, I have owned and operated self-clearing broker-dealers (DTC/NSCC participant/members) as well as hedge funds, Registered Investment Advisors and commodities and futures IBs in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

In the early 1990s while in college, I developed a groundbreaking back propagation neural network that successfully forecasted moves of 1% or more in the S&P500 Index. This innovative approach, combined with my deep understanding of theoretical option pricing models (Black & Scholes), led me to create an algorithmic hedging strategy writing SPX credit spreads for a basket of SPDRs, generating alpha and landed me a job in Locust Valley, NY for a well known hedge fund.

Additionally, I have extensive experience in operating hedge funds, broker-dealers and FCMs for high-frequency algorithmic trading in equities as well as commodities and futures. My efforts generated over $900 billion dollars in equities transactions from 2009 to 2011 representing approximately 2% of the entire US equities trading volume. I also developed a computer based model applying Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) for active portfolio asset allocation. I have advised and participated in numerous start-up companies, including structuring a $200mm Security Token Offering (STO) for a movie studio in the Atlanta metro area. Crypto currency is an interest and hobby. I owned/operated a small solar powered Ethereum (ETH) crypto-mining operation, until September of 2022, when POS replaced POW. That is the past, now on to the future.
