Career
After working several years in what he considered to be a dead-end job as a financial analyst at East. F. Hutton, Martin accumulated a nest egg of $100,000, quit the firm, and bought a seat on the American Stock Exchange where he began trading stocks options and futures. In his first full year as an independent trader he made $600,000 and a year later earned $1.2 million. Marti"s style is to get in and out of positions in a hurry, in 1985 began his own fund in which he would manage other people"s money as well as his own.
In Spring 2013, on the 50th anniversary of his enrollment as a freshman, he came back to Amherst College and gave a lecture on his technique, and on philosophy of life using combination of work ethic, intelligence, and sheer guts.
The lecture is available online. Martin is a second Champion Horse owner.
