Meet Jared Dillian

Jared Dillian has never been a typical finance guy. He went from the Coast Guard to Lehman Brothers, where he ran the ETF trading desk, before walking away from Wall Street on his own terms and building a career as one of finance’s most distinctive voices.

Today, Jared brings decades of market experience to NUMBER investors, who tell us they love his independent perspective on markets, his freakish ability to read sentiment, and his ability to zig when markets zag. Oh, and his long track record of finding trades that make a lot of money doesn’t hurt, either.

The first financial book I ever read was A Random Walk Down Wall Street at age 23. I said, “This is the dumbest book I have ever read,” and set out to prove it wrong.

—Jared Dillian
