EXPERIENCE

T3 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC

New York, NY

Equity/Options Trader

June 2005 - July 2010

Responsibilities: Conducted research, designed, and implemented

trades with an intraday and multi-day scope.

Actively managed a portfolio of 10-15

equity and options positions at a given time.

. In the top decile out of nearly 300 traders based on profitability

. Produced annual returns in excess of 20% from 2006 through 2010

. Elected by the partners to mentor other traders in risk management and

advanced trading strategies to increase their profitability

. Utilized options to effectively hedge equities positions as well as

take advantage of rising implied volatility into earnings

announcements

. Tested various execution methods to minimize transaction costs

Past Investment Situations:

. March 2009: Long PCX: The value of the company's raw holdings exceeded

their market cap and the 1.50 P.E ratio suggested it was undervalued

relative to its competitors' 12-20 P.E. In addition, commodities as a

whole began to stabilize as the price of crude oil rebounded. Entered

position at $3.33 in early March and the second at $3.94 in mid-

March. Closed the position at $8.80 in June for 142% gain.

. June 2010: Long VVUS calls: VVUS pulled in 25% from its May highs to

stabilize along its 200 day moving average. I researched upcoming

events and noticed an FDA panel hearing regarding the approval of the

company's Qnexa weight loss drug. Although the options were priced

with 240% volatility (historical volatility was around 70%), I knew

from past FDA announcements that option volatility would remain high

and likely increase into the announcement. I bought VVUS July 10

calls for $2.40 on June 23rd and sold for $4.30 prior to the

announcement for a 79% return.

. Current: Letting the choppy action play out until there is commitment

to direction. In my opinion, the S&P looks like it wants to build a

head and shoulders pattern with the left and possible right shoulder

in the 1120-1150 range and the head from mid April at 1220. If this

pattern solidifies, the market should resolve below the 1040 neckline

for a measured move to the 860 area.
