We are pleased to welcome Joe (aka Hammer, aka GreyBeard) to our little NFTRH family. Whereas I am more of a macro guy (who does like trading to a degree), and Izzy is early in her journey, Joe is someone who knows his way around trading in professional settings and has developed unique ways of analyzing charts for optimal setups along with an equally unique cycle timing methodology.
As yet, Joe is what I would call an associate, a trusted friend. After a personally challenging 2025, and as 2026 unfolds we look forward to seeing what we can create with Joe and a small, diverse group of market and mining professionals.
Joe’s self-introduction:
My name is Joe and answer to that, Hammer or GreyBeard. I grew up in northern Minnesota and began my career as a bean counter before transitioning to the finance world, first as a junior analyst / trader on an emerging markets desk. I moved on to perform due diligence and capital allocation for a NYC based hedge fund of funds for five years before joining a short only hedge fund as an analyst and principal. My interests are volunteering at my local food bank, watching the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Kraken, and listening to music and attending as many concerts my aging body can handle.
