2. Spot the Trend and Go With It
Determine the trend and follow it. Market trends
come in many sizes – long-term, intermediate-term and short-term. First, determine which one you’re going to
trade and use the appropriate chart.
Once the wealth gap was made apparent to me I
quickly realigned my goals in life. I learned early on in life
that you cannot create wealth by exchanging your time sweat and energy for
money but rather buy using leverage and
allowing your money to work for you.
Progress means moving from Words to Worth to Wealth

Rosegold Investments, a CFTC registered Commodity

Reginald Ringgold has made his way to success by staying the course and keeping on going...no matter what like his hero, Reginald F.
Lewis, an American businessman who graduated from Harvard Law School in 1968, built a net worth estimated at $400 million and was
the first African American to build a billion dollar company, Beatrice Foods. A few years after Lewis died, Reginald Ringgold began
building his future with a deep respect for the empire built by this great man.
Ringgold’s journey began with searching for success in a world of
mixed messages and tough lessons -- from trouble on the street
to becoming a father too early in life. “I stopped the dreams of
going to the NBA after realizing that it wasn’t guaranteed but Wall
Street was.” said Ringgold, who admitted that if he didn’t change,
he would end up heading down the wrong path.
Finding inspiration and
motivation
He credits his mother with
helping him succeed along
the way. She kept him close
to his Cherokee roots in a
time of challenge for a
young, single mother.
“My tribe gave me values,” said Ringgold, who
noted that his mother, who worked 2-3 jobs, gave
him hope.
Also, he credits a family friend and medical doctor with being a
positive influence. “When we moved to the Bay Area, he took me in
and taught me about music, philosophy and life, he also got me out
of many tight situations in Oakland.”
In 12th grade, he participated in a junior trading camp and found his
love for finance. After graduating from high school, he could a afford
a major college, so he decided to ride the wave of the 2002 real
estate boom.
By 2002, he had began his career in finance and continued to build
his future in trading. Mr. Ringgold launched his career with
Ameriquest Mortgage in 2002 as a Senior Account Executive. With
extensive investment and operating experience in the real estate
industry. He has negotiated, packaged and sold over $100MM worth
of A, ALT A and subprime mortgages for both residential and
commercial clients.

3. Find the Low and High of our Intellectual
Capital -- then use it to your advantage
Our intellectual capital continues to be poorly
distributed as a community. It often seems the only thing that little African American boys and girls believe they can do is entertain others. We are either singing and
dancing or chasing a ball of some sort. Enlight of the fact,
one thing that remains undeniable, the power is in the “briefcase” not the ball
or the microphone.
I got my start by giving myself a start. This quote by Madam CJ Walker, first African American Woman
billionaire, inspired Ringgold, who is self-taught, self-motivated and
proven that success begins with a commitment to succeed through
purpose, plan and process.
Next step – trading
A close friend connected him with a Proprietary Trading firm and
his skill for trading would be tested. After six months of
participating in the program, he was asked to moderate sessions
and teach classes. He eventually released his “Tips for Pips” and
became known as one of the best instructors.
In addition to managing a Hedge Fund, Ringgold’s passion for
teaching emerged. He has been teaching and mentoring investors
to navigate the financial markets effectively since 2010. As a
trading instructor he provides a wealth of knowledge and
resources to help other traders improve their trading.
“My goal is to redefine and advocate for economic sustainability
and wealth creation in our community," “The minority banking
industry, more specifically the African-American owned banking
segment, is fragmented and under tremendous pressure from
larger and more robustly capitalized mainstream competitors who
have embraced the growing diversity of the marketplace. I believe
that, in addition to capital, I can contribute fresh energy and new
strategies that would improve the competitive posture of African-
American owned banking and financial services businesses, as
well as advance the mission of multi-generational economic
strength and wealth creation in our community.”
4. Draw the Line from the Past to the
Present and Stay the Course
Trend lines are one of the
simplest and most effective
charting tools. All you need is a straight
edge and two points on the chart.
In 2004, he opened up his own mortgage brokerage
and employed his mother and another manager. “We
did loans for businesses and individuals, focused on
credit repair and investments until the unfortunate
mortgage crisis. I even published a bestselling book,
“The Billionaire’s Business Blueprint,” to help
people achieve financial freedom. The real estate
market was dead so I had to reinvent myself.”
“I accurately predicted the mortgage crises &
realized you couldn’t make money in Real Estate
anymore,” Ringgold said. “I had to take managing
money seriously, so I helped launch Epicenter.”
In 2007, he went on to serve as Chief Investment
Officer for Epicenter Investment Group, a northern
California based hedge fund. He served as the firm’s
global macroeconomic strategist and was
responsible for research and portfolio construction.
Unfortunately one of the business managers was
caught mismanaging funds.
As a Emerging Fund Manager under 30 during the
economic recession without a degree it was more
difficult than ever imagined. Thankfully with
continued support of his family & mentors, his next
chapter of success was closer than ever realized.
5. Know the Warning and
Confirming Signs
Humankind has not woven
the web of life.We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to
ourselves.All things are bound
together.All things connect.
