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.

Page 6: $Reginald Ringgold E-Book$

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.

Chief Seattle, 1854

times ahead?
