Trader and investor Guy Adami. A millionaire with a passion for journalism.
In this article, you'll learn about the biography of trader Guy Adami, who loves journalists and, if not for his profession as a trader, would likely have become a TV presenter.
Early years
Adami was born on December 18, 1963, in New York City. His family was far from poor, but there were four other children in the family, so he had to work from childhood.
The most interesting thing is that the future millionaire was born into a family of lawyers; his parents met while still students at law school.
The main breadwinner in the family was the father, Guy Adami, who worked in the local justice department for more than twenty years, he was a judge in the small village of Croton-on-Hudson.
From childhood, Guy Adami was a persistent student with a great love for sports. He even served as captain of his school's team and also captained the basketball team.
Adami graduated from Croton-Harmon High School (the local school where his father worked) in 1982, but it wasn't until 2010 that he was named to the school's all-time greats after going public with his career.
After graduating from high school, the future financier entered and successfully graduated from a rather prestigious private institution, namely Georgetown University in Washington, where he was able to obtain an excellent financial and legal background.
Career
Guy Adami began his trading career in 1986 at Drexel Burnham Lambert. He started at the bottom, working 24/7 on a company-rented trading bench on the New York Mercantile Exchange, where he was required to execute positions based on management recommendations.
However, new acquaintances and the experience he gained became the driving force behind his progress, and after ten years of work, Guy Adami took the position of vice president of the company.
In 1996, Guy Adami left his comfortable position as a vice president for a high-paying job as a regular trader at Goldman Sachs.
He built gold positions for the company and actively promoted its interests on the fixed-income commodity exchange. At the same time, Guy Adami was the only person at the company overseeing gold trading.
In 2000, Guy Adami transferred to a new division, where instead of trading gold, he was given the task of managing a group of traders who were tasked with building a portfolio of industrial stocks and hedging risks.
Love for journalism
After gaining public recognition, Guy Adami became an active participant in various financial television programs.
