The 2006 Charlotte Seminar

In 2006, Argo Futures, Dan Gramza, and an unnamed commodity trading advisor specializing in credit spreads traveled to Charlotte for a seminar addressing S&P credit-spread strategy. The surviving invitation and RSVP card are the primary evidence for this historical collaboration.

The seminar also included lectures by Dan Gramza using real-time market and trading demonstrations. The archival record does not identify the unnamed CTA, report attendance figures, or establish performance results; those details are not asserted here.

Dan Gramza — Documented Industry Context

Dan Gramza is a futures-market educator and author whose work has focused on trading strategy, market analysis, and the practical use of derivatives.
