Jon Najarian

54

Director


Jon Najarian – DIRECTOR – Jon ‘DRJ’ Najarian was linebacker for the Chicago Bears before he turned to another kind of contact sport – trading on the Chicago Board Options Exchange.

 

He became a member of the CBOE, NYSE, CME and CBOT and worked as a floor trader for some 25 years. In 1990 he founded Mercury Trading, a market-making firm at the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), which he sold in 2004 to Citadel, one of the world’s largest hedge funds. In 2005 Jon co-founded optionMONSTER and tradeMONSTER – both were acquired in 2014 by private equity firm General Atlantic Partners. Today, he is a professional investor, money manager and media analyst.

 

Jon developed and patented trading applications and algorithms used to identify unusual activity in stock, options, and futures markets. optionMONSTER, an options news and education site, was described by Securities Industry News as “content king of the options business”.

 

For years tradeMONSTER has been rated “Best for Options Traders” by Barron’s and was the first online broker to deploy streaming, desktop-like trading in a web browser.

 

In 2016 Jon and Pete co-founded Najarian Advisors, a company advising institutional investors on options strategies.

 

The brothers invest in and work with start-ups via Rebellion Partners, a venture consulting firm they launched in 2015.

 

Jon can be seen weekly on CNBC, where he is cast member of the “Halftime Report” and the “Fast Money” show.  He is also the feature of the “DRJ Report” on CBOE-TV, the exchange’s popular webcast.


There are no existing family relationships amongst our Directors.
