Lind-Waldock Joins TraderPlanet.com, a Social Networking Site for Traders

Chicago, January 26, 2009 – Lind-Waldock®, the premier commodity futures broker for individual traders and investors, has joined the TraderPlanet.com community, a unique new social networking site for traders. As a "Conqueror" member, Lind-Waldock will contribute educational and market-specific content for the TraderPlanet.com site, including articles written by professional Lind Plus market strategists, webinars about commodity futures trading, and a timely blog with market updates, insights and news from Lind-Waldock.

"Lind-Waldock believes its presence on TraderPlanet.com will open up the world of commodity futures trading to individuals who are seeking an alternative to stocks and bonds. We are pleased to be a contributor to this unique new site, where traders can discover new information and share their views on the markets," said Mark Sachs, president of Lind-Waldock. "While futures trading isn't right for everyone, given the stock market's performance in 2008, there has never been a better time to consider diversifying with commodities," he added.

Lind-Waldock has been catering to the needs of individual investors for more than four decades, and provides access to more than 700 global commodity futures markets. Independent trading is offered through its Self-Directed division, while broker-assisted trading is available through its Lind Plus division.

Individuals who want a professional trading advisor to make all the decisions can choose a Managed Futures account.
