INTERESTED IN LEARNING TO TRADE? … LONE STAR STATE NOW OFFERS THREE ONLINE TRADING LOCATIONS

Vince Rowe’s Third Online Trading Academy Franchise, Set to Open in Austin, Makes Texas Home to More Online Trading Academy Franchises Than Any State in the U.S.

IRVINE, Calif. (June 5, 2007) – Financial radio talk show host Vince Rowe will soon open the doors to his newest Online Trading Academy Center in Austin, Texas. With successful franchises already operating in Dallas and Houston, Rowe has now become one of Online Trading Academy’s leading franchisees further proving the leadership role that Online Trading Academy has taken in the financial education industry.

Rowe opened his first Online Trading Academy in 2005 as a result of his experience as a student with Online Trading Academy. “I had spent over $40,000 on software from another program that I thought would make me a good trader,” says Vince Rowe, president/owner Online Trading Academy Texas. “But what I discovered after dumping the software and taking the Online Trading Academy course was that I needed to learn trading skills to go along with the knowledge. And that’s exactly what Online Trading Academy did, setting it apart from all other programs.”

The Online Trading Academy state-of-the-art facilities use skill-based courses designed for individual traders and investors. From the novice to the experienced, students will learn to use the same tools and techniques as the Wall Street pro’s while trading with real “live” accounts. Online Trading Academy covers the commissions and losses allowing students to experience and learn in a real trading environment without risking any of their own capital.

“We teach in a real world situation,” says Rowe. “The best way to learn is by doing and with the help of our experienced teaching professionals our students learn to trade on active accounts while we assume the risk for them.”

Rowe’s first franchise in Dallas was soon followed by a second in Houston and he is currently finalizing the details on his third in Austin. “I knew that the Online Trading Academy had a great product, all I had to do was market it properly,” Says Rowe. “I market aggressively using my radio talk show and television spots as well.”

Rowe hosts a popular daily radio talk show that is heard in Texas and Oklahoma. Much of his show content comes from Online Trading Academy alumni and issues that they are having with their trading plans. He reviews these problems and then shares the resolution with listeners. His broadcast is also downloaded as a podcast over 450,000 times a week.

“I like to think of this as added value for our Texas traders,” says Rowe. “We also have more than 400 active members in our alumni groups that are meeting on a regular a basis so the learning never stops for our Online Trading Academy graduates.”

Rowe is an ex-Army Ranger and decorated Desert Storm veteran. His business career included positions at New Horizons Computer Learning Centers, Sylvan Learning Centers and Fujitsu. He has bought and sold several businesses and continues to hold majority ownership positions in small incubator companies. After several years as a professional trader he decided to combine his education and trading experience and opened Online Trading Academy – Texas in 2005.

His show can be heard weekly at the following times and locations:
KLIF.COM (Dallas): AM 570 SATURDAY 6pm (CST)
BizRadio.com (Dallas): AM 1360 / AM 1320 (Houston) 11 to noon (CST)
MP3s and podcasts as well as Internet live streaming
