Moxie Trader on HubPages
Hello. My name is Michael Fox. I’m from the metro-Salt Lake City area – the crossroads of the West.
I’m recently separated from my employer, due to the poor economy.
My professional background is in the banking industry (credit card banking), wherein I’ve devoted twenty-some-odd years to learning the craft of that trade.
My last assignment was in managing our bank’s team responsible for Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A). We compiled budgets, prepared forecasts, and sought to understand any reason for deviation from expectation. We piloted the monthly closing process specific to the business card product and prepared associated reporting.
Also, as implied by the analysis part of FP&A, we spent a great deal of time studying cardholder performance data – looking for correlations that we could use to better manage our business. In course, we compiled a collection of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) that were representative of the health of our business. In trending these KPI, we were better able to anticipate significant changes and implement strategy to either exploit or compensate. Outside of my job, for local charitable groups, I’ve conducted workshops on personal finance and provident living.
My passion is in the creative arts. I’m a photographer, writer, and guitarist. Over the years, these have been my hobbies; outlets for the creative energy that lives within. I’ve photographed weddings, graduating seniors, families, couples, and little children. I’ve photographed products, businesses, and buildings. But my favorite subjects are nature themes. As an extension, I enjoy teaching others the craft (and art) of taking better pictures.
The technical and the artistic: an odd combination?
Maybe. But, hey, so is peppermint and brownies – but my wife pulls that off rather convincingly.
I appreciate your time and attention. I will do my best to repay your investment in me with quality content. Under the moniker of Moxie Trader, I will write a series of hubs on the financial markets, banking, and personal finance. I will also explore the art and craft of trading today’s turbulent equity markets.

Happy Reading!
-Mike.
