Dennis Gartman, publisher of The Gartman Letter, a daily commentary on the global capital markets, will speak at North Carolina State University's Millennium Seminar Series with a presentation to students, faculty, staff and the general public at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 19, in Stewart Theatre on campus. His remarks will focus on the global financial meltdown, its effect on global and foreign markets, and what investors can and should do during this difficult economic time.

The Gartman Letter is subscribed to by leading banks, broking firms, hedge funds, mutual funds, energy and grain trading companies around the world. Gartman appears often on CNBC, ROB-TV and Bloomberg television discussing commodities and the capital markets, and speaks before various associations and trade groups around the world.

Gartman graduated from the University of Akron in 1972 and went to graduate school at NC State. He worked as an economist for Cotton Inc. analyzing cotton supply/demand in the U.S. textile industry. From there, Gartman went to North Carolina National Bank where he traded foreign exchange and money market instruments.

In the late 1970s, Gartman became the chief financial futures analyst for A.G. Becker & Company in Chicago. Gartman was an independent member of the Chicago Board of Trade, trading in treasury bond, treasury note and GNMA futures contracts. In the mid 1980s, Gartman moved to Virginia to run the futures brokerage operation for the Virginia National Bank, and in 1987 began producing The Gartman Letter on a full-time basis.
