Goldberg Securities was founded by David Goldberg who was instrumental in transforming the Chicago Board of Trade from being a simple grain exchange into a global marketplace for agriculture and financial instruments. He was a leader who helped to create what would become the Chicago Board Options Exchange. He was an active trader in the wheat pit and considered by many to be one of the best traders on the CBOT. He was a member of the Board of Governors of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, CBOT, Chicago Stock Exchange, and the Options Clearing Corp and Securities Investor Protection Corp.
David Goldberg started out as floor clerk on the CBOT and became a trader and member in 1956. He started a firm with his brother called Goldberg Brothers in 1969 and later sold that firm to LIT America in 1988. He started Burling Bank, Goldberg Brother Commodities, Inc., Goldberg Bros. Trading Inc. and Goldberg Securities, Inc.
Goldberg was a mentor to many on the floor and was considered to be a prudent trader who taught others about discipline and reducing trading risk. He was considered a "scalper" trader, taking profits on commodities and closing out his position everyday instead of trying to predict large price moves. His brokerage house was considered to be a "pocket of conservative in a world of risk".
