Brad Rundbaken
Brad Rundbaken attended the College of Charleston on a soccer and academic scholarship where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree, with a major in Business Administration, and minors in Economics and Intermodal Transportation.
Mr. Rundbaken is a Principal with Diversified Resource Group, LLC, a California corporation with headquarters in Sacramento, CA. He is the Founder of Charleston Market Report, LLC, a former appraiser, and a Real Estate Agent with ERA Tides Realty.
Since graduating from college Rundbaken has been fascinated with the macro and microeconomic influences of supply and demand on the economy, real estate market, and the stock market. During his investment career with Raymond James Financial Services and Wachovia Securities Private Client Group, he realized that too much emphasis was placed on investing by only using a company’s earnings, which sometimes were based on unrealistic and inaccurate data. In response, he became very interested in how to implement the irrefutable law of supply and demand to provide a customized tactical allocation strategy for his clients’ portfolios and retirement plans. During his career as a Financial Consultant he spent years studying and using a unique money management style of investing focused on risk management called Point and Figure Technical Analysis. He has completed the Dorsey Wright & Associates Broker Institute and the Advanced Broker Institute which specializes in the applications of Point & Figure Technical Analysis.
Rundbaken lectures at the Citadel MBA Program and the College of Charleston Carter Real Estate Center. As a real estate and investment speaker, Brad has a dynamic presentation that demonstrates the power of using trend analysis for risk management and forecasting in today's volatile markets.
Mr. Rundbaken’s work with Diversified Resource Group and Charleston Market Report, LLC consists of pension fund consulting, customized market analysis studies, market research, and analysis on private equity, investments and real estate for institutions.
