Jon Najarian Biography

Jon Najarian was a linebacker for the Chicago Bears before he turned to another kind of contact sport -- trading on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). He became a member of CBOE, the New York Stock Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and The Chicago Board of Trade and worked as a floor trader for 25 years.

In 1990, Najarian founded Mercury Trading, a market-making firm at the CBOE, which he sold in 2004 to Citadel, one of the world’s largest hedge funds. In 2005, Najarian co-founded optionMONSTER and tradeMONSTER. He partnered with private equity firm General Atlantic Partners in 2014 and they sold the firm to E*Trade for $750 million in September of 2016.

Today, he is a professional investor, money manager and media analyst. Najarian and brother Pete invest in and work with start-ups via Rebellion Partners, a venture consulting firm they launched in 2015. In 2016, the sibilings co-founded Market Rebellion, a company focused on educating the individual investor.

Najarian has earned a reputation in the industry as an options trading expert and pioneer. He developed and patented trading applications and algorithms used to identify unusual activity in stock, options, and futures markets. optionMONSTER, the options news and education site he co-founded, was described by Securities Industry News as “content king of the options business.” For years, tradeMONSTER was consistently rated Best for Options Traders by Barron’s and was the first online broker to deploy streaming, desktop-like trading in a web browser.

Formerly, Najarian was a 16-year contributor to a variety of CNBC programs including "Worldwide Exchange," "The Halftime Report," "Fast Money," and "Power Lunch." Today, Najarian can be seen on Fox Business and Market Rebellion’s exclusive, regularly scheduled shows on Market Rebellion TV.
