Dallas,
Texas, February 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE --
NaturalShrimp, Inc., (OTCQB:SHMP), an aquaculture Company which has
developed and patented the first commercially operational
Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) for shrimp, announced today
that it has appointed Peter Najarian to its advisory
board.
“We
could not be more pleased to have Pete join our advisory board at
such a pivotal time in the company’s history,” said
Gerald Easterling, CEO of NaturalShrimp. “Pete is arguably
one of the most seasoned capital market and entrepreneurial thought
leaders in the country. As we continue preparing to launch both our
La Coste and NaturalShrimp Iowa locations, we look forward to
having access to Pete’s input on strategy. Furthermore, we
are in the process of appointing additional industry leaders to our
advisory board who will provide further valuable insights as we
exponentially grow our business,” added
Easterling.
“Having
Pete join our advisory board allows NaturalShrimp the opportunity
to utilize one of the most well-known and respected business
figures in finance,” said William Delgado, CFO of
NaturalShrimp. “We will look for Pete’s insights to
future macro-economic trends that may impact our business as we
begin our expansion in 2021. The company also looks forward to the
guidance Pete will provide as we aspire to become an important
fixture within the consumer staples segment of the market,”
added Delgado.
“I am excited to join NaturalShrimp as they continue to
successfully expand their presence within the seafood
industry,” said Pete Najarian. “I am confident that I
can provide NaturalShrimp with guidance that will further the
company’s objective to operate ecologically
controlled, fully contained independent production facilities for
the purpose of raising Pacific white shrimp,” added
Najarian.
Pete Najarian, the “Pit Boss,” was ranked one of the
top 100 traders by Trader Monthly magazine and in 2005 co-founded,
together with his brother Jon “DRJ” Najarian, the
options news and education firm optionMONSTER, and leading online
brokerage firm tradeMONSTER. Both were acquired in 2014 by private
equity firm General Atlantic Partners and they sold the firm to
E*Trade for $750 million in September of 2016. Following a football
career that included several seasons with the NFL’s Tampa Bay
Buccaneers and Minnesota Vikings, Pete took up options trading in
1992 joining his brother Jon at Mercury Trading, a market-making
firm at the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). Two years later,
he assumed responsibility for Mercury’s risk and arbitrage
and later led its entry onto the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). He
also led Mercury’s joint venture with M.J. Meehan, the
third-largest specialist firm on the NYSE. From 2000 to 2004,
Najarian served as president of Mercury, and helped execute its
sale to Citadel, one of the world’s largest hedge funds.
Before starting optionMONSTER, he has been a founding member of One
Chicago, an electronic exchange committed to becoming the global
leader in futures on individual stocks, narrow-based indexes, and
ETFs. He is also the Co-Founder of Hedgehog stock, options, and
futures trading platform and together with brother Jon,
co-developed the Heat Seeker™ and complementary programs
identifying unusual buying activity in stocks, options, and
futures. The brothers also invest in and work with start-ups via
Rebellion Partners, a venture consulting firm they launched in
2015. Pete is one of the “Fast Money Five” on
CNBC’s “Fast Money” as well as a cast member of
CNBC’s “Halftime Report.” He also contributes to
CBOE-TV, the exchange’s popular webcast. Pete graduated from
the University of Minnesota with a degree in
physiology.
