Founded in 1993 by George Fontanills, Optionetics established itself as a leading provider of investment education for retail traders. The company focused on demystifying options trading through seminars, online courses, books, newsletters, and proprietary software. Its mission was to empower individual investors with the knowledge and strategies typically used by professional traders. In 2009, Optionetics was acquired by the brokerage firm optionsXpress, which was later acquired by Charles Schwab in 2011. The Optionetics brand and its educational philosophy have since been absorbed and integrated into the broader educational ecosystem of Charles Schwab and its subsidiary, TD Ameritrade (now part of Schwab).
