Investing Style: "I pick my trades depending on the risk level that I want to take on. When I am looking for a low risk, low reward trade, I place option spreads on various stocks; however, when I am looking for higher reward plays, I day trade futures when I see opportunity present itself."
Favorite Book: "A few years ago I was recommended the book, Think and Grow Rich, which I fell in love with immediately. I believe attitude means everything when it comes to trading, which is why I value the book so much. I read it at the turn of every year to make sure my attitude stays in check when I trade."
Role Models: "There are two people who inspire me on a daily basis. The first is Cornelius Vanderbilt, who took his small savings, and through dedication and hard work, turned it into one of the largest fortunes in the world. The other is Richard Branson, who hit the ground running with his 400+ businesses, and has fun every moment of it, which is the most important part of any investment."
Major Accomplishment: "Since I was young I have pictured myself owning and operating a successful business. During my high school years, I set out to make this a reality. Over the four years, I started and managed 3 successful businesses, all helped contribute to my exposure to trading."
Future Plans: "I plan to make a future in the world of finance, both in business and investing. In the process, I plan to attain a PhD in Physics and major in business. Using both for general knowledge and a backup plan, which I value greatly."
