    Achievements

    Brought to fruition a 374% rate of return in a span of 9.3 months and maintained such consistency up until my departure all while attending school among juggling other responsibilities, at Williams Street Financial based out of of San Jose, CA.

    While on a vacation from trading, on the beach after much due diligence/contemplation on the beach, I bought into Geron, a Biopharma Co. from Menlo Park, CA while it was still much under the radar & undervalued. After literally sitting in it for approximately 68 days generated an approximate 531% return.

    I skipped a few grades and was able to take my SAT's in 7th grade as a member of CTY/JHU with the 2nd highest score nationally.

    While @UPENN me, my white boards along with much pacing and pondering came up with a new theoretical look at origins of the Multi-verse & first actual Big Bang, a chemical compound much more efficaciously addressing Epilepsy/Severe Anxiety/Dep/Panic Attacks & Bipolar, along with a few other distinctive theories.
