Before I started going ballistic with all my press, there was a younger, more press-hungry microcap stock guy named Chris Lahiji. His claim to fame was reading something like 12,000 annual reports and he also managed to become the youngest mutual fund manager in history! While there was another young microcap guy who also got a ton of attention, Jonathan Lebed, who famously got sued by the SEC for manipulating stocks when he was just a wee little teenager, Lahiji’s fame, like mine, was due to legal financial activities, which, call me crazy, is a little more deserving of respect (even if our society sadly prefers crap like Scarface and Blow to the biographies of the true greats JP Morgan and Bernard Baruch).

Neither Lahiji nor me are fund managers anymore, he now raises capital fro microcaps (through LDMicro.com) while I just short ‘em and Lebed, well, I guess he’s still doing the same thing although his disclaimers make it “legal”. Basically we each represent 3 of the 5 major microcap angles: financier, pumper and short seller, while we’re still looking for the other 2 positions, market maker and sucker investor, to round out our gang. And FYI Lebed’s income blows away me and Lahiji, pumping pays waaaaay better than actual business dealings or teaching/trading, especially in this corrupt lil niche.
Enough of me writing, click the interview below to hear me and Chris babble, it’s fun and interesting, I promise.
