Yes, I know, I need to get out more, I’m starting to turn into an Arrington & nobody really seems to like him (not that I really give a sh%^ what people thin k about me). Anyway, tonight’s NYC Investor’s Business Daily Meetup is gonna make me do just that. You can see all the details HERE and if you wanna go, you gotta RSVP through that website cuz it’s gonna be sold out. This is the agenda:
NEW YORK IBD MEETUP GROUP
Wednesday, July 23, 2007
Meeting Location: Microsoft Office
1290 Avenue of the Americas (bet. 51st- 52nd Streets) – 6th Floor
6:30 PM: Gathering 1/2 hour for socializing, chatting, etc.
6:55 PM: Welcome & Announcements Ilona Ross
7:00- 9:00 Gil Morales
If you’re in the area, I suggest you attend the event with me, not because you’ll meet a lot of great people and investors with superior market knowledge–screw that, most people there are gonna be just as poor, confused and distrusting as you–but because the speaker, Gil Morales, from 7-9pm is impressive. He worked with/studied under/wrote a book on short selling (see the decent book HERE) with the man William ‘CANSLIM’ O’Neill and check out his official bio:
Mr. Morales began his investment career in 1991 as a stockbroker in the Beverly Hills branch of Merrill Lynch. In 1994 he joined PaineWebber, Inc. where he quickly achieved Chairman’s Club status as a top producer. In 1997, William O’Neil personally recruited Mr. Morales to join William O’Neil + Company, Inc. where he spent the next eight years as a Vice-President, internal Portfolio Manager responsible for managing a portion of the firm’s proprietary assets, and Manager of the O’Neil Institutional Services group responsible for advising over 500 of the largest and most successful institutional investors in the world, including mutual fund, pension fund, and hedge fund clients. Mr. Morales also co-authored with William J. O’Neil a book on short-selling, “How to Make Money Selling Stocks Short,” published by John Wiley & Sons in 2004.
In the period from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2005, Mr. Morales achieved in his personal account a total return of 10,904.25% as audited by Rothstein Kass & Company, a hedge fund auditing firm. Applying a standard hedge fund 2%/20% fee structure to this return would yield a pro forma return of 5,572.04%, net of fees. Mr. Morales received his B.A. in economics from Stanford University.
