How I Managed $20,000,000,000.00 by Age 32 1st edition

Excerpt: What a wild ride it has been. From trading penny stocks in high school stock market competitions after the 1987 Crash , to trading billions of dollars whilst elbowing with the likes of Eric Schmidt (CEO of Google), Jeff Bezos (CEO of Amazon), and John Chambers (CEO of Cisco Systems)... I have seen it all. There is no playbook for managing billions of dollars, starting your own investment firm, and running a hedge fund. My life story has been rather circuitous, taking me everywhere from California to New York and from Australia to China along the way. I even took a nine year pit-stop in America s heartland, where I managed a $20,000,000,000.00 fund at American Century Investments. As a freshly minted MBA grad from Cornell University in 1998, I never expected in my wildest dreams to land on one of the 10 biggest funds in the U. S. America, what a great place to live! My journey eventually sucked me back towards the Pacific Ocean, where I now lead my investment practice in Newport Beach, California. The opening of market trading hours at 6:30 a.m. is not ideal out here on the West Coast, but sleep is overrated I can rest in the afterlife.
