The author is CEO and founder of Auburn AV. He holds degrees in engineering and physics. He is a noob investor that is up 122% (annualized) on his brief, six month foray into trading. Sonic would claim that it is a healthy dose of luck combined with a desire to purchase stock in companies he would consider buying if he could afford them. Mostly luck. Heck he doesn't even know what 10% of the abbreviations that Tyler Durden uses mean. It is fun stuff though.
