I'm a veteran stock trader who early in my career turned an $11,000 account into 7 figures. Forbes noticed my trading record and had me write a column for them. I grew up as a middle-class kid in a small suburban town in New York and had to work my way through engineering school in order to pay my tuition. With an intense focus on analyzing every single one of my trades over many years, I made a key discovery.  I realized that by far the bulk of my profits come from only a very few certain type of stocks. In fact, it was a small subset of newly public stocks. A slice of companies with explosive upside potential.
