"I graduated from Cal. State University at San Jose in Industrial Engineering and the University of Massachusetts in Amherst with an MS in Industrial Engineering. I have retired from a job in IT. Since then, I have read hundreds of books on investing and run thousands of simulations on investing strategies. I have been an investor for over 30 years and have written over 30 books on investing. I have written a few articles on investing for SeekingAlpha.com. ""Complete the art of investing is my best work and it received a five-star rating from all reviewers as of 6/2020"". The Kindle version has about 850 pages. Here are my accomplishments in investing: - I made 50% in 2018 by using my year-end strategy. I challenge any investor with this monthly return in a diversified portfolio of 8 stocks or more. - I recommended 20 stocks in an article Amazing Return in Seeking Alpha. If you bought them on the published date, in a year you would have beaten the S&P index by over 100% without considering dividends."
