Laughing at Wall Street : How I Beat the Pros at Investing (by Reading Tabloids, Shopping at the Mall, and Connecting on Facebook) and How You Can Too

Chris Camillo is not a stockbroker, financial analyst, or hedge fund manager. He is an ordinary person with a knack for identifying trends and discovering great investments hidden in everyday life. In early 2007, he invested $20,000 in the stock market, and in three years it grew to just over $2 million. With "Laughing at Wall Street", you'll see: how Facebook friends helped a young parent invest in the wildly successful children's show, "Chuggington" - and saw her stock values climb 50 per cent; how an everyday trip to 7-Eleven alerted a teenager to short Snapple stock - and tripled his money in seven days; how $1000 invested consecutively in Uggs, True Religion jeans, and Crocs over five years grew to $750,000; and, how Michelle Obama caused J. Crew's stock to soar 186 per cent, and Wall Street only caught up four months later!
