Majed Soueidan

Majed (Maj) Soueidan received his dual major degrees in 1992 in Finance and Risk Management from Temple University. Maj has been an investor since 1989 (full-time investor since 1994), turning $3,000 into his first million by 1998. He co-founded GeoInvesting in 2007 to bring institutional quality long-based investment research to the average investor and help broaden the awareness of the opportunities that exist in the inefficient micro-cap and small-cap equity universe and U.S Listed China stocks (“ChinaHybrids”).

By combining the tenants of growth + value, GeoInvesting long biased research has produced over 50 stocks that have more than doubled and over 40 stocks that have been acquired.  Maj was also instrumental in developing a strategy to broaden GeoInvesting’s scope to perform and disseminate in-house short thesis research reports on companies across market-cap spectrums. GeoInvesting was among the first players to begin to openly question the financials and overall representations of U.S Listed China stocks to investors. He played a significant role in educating market participants on the risks associated with investing in “ChinaHybrids.”  This has been instrumental in GeoInvesting publishing 17 short thesis Pump & Dump reports with a near 100% success rate and 12 ChinaHybrids being halted and/or delisted.

Bao Nguyen

Bao, more commonly known online as @Modern_Rock (aka THE Trading Fish @mrockrulez), graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Engineering and spent 8 years as a developer during the .COM days in Silicon Valley. However, Bao was more interested in trading stocks than he was programming applications. He became instantly hooked when his very first trade on Silicon Graphics (SGI) made him 30% overnight.

Bao moved to NYC around 2000 during which time he became really focused in day trading and decided to become a full time trader, trading exclusively for himself.

Although Bao currently trades all types of US equity stocks, for many years his expertise was in the area of penny stocks, where he made a name for himself as “Modern_Rock”.

Bao currently lives in Silicon Valley, CA and spends his time traveling and paying it forward, sharing his trading knowledge for free via THE Trading Fish @mrockrulez
