Makes more sense to hire a 20 yr old steeped in the markets since an early age than most of these MBA or Ivy League types who have less practical experience. Unless of course you are hiring them to bring in revenue through networking and don't really need performance once the funds are parked. Milk the cow does drive the money management industry.
What practical experience? He was a papertrader using some sort of value based fundamental analysis and running a blog website. FYI, while I don't know the exact date he started, but it mentions the last half-year. Well, the peak in July was $0.39 and its currently at $0.28. Neither youth nor age is a virtue in trading. Only experience and emotional fortitude.
