Maj Soueidan

• With some initial capital saved and the book “One Up On Wall Street”, Soueidan began investing while in college between 1988 and 1992. 
• Starting with just $3,000, he quickly turned that initial money into his first $1 million by the age of 27. 
• He stresses the concept of “information arbitrage” in an era where information overload has actually made it more difficult for investors to locate profitable information. 
• He introduced the “China fraud” to Geoinvesting.
• Through his research process, he has identified dozens of U.S. listed China stocks he concluded were frauds.
• He has appeared as a guest on Real Vision.

THE VANGUARD GROUP

• He took a part-time job at The Vanguard Group after graduating college in 1992, working in the evenings.
• He would spend his days performing research, interviewing management teams, and developing an eye for finding unique and undervalued micro-cap stocks.
• He bought his first “multi-bagger” in 1994 and was immediately hooked. 
• At the time, he briefly published his first investment newsletter called “The Market’s Edge."  
• He left Vanguard in 1994 to become a full-time investor.

• Micro-caps appeal to him due to the information arbitrage opportunities they provide.
  
• An arbitrage exists when a disconnect between stock prices and available public information on a company is noticeable and monetarily worth pursuing.
• This strategy has paid dividends for many investors.
• Part of the reason the “Info. Arb.” opportunity exists is because investors often associate micro-cap stocks with pump and dump companies with no revenues and profits.
• "There is no better strategy in the stock market than to look for opportunity where others are not looking."
