What I am about to share with you, is a very unusual story.
Unusual... because it is about 2 "geeks", named Michael and Carl. Who developed the first commercially available stock picking "robot". Michael (the programmer) named the robot "Marl".
Above: Carl and Michael Programming "Marl"
Marl came about after Michael developed the famous "Global Alpha" computer stock trading model, while contracted to Goldman Sachs.
A piece of software which most years is responsible for...
$4,000,000,000+ Annual Trading Profit
With this software project completed, Michael looked for a new way to line his pockets. Unfortunately he had signed a Non Compete and NDA agreement with Goldman Sachs, forbidding him to create software which trades derivatives and similar financial instruments (like Global Alpha).
After 3 weeks of being temporarily unemployed, Michael who was very wealthy and very bored... Decided to start a new project.
You' see Goldman Sachs and most other large investment funds are at a major disadvantage. They often manage portfolios of up to $10,000,000,000 (ten billion dollars) - and because of this when they invest in stocks their scope is limited to just a few of the worlds largest firms (Coca-Cola, Google).
This problem is widespread amongst fund managers whom manage large amounts of capital. In fact Warren Buffet (Whom manages $53 billion) has the exact same problem.
Michael knew he could take advantage of this. By developing software which can run on any home computer, and manage funds between $100 and $500,000.
With managing such a small comparative amount, Michael's software could yield much higher returns. In fact it is designed to trade in the volatile penny stock market where stocks can increase 400% in a matter of minutes.
