Dubbed the “King of Quants” by Forbes magazine, Louis Navellier has been analyzing the stock market using computer-based systems since the 1970s.
He got his start in college after writing an algorithm that – over a period of time – went on to beat the S&P 500 by a factor of nearly 3-to-1…
And hasn’t looked back since.
Using quant-based systems he personally derived, Louis is famous for finding many of today’s household-name companies when they were trading for peanuts…
Like Home Depot when it was trading for 73 cents per share… Microsoft at 38 cents… Nike at 39 cents… and Intel when it was just above $3.
As you can imagine, early calls like these led to extraordinary returns for Louis’ followers.
What’s more, over a 15-year period his investment fund turned every dollar into $41—a 4,000% return that bested even Warren Buffett.
Even though he’s considered by many as one of the greatest investment minds of our time, Louis shuns the spotlight…
Flying under Wall Street’s radar finding 500% winners, again and again with incredible precision.
Despite managing to stay out of the mainstream, the financial media has picked up on Louis’ success over the years…
He’s been called “one of the most important money managers of our time.”
CNBC called him “The Earnings Whisperer.”
The New York Times said he was “An icon among growth investors.”
And MarketWatch called Louis “the adviser who recommended Google before anyone else.”
Today, Louis is a multimillionaire with a home on the South Florida coast, a second home in Reno and a fleet of luxury vehicles.
With the kind of success he’s had, most analysts would hang up their hats and call it a career…
But not Louis.
In many ways, he’s “just getting started…”
Year after year, Louis has continued to “push the envelope” developing newer and more powerful trading technologies to help him find many of the highest-growth stocks on the market.
Before Cody Shirk started down the lucrative investing path, he heard the spiel we all get constantly…
“Get a steady job, save up, invest cautiously, and you’ll be set for life.”
He heard these pitches over and over when he was a professional firefighter at a Class 1 department in Los Angeles. Financial experts would stop by the fire station and explain all the creative ways the firefighters could stretch their paychecks.
These same experts, who knew so much about investing, would spend their entire day driving from fire station to fire station to share their message.
Cody remembers thinking to himself, “If these experts know so much, why are they driving around all day talking to firefighters instead of sitting on some tropical island counting their money?”
We all know the answer to that question. The vast majority of financial experts are just repeating a message they have been told. They haven’t actually gone out into the world to figure things out for themselves.
That’s totally understandable. Going out into the wild is terrifying. Sticking to a secure job that provides a steady paycheck is much, much safer.
But Cody wanted more than that. He wanted life-changing returns. Cody wanted to make investments that would completely transform the way he lived…
And that’s exactly what he did.
In his early 20s, Cody was a collegiate athlete and then a professional firefighter. As a firefighter, he was trained as a hazardous materials specialist and arson investigator, and then was detailed to an advanced life support Type 1 fire engine.
While he was still a firefighter, he traveled on his days off to learn within the United States and abroad to learn the best investment strategies, some of which he still uses today.
Since then, Cody has traveled to over 75 countries and executed investment transactions in Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America. Along the way, he has learned many lessons firsthand (many of those lessons being particularly expensive and painful!).
After getting an investing education from the school of hard knocks, he launched Explorer Equity Group, which targeted global emerging trends. At EEG, he raised and deployed millions of dollars across industries such as biotech, real estate, transportation, construction tech, and more.
Cody has been a speaker at investing events in China, Germany, Italy, Peru, the United Kingdom, Panama, Colombia, Canada, Chile, and Mexico, and in many major cities throughout the United States. These experiences have created a vast network of contacts throughout the world that he still keeps in touch with today.
Through this massive network of entrepreneurs and investors, Cody has gained access to a massive network of entrepreneurs and investors.
Currently living full time in Florida, Cody now almost exclusively focuses on U.S.-based investment opportunities. His experience with international investments has shown him directly how incredible American entrepreneurs are.
In addition to investing, Cody has also founded several of his own that have gone to get acquired.
When not investing or building companies, he can often be found spending time with his son and daughter, often at the beach.
