Meet one of the youngest investors today.

Investing Style: "I have two portfolios, one is for long term and conservative investments. The other portfolio is virtual and contains riskier and more aggressive securities. In the aggressive portfolio I usually trade technology stocks and commodities."
Favorite Book: The Little Book That Beats The Market by Joel Greenblatt. It's simple but extremely informative.
Role Model: "I mainly follow David Tepper of Appaloosa Management. He's a billionaire with a middle class mentality."

Future Plans: "After high school I hope to attend an Ivy League school, specifically Harvard University. After college I want to manage my own hedge fund."
