Part 1: VladStocks: Former 7-Eleven CEO Jim Keyes Breaks Down His Stock Investing Strategy
--------
Vlad sits down with Jay Katz to break down how he turned a $4,000 prison stock account into six figures by reading market trends, betting on early internet and telecom leaders, and building “mastermind” groups with other inmates. Katz reflects on the dot-com boom, Y2K fears, and his strategy of investing in top competitors across emerging industries, including PayPal, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Lucent Technologies, Motorola, Nokia and Sony Ericsson. He also explains why Elon Musk caught his attention early and how 9/11 reshaped his portfolio while he was incarcerated. From Wall Street’s shutdown after the September 11 attacks to investments tied to GPS cell phones, Persian Gulf military needs, anthrax protection and Meridian Medical Technologies, Katz details the pattern-spotting approach he calls “social arbitrage” — part instinct, part research, and part timing.
