Chris Camillo is not a stockbroker, financial analyst, or hedge fund manager. He is an ordinary person with a knack for identifying trends and discovering great investments hidden in everyday life. In early 2007, he invested $20,000 in the stock market, and in three years it grew to just over $2 million. With Laughing at Wall Street, you'll learn how to find financial success, even in a tough market. You'll see: How Facebook friends helped a young parent invest in the wildly successful children's show, Chuggington - and saw her stock values climb 50% How an everyday trip to 7-Eleven alerted a teenager to short Snapple stock - and tripled his money in seven days How $1000 invested consecutively in Uggs, True Religion jeans, and Crocs over five years grew to $750,000 How Michelle Obama caused J. Crew's stock to soar 186%, and Wall Street only caught up four months later! Engaging, narratively-driven, and without complicated financial analysis, Camillo's stock picking methodology proves that you do not need large sums of money or fancy market data to become a successful investor.

Chris Camillo is one of one of the world's top performing amateur investors. Most recently a market research executive, his jobs over the years have included washing and selling cars, delivering pizza, and folding clothes at The Gap. He lives in Texas with his family.
