A 22-year-old businessman from Pakistan, Shehryar Skaukat has invested in a Chinese manufacturing company. This also made him appear in a few Chinese magazines too. He was born in Islamabad in 1995 but grew up in Singapore. Due to a VISA delay by Canada for his studies, Shehryar didn’t sit quietly but started to fiddle around the internet. He started to spend his time as a freelancer working for a few sites and eventually became a web developer. The money he earned along with his savings were invested in the stock market which turned about a boon for Shehryar since he made quite a lot of money with smart and timely investments.

This did not stop since Shehryar got his eyes on Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin investment began.

• Justin Brosseau

The 25-year-old Justin Brosseau is a veteran in the investment category. Even with emotional judgement to hold on to investment even though it is dipping the bottom of the table, Justin knows to take the risk. His 2015 year was the most volatile, even though he came out with profits. He’s a smart investor since college and owns 4 stocks. A diversified investment always pays off in one way or another and Justin knew it very well.

To consider his big buys, Disney (DIS), Apple (AAPL) and Netflix (NFLX) in the same year, he did make more investment with other companies too but, didn’t fare well. There is always win some and lose some situation. Justin said ‘I learned that overtrading will crush you, it was important for me to step back’. The main reason for this valuable lesson is due trading 150 times in the same month with some 30-second trades.

A moral victory rather than gaining money is how we could define Ryan Cutter. The young investor is a student at the University of Indiana who had invested in Kinder Morgan, energy infrastructure company had a loss due to oil tanking prices most of the time. Loss of Kinder Morgan was close to 30%. However, Ryan stated ‘It was the year I learned the most, being in the green – I consider that a moral victory, which made me start with the moral victory definition of this young investor.

The main reason for Ryan to be on the green was, he bought shares of giants like Chevron (CVX) and Disney (DIS), the big gains on his purchases put him in the positive side from the negative side. He expanded his portfolio with overseas investment since the stocks in the country is not doing so well. This was a wise decision made by Ryan to diversify beyond borders since it is not illegal to do so.

The guy who loves to invest is how I can define Brandon Fleisher. With tripling his investment in just 2 years, Brandon has a keen eye for investing smartly. He runs Financial Bulls to help amateur investors to learn about the markets for free. The CEO’s would pick his call to answer his questions since all his questions were legitimate and precise. The questions he posed were fairly insightful and intelligent said Alan Sheinwald, Inuvo’s investor relations counsel.

Brandon didn’t for stocks like Apple (AAPL) Starbucks (SBUX) or GE (GEIMX), instead, he went for a native Avalon Rare Metals (AVL). Their stock was all-time high that spring. Brandon doesn’t choose big brands as such but always goes for small-cap stocks which he sells within a year max. He provides investment tips like Investing 101 guide which helps amateurs to make those smart investments. His main goal is to encourage people to invest and get different ideas from young minds which show a different perspective on things.
