t age 6, with a born affinity for finance, Julian Marchese went door to door, try- ing to sell a rock. Fast forward a few years and you may have seen Julian’s televised
financial debut on Dragon's Den, a TV show where top entrepreneurs (Dragons) review product ideas/new business ventures for investment. Julian, now 15, 'slayed' 4/5 dragons, with an automated trading system he wrote and developed! As a rock-selling 6 year old, Julian wondered
"what did the richest people in the world make their money from?" He learned, through self- study, that most profits were made from the stock market. He notes "Bill Gates made most of his net worth from the rise of Microsoft's stock." At eight years old, Julian began his research on investing. This led to his next thought. He won- dered if there was a faster way to profit from the daily fluctuations in the price of stocks, so at age eleven, he shifted focus to trading. "Learning about speculating allowed me to

Rosanne believes in challenging herself and others "in order to have better quality of life in years to come." She wisely adds, "I believe that everyone

ing strategy that performed better than the stock market over the last 4 years. "I realized I would need funding in order to properly take advan- tage of my algorithm." A Dragon's Den audition opened the doors
of opportunity to a future he aspires to as a hedge fund manager. "I thought why not make money for myself and for others at the same time? So I began researching the great hedge fund manag- ers of the last 30 years, with Paul Tudor Jones being a major influence on my trading style." With each success, Julian is more successful in realizing his limitless potential.
