Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy · Ramtin Naimi - Building Abstract - [Invest Like the Best, EP.435] · 29 Jul 2025 podcast

I would go to the local gym and get the roided out meatheads.

I'd give them 50 bucks for the night.

They would block the side doors so nobody snuck in.

I spent so much money on the first party that my parents were worried that I was going to lose all my savings that I had saved up to throw that one event.

And the funny joke was I had a pencil box to collect all the cash.

And then within about 10 minutes of the party, there was too much cash.

I couldn't close the pencil box anymore.

So I ran to the bathroom and I took out like a garbage bag and I just started stuffing it with cash.

And then that became like a business that ran for like the next couple of years until it didn't really make sense to host parties.

So how much money would you make on a party or in summer?

I would net like 2000 bucks a weekend.

Then I would do like two to three parties per month.

It wasn't until my senior year of high school that I actually made money trading.

I got very fortunate through a combination of lucking out with volatility and not understanding risk management.

where I was trading out of the money call options and put options against triple levered ETFs that track the banking sector during the financial crisis.

An ETF that would swing, you know, anywhere between 10 to 30% on a daily basis, given what the Federal Reserve was doing on TARP or no TARP or Lehman getting bankrupt or Bear Stearns getting acquired by JPM.

And I had made a few hundred thousand bucks trading over a few short week windows on derivatives against those instruments.

And that was like a good thing and a bad thing for me.

The good thing was that it gave me a ton of confidence in myself and I convinced myself that I was a genius.

And the bad thing was it gave me way too much confidence in myself and convinced me that I was a genius.
