    the numbers are in and I'm officially at 50.4% return for the investments that I've recommended for clients. And I've annualized 27% since I began in 2008. This is great news, I believe only one mutual fund in the country has a higher return over that time period and I remember when people were saying "you're a college student there's no way you can do that kind of stuff without a degree!!"

    Hey guys, I operate a financial planning/consulting firm that's geared toward entrepreneurs and students. We recently decided to do something relatively different than our peers, and open up our Skype handle so that anyone can pop-in and ask random financial or investment questions. While we still charge a small fee for complex (multi-step) questions....simple questions, such as: "what do you think about investing in commodities?", are very welcome. Our Skype handle is: C9Consulting.

About Me

I am a 20 year old entrepreneur who started Cloud 9 Financial Consulting, a financial planning firm that operates fully in the "cloud." My company is geared to serving entrepreneurs and their employees.

I'm a student, double-majoring in Marketing and Finance with a concentration in portfolio management. I want to start an investment arm of my consulting firm and begin to manage money for my past and future clients.

I have a ton of ideas floating in my head, I always listen to music to stop those ideas from floating. I'm very much a kid trapped in an entrepreneurial mind so most of my ideas pertain to making money for everyone, with as little cost as possible.

Thank you for your time.
