Mark Hibben is an electrical engineer and independent iOS developer who actively contributes on Seeking Alpha offering insights from his tech background.
In this interview, we dive deeper into a few of his recent articles on Apple and Tesla.
Ralph Baker is known on Seeking Alpha as "Shock Exchange," a name he derives from his youth mentorship program that teaches investment management skills and competitive basketball skills.
Ralph started learning to invest in the 5th grade when his dad gave him a copy of the WSJ and started quizzing him on it. Since then, he has spent decades in the M&A space. When it came time to teach his kids about investing, he decided to include the community and his youth program was born.
If Ralph can teach kids to invest (who went on to predict the Great Recession), I'm convinced he can teach us as well.

So, I'm looking for around 15 people who want to take it seriously with me.
If you want to be one of those 15 fill out this application (no cost) and I will get back to you soon.
