Meet the 17-year-old investor who has interviewed some of the best traders on Wall Street through his podcast and scored an internship at a $673 million money manager while still in high school
His secret is a deep intellectual curiosity, or what Green calls the lost art of"asking hard questions" and"challenging conventional thinking."
Plenty of people form ideas of what they want to do for a living at a young age, but Prakash went about pursuing it when he turned 13. So he did, always using his young age as a selling point when reaching out to big-name Wall Street investors and traders. The strategy worked and eventually led Prakash to talk markets with, the founder of Santiago Capital and the creator of the well-known Dollar Milkshake Theory.
One of his ponderings about"how the monetary system really works" resulted in a tweet that landed him an internship at Simplify Asset Management, where Green serves as chief strategist and portfolio manager. "As a senior market participant, you forget how hard-working and how fast young brains learn and work. Sri is kind of the extreme of that," Green said."I'll send him something to read and it's done instantaneously...he's just a sponge."
