NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- EQUITIES Magazine proudly announces its Winter Discovery Day Conference, to be held at the Princeton Club of New York on Friday, December 7, 2007. At this exciting event, emerging companies from a wide range of sectors will present to an audience of brokers, hedge fund managers, portfolio managers and sophisticated private investors.
The keynote speaker will be Timothy Sykes, a young man who truly personifies the American entrepreneurial spirit. While still in college, Sykes invested $12,415 of Bar Mitzvah gift money and turned it into $1.65 million. With the proceeds, he started his own hedge fund, Cilantro Fund Management, which was Barclays' No. 1 short-bias hedge fund from 2003 to 2006. Sykes is a regular CNBC commentator and has been featured on CNN, FOX News, MSN Money, and CBS Marketwatch, and in Businessweek, Institutional Investor, The New York Times, and the LA Times.
EQUITIES' worldwide sponsor, Online Trading Academy (the world's largest trading school), will showcase its advanced trading technology at the event. EQUITIES was recently named one of only 25 magazines viewable on the Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL) iPhone's magazine portal, and there will be an iPhone giveaway at the cocktail reception following the conference.
