Wohl of Wall Street: high school hedge fund manager

This "news story" had more holes than Swiss cheese.
His fellow students and gym teacher are investors? None of them are accredited how can they invest in a hedge fund?
His returns are 22% over what time period?
Is he even beating the S&P?

I think maybe his mom works at that station and got that fluff piece on air.

The Wohl fund is toast the minute we have our first legitimate correction. Book it.

His action scenes of phoning in the orders were particularly enthralling.

He should have used a massive phone while at the beach.

I just had a look on his strategies. This guy is a genius! He uses highly leveraged options to quickly get "in-n-out" on long positions of undervalued companies that he buys while they're cheap and holds long time to produce incredible profits...
WOW why didn't I think of that before?

Going Long on Undervalued Companies
Much like Warren Buffett, Wohl Capital Investment Group identifies companies that we determine to be under-valued, and buy them while they're cheap. Over time, this produces incredible profits.

Playing the options
We realize the incredible power of options to hedge risks and maximize returns. That is why we utilize many strategies that have options at their core.

Using Leverage
Leverage is key to maximizing returns. We didn't reinvent the wheel with this; it's just a tried and true strategy that works again and again.

IN-N-OUT Technical Trading
By spotting trends in companies through technical analysis, we are able to get in and out of positions quick while taking profits along the way. This is where the talent and skill of trading truly comes into play.

Investing, or Trading, is not difficult...it's just a matter of seeing a light bulb go off in your head -- like this young guy.

22.8% YTD ...he's most likely buying outright calls or put options on stocks/companies that he see's as undervalued/overvalued and/or chart trend following. ride that wave, and get out if it turns ugly/against you. -- it's not rocket science

Local news channel makes him sound like a bsd.

This whole experiment will end badly and lots of people will lose money. But he will get valuable experience and given his entrepreneurialism and drive he will do well in life.
