Acknowledgments
L et me begin by acknowledging the Almighty for the blessings
and wonderful provisions showered upon me throughout my
life. My career progression to wealth management has been no
exception, for it has been a wonderful ride.
Words fail to express the tremendous gratitude I owe Nick Wallwork
at John Wiley, one of the most experienced English language finance/
business publishers in the world. My articles at Seeking Alpha, a premier
website for actionable stock market opinion, analysis, and discus-
sion caught Nick’s attention and he sowed the seeds for this book of
strategies individual investors can implement to create alpha on their
own. His insight and vision deserves credit for this maiden effort. On
a related note, I salute Seeking Alpha for developing an ecosystem for
investment researchers to network and develop ideas.
I have also drawn inspiration from several individuals who success-
fully migrated from other fields into investment management. Among
them are Dr. Michael Burry, founder of Scion Capital, LLC hedge fund;
Asif Suria, founder of Insider Trade Reports; Mazin Jadallah, founder
of AlphaClone LLC; James Altucher, managing director of Formula
Capital Hedge Fund; Mohnish Pabrai, founder of Pabrai Investment

Fund; Francis Chou, president of Chou Associates Management,
Inc.; and several contributors at Seeking Alpha. Their intrepid sense
of going all out in fulfilling their passion immensely helped my own
transformation.
I extend my sincere thanks to the hedge fund managers profiled
herein for explaining their operating styles through the media over the
years. That was my primary source of information for the profiles in
this book.
I recognize fully the efforts of Gemma Rosey, development editor; Jules
Yap, editorial executive; Stefan Skeen, senior production editor; Barbara
Hanson, copy editor; and the entire Wiley team for their unwavering
support throughout the development of this book.
My partner in crime and beloved wife, Shara, has been the guiding
and motivating force behind me, giving encouragement at times of dif-
ficulty and setbacks. Her critical suggestions, patient understanding, and
realistic expectations helped me to comprehend the bigger picture. Her
passion and enthusiasm to follow a new path, along with her pleasant
disposition, fascinates me. She put in a tremendous effort to edit the
initial drafts of the manuscript.
While we were writing this book, our two wonderful daughters
Ann Gina Konnayil and Becka Jill Konnayil held up really well in a
brand new environment, despite the fact that their parents were working
with a very tight schedule. For that, they deserve our special mention
and admiration.
I am blessed with a lot of well-wishers, friends, and family mem-
bers. I thank all of them for being there.
