I've always known that I wanted to be an entrepreneur - it's in my blood. So, after college, when I had the opportunity to partner up with a buddy and start my first business, I took it.

This led me to my current company, which I started by accident. I was always looking for opportunities to grow my business. So, when I heard about espresso machines from a guy at Java Joe's, I decided to give it a shot. I started selling machines to coffee shops and eventually landed a deal with Brinker International to provide machines for all of their restaurants. This was huge.

About Joel:

Joel Klein is an award-winning stock portfolio manager who has earned a career equity track record of 48% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) (May 2003 - March 2020).

Mr. Klein has three decades of experience in business and two decades of experience as a professional money manager. From 1999, he was managing money professionally using his interpretation of William O’Neil’s CAN SLIM® methodology. Early in his career, Mr. Klein benefited from direct, personal access to Mr. O’Neil and was able to learn this investment method at a level that few others had. Mr. Klein has identified and bought many leading stocks before they began major uptrends: Apple, Google, Netflix, Green Mountain Coffee, Blackberry, Intuitive Surgical, Baidu, Alibaba, Facebook, LinkedIn, Tesla, Nvidia, and First Solar, among many others.

Mr. Klein has made original stock market and economic research one of the core themes of his career, dedicating thousands of hours to research. He believes that this has become a unique competitive edge that continues to expand with ongoing research. He has developed and refined every aspect of his original methodology, which has resulted in numerous refinements to the FIZYX investment process, which is known as Exponential Pattern Recognition or XPR.

From 2007 until 2013, Mr. Klein authored the “Klein Market Summary,” (KMS) which was a weekly commentary on market trends and leading stocks.

From July 2019 to September 2020, Mr. Klein authored "The FIZYX Forecast", a weekly synopsis of the trend of the U.S. stock markets
