About me- Jayesh Patel
Homepage of Jayesh Patel and you probably don't know anyhing about
Jayesh Patel, right?
Do you really care to know about me? Frankly I don't know who I am.
Serious.
I can tell you what I like to do or how do I look on this connected
world of the Internet. Internet is sort of a perfect thing for a person
like me who is at times inward going and has limited topics to talk
to most of you. If it does not have enough ROI, I probably don't like
to talk.
If I can not do something about something, I like not to talk about
it or waste my braincells or mind on it. You would be surprised to see
how well I am with stock prices, math and other numbers but when it
comes to typical weather/temperature numbers in LA or any part of my
world, I am too bad!!!
Now a days, I have extended my brain mega times! I hate to store any
info (unless ROI is really good) in my brain cells! Instead I use my
extended brain by googling it on my Moto Q or on my computer. When some
info is few clicks away, I don't want to store it in my brains. I never
thought I would write a book but I did and my readers love it. It is
a book on stock market trading.
Google "Jayesh Patel CFA" and it should bring you to my home page or
my www.profitfromprices.com website. I never thought I would get into
teaching but that is what I ended up doing after my college in India.
I never imagined that I would work for a company!!! But unfortunately
I decided to leave India after a very extended bear market in Indian
stocks and now I am in same boring job for last many many years.
Got bored? I told you it is no fun to know about me. If you are still
not bored and care to know about me, go ahead. You are warned LOL.
I am going to tell you about "Jayesh Patel" more for being
better able to connect with you than doing PR for myself.
Was born in Langhnaj, a village in Mehsana district of Gujarat. Father
was Principal in a school in Ahmedabad, India where I studied from Grade
1 to Grade 10 (Well, it has its benefits and costs too if you are studying
in a school where daddy is Principal). Greatly influenced by my father,
Ramanbhai Somnath Patel who passed away in 1996. I still miss him and
remember him usually every day when I close my eyes in front of God
while offering my morning prayer.
Then studied in AG Higher Secondary and then was in L D College of
Engineering in Ahmedabad. I think I studied seriously only in 2 grades
- 10th and 12 when we had Gujarat state wide Board examinations. Had
worked so hard in 12th, I had sort of decided to enjoy my engineering
school. Watch more movies than attended classes in first few semesters
LOL. Then Gujarati bug stuck me. Was looking to earn while I was studying
so got hooked up to stock market. Was the first in family to own stock.
Enjoyed school years thoroughly- most of my school friends did not like
to call Jayesh so I was a Jaylo for them LOL. Played street cricket
a lot and enjoyed kite flying tremendously. Being a Gujarati, most fun
was naturally in catching kites than flying.
This is turning into an autobiography of Jayesh Patel and I would hate
to waste your time... so let me cut it short.
Was influenced by Internet in 1999 after leaving hectic stock broking
environment of NSE in Ahmedabad and migrating to a tech job (big downgrade
as such in work satisfaction). Wanted to create my website and so this
website- homepage of Jayesh Patel- was born for fun first. Then as a
means to gather things I like in one place. Then as it happens with
most other things in life, I was losing interest in home page of "Jayesh
Patel", maybe because the payoffs in terms of satisfaction was
going down. Then Google came on horizon with Ad-sense! As a Gujarati,
I sensed that Ad-sense Google did make sense to justify my website!
So it got a new birth. So far, here are the places where I have my marks
on the Internet:
- Homepage of Jayesh
Patel- this website of course.
- Also wanted to create an Internet face of the company that I had
founded in India- Investmentor
Securities Ltd so created a few pages for it too. That was my
second website on the Internet. (it is currently managed by actual
employees at http://www.investmentoronline.com/
- Stock trading book
written by Jayesh Patel, CFA (me, silly) at http://www.profitfromprices.com/
- Somehow wanted to be on the top of Google,
MSN and Yahoo
if someone searched for "Best
stock trading book" so as a part of it, acquired http://www.beststocktradingbook.com/
(I did make it to TOP 10 for all these 3 search engines)
- My brother is very much in to Gujarati Kavita
so he and I created Kavilok
website at http://www.kavilok.com/
- I used to post stock trading ideas on my- Jayesh
Patel's- TradingIdeas
MSN group website. It is not being used actively but you can see it
by clicking here.
- After websites, groups came blogs so I have few blogs too: For stocktrading
tips, you can see my posts at http://profitfromprices.blogspot.com/.
(I have few more- inactive ones- can't remember right now but will
add here when I find them.)
- Was reading a book (sorry forgot the author name but he was Subway's
founder and unfortunately can't remember book's name either) at my
sister's place. Have read just 10 pages so far but author's message
stuck me- "start small" so was looking for an idea to do
something new. The result is http://www.onlinepassportphoto.com-
a service to help people save money in passport
photos and also help them get best of their faces on their passports.
Will this idea work? God knows but I am trying anyway.
- Here is the latest website. My wife and I love to look for deals
in the USA. One morning I decided to share this fun stuff with the
world, so I challenged myself to give US $100000 to everyone in the
US. Click here to claim your $ 100000foryou.com
(You may get annoyed by repeated use of "Jayesh Patel" on
this page. Sorry for that. I am trying to be top on the Google/MSN/Yahoo
again in someone tries to search for "Jayesh Patel")
