Full Bio
Karim began his trading career early… very early. While attending boarding school in England, he recognized the value of the homemade snacks his mom sent to him every semester and sold them for a profit to his fellow classmates who were trying to avoid the horrendous British food.
He then graduated to stocks and options, becoming one of the youngest CFOs of a brokerage and trading firm that cleared through Bear Stearns in the late 1980s. There he learned his trading skills from veterans of the business.
Educated in England, Canada and the United States, Karim's fluent in several languages. His undergraduate studies were completed in economics and foreign languages. His graduate studies resulted in a master's degree in finance. Karim travels the world regularly, seeking out the best investment opportunities.
As co-founder and chief options strategist for the groundbreaking publication Wall Street Daily, Karim turned to LEAPS and put selling strategies to help members capture gains. After that, he honed his strategies for readers of Automatic Trading Millionaire, where he didn't record a single realized loss on 37 recommendations over an 18-month period.
Karim has more than 30 years of experience in options trading and international markets and he is the author of the best-selling book Where in the World Should I Invest? His focus is on "smart" trading — using volatility and proprietary probability modeling, he makes investments where risk and reward are defined ahead of time.
