Karim Rahemtulla

Background & Career

• Began trading as a schoolboy at boarding school in England, reselling his mother's homemade snacks to classmates avoiding bad British food.
• Was 17 years old in 1979 during the Iranian Revolution/hostage crisis — missed the resulting gold/silver boom, a formative "won't miss it again" moment.
• One of the youngest CFOs clearing hundreds of millions of dollars through Bear Stearns in the 1980s.
• Claims to have walked away from Wall Street, believing the best opportunities aren't found behind a desk.
• Variously cites 40, 46, and ~35 years of market/trading experience (internally inconsistent across promos).
• Co-founder of The War Room and co-editor of Monument Trend Advisory, both alongside Bryan Bottarelli (CBOE Apple-pit floor trader, 1999–2000).

• Has traded through Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Ukraine wars.

How He's Positioned

• Persona: "The Indiana Jones of Wall Street" — contrarian, boots-on-the-ground field researcher who "sees around corners."
• Signature methods:
  • Cash-secured put selling, rebranded as the "phantom bid" (buying quality stocks below market, collecting premium either way).
  • W.A.R. system: Winning fundamentals, Accelerated technicals, Recent catalyst.
  • Government-catalyst / picks-and-shovels investing — buying overlooked suppliers before policy unlocks institutional capital.
• Core beliefs: markets "price what is, not what will be"; crisis fear inflates options premiums to exploit; gold is "real money"; Big Oil suppressed nuclear for 50 years.
• Recurring themes: uranium/nuclear ("Energy Cube"/SMRs), AI power demand, gold/silver/rare-earth scarcity, Iran-driven volatility, and government policy as the profit trigger.

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.

Phase 5 from MTA transcripts (TPU Unicorn, Iranian Gold Heist LEGALedits, MIC Black CSLegal, TPU Empire draft). Stories first; credentials/conflicts below. Prefer LEGALfinal / LEGALedits / CSLegal over drafts.

1. Boarding-school snack arbitrage — Already in Full Bio; still the core “born trader” open.

   • Quote (Experts Full Bio / Unicorn family): sold mom’s homemade snacks to classmates avoiding “horrendous British food.”
   • Sources: Experts Full Bio; TPU Unicorn LEGAL provisional; FinPub Intel block above.

2. Father’s rule: never pay full price — Formative value → Phantom Bid / put-sell philosophy.

   • Quote: “Never Pay Full Price. For Anything” / “My father wasn't a rich man. But he taught me the value of a dollar and how to name my own price on assets.”
   • Source: Promo Copy - Iranian Gold Heist FINAL (evergreen)_LEGALEDITS_CF1_FINAL.md (LEGALEDITS). Porsche anecdote in same beat: 1965 Porsche bought 2003 for $12,500, now insured $125,000 (Heist); Unicorn/earlier copy sometimes uses Rolex/condo examples — same moral, rotating props.

3. Age 17 in 1979 / “trade I was born to make” — Watched a gold/chaos moment as a broke teenager; 46-year wait frame in Heist.

   • Quote: “In 1979, I was 17 years old…” / “I was 17 years old and broke. I'm not either of those things anymore.”
   • Source: Iranian Gold Heist LEGALEDITS.

4. Young Wall Street CFO → multimillionaire at 34 → walks away — Cleared through Bear Stearns; learned from veterans; retires from Street to trade/teach.

   • Quote: “By the early ’90s, I was a multimillionaire at just 34 years old.” / MIC Black: “Karim became one of the youngest CFOs EVER, for a Wall Street trading firm…”
   • Sources: TPU Unicorn LEGAL provisional; MIC Black CSLegal6FINAL.
   • Conflict: same “multimillionaire at 34” age used for Bryan in WNM Method LEGALfinal.

5. Boots-on-the-ground traveler / “Indiana Jones of Wall Street” — Persona already in FinPub Intel; Empire draft adds Arizona copper-mine visit years before AI data-center boom (draft — not LEGALfinal).

   • Source for persona: Experts FinPub Intel; Empire DRAFT for mine visit (flag draft).

• Put-sell win-rate cluster: 161/169 (LEGALEDITS) vs 184/191 + 23-for-23 (unrated slideshow) vs 179/188 (TOD) vs 83.3% War Room stack (Unicorn) vs 37-straight ATM — pick one dated universe.
• Multimillionaire at 34 also Bryan’s line.
• Partner name spelling drift in older copy (“Brian Belli”) — FinPub Intel already notes.
• TPU Empire mine/travel color is DRAFT.

• Current hometown / where he lives when not traveling.
• Family beyond father (spouse/kids rarely in promos).
• Which single put-sell track record Legal wants customer-facing.
