Chris Camillo sits down with Vlad to trace the unlikely path from barely graduating high school to building a fortune through stock trading. The Dallas investor recalls studying finance at SMU, placing risky options trades through Fidelity’s Touchstone Trading, cold-calling municipal bonds at Dean Witter, and later going broke while chasing a film career and selling cars in Los Angeles at Lexus, Porsche, and Toyota dealerships. Camillo explains how a more disciplined “social arb” strategy helped him grow a small account into millions, eventually generating audited returns featured by Jack Schwager in the *Market Wizards* series. He breaks down how observing culture, consumer behavior, Google Trends, weather events, and real-world signals led to major trades, including a Beacon Roofing bet after tracking “roof repair” searches following hail storms. A grounded look at risk, leverage, market timing, startups, and why there is no guaranteed trade.
