Ray Blanco

Growing up, I'll bet you knew a kid like Ray. When Ray was 10, he was the eccentric kid that spent hours in his room every night, typing programming code into his Timex Sinclair 1000. By eighth grade, while most other kids were outside knocking a baseball around, Ray was in his basement figuring out how to build what's called a "Wilson Cloud Chamber" -- a supercooled device for detecting particles of ionizing radiation. From there to advanced robotics and avionics... genomics and biotechnology... getting smarter was his idea of fun. And now he's combined his passion for technology with financial and stock market expertise. Ray is the co-editor of Technology Profits Confidential.
