Dr. Chris Kacher
MoKa Investors, LLC DBA Virtue of Selfish Investing
In 1995, Dr. Kacher operated one of the first Internet-based stock advisory services. He then went on to generate triple digit percentage returns for six years in a row during the 1995-2000 period before moving to cash for most of the 2000-2002 bear market, one of the worst in history. From 1996-2001, Dr. Kacher served as chief research analyst for William O'Neil + Company, the New York Stock Exchange member firm, institutional research provider, and publisher of Investor's Business Daily newspaper. During this period, William O'Neil hand-picked Dr. Kacher to manage a portion of the firm's proprietary capital, whereupon Dr. Kacher became a top internal portfolio manager at the company for the five years he held the position before starting his own company.
Dr. Kacher received his B.S. in Chemistry and Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from University of California at Berkeley, where he co-discovered Element 110 on the Periodic Table of Elements and confirmed the existence of Element 106 for which his team named Seaborgium after Dr. Glenn Seaborg, the inventor of plutonium, who supervised Dr. Kacher's work as a doctoral student at UC Berkeley.
Musically gifted, Dr. Kacher was classically trained on the piano beginning at age 3, composing his first song at age 5 which he called "Night Fog", and performing as a concert pianist from ages 5 to 12 in high-profile cities in the US and Japan. He released his debut CD comprised of 21 original piano compositions in 2009. He has since composed nearly 40 new pieces.
He, together with Gil Morales, co-authored the bestselling book, "Trade Like An O'Neil Disciple: How We Made 18,000% in the Stock Market", published by John Wiley & Sons in 2010. It is available in five languages. They have also published 3 other books through Wiley & Sons.
In the 1996 to 2002 period, Dr. Kacher achieved in his personal account a total return in excess of 18,000%, as verified by KPMG, the Big Four auditor.
Dr. Kacher is also currently a principal and Managing Director of MoKa Investors, LLC DBA Virtue of Selfish Investing, https://www.virtueofselfishinvesting.com. Up until 2014, he was a frequent guest and commentator on MarketWatch.com, TownHall.com, CBS host Andy Giersher's Portfolio Doctor, and CNN News Radio's Wall Street Shuffle, among other venues. As of 2014, both Dr. Chris Kacher and Gil Morales stopped giving regular interviews. After having given hundreds of television, radio, and print interviews over the prior years, their time was better spent focused on trading, researching, and educating other investors via webinars and written articles.
Hansecoin in name no longer exists as it was expanded into TriQuantum Technologies OÜ with subsidiaries KJA and HDA (Hanse Digital Access) which includes the tokenization of construction equity on the blockchain for project capital raise as well as a cryptofund. Dr. Kacher holds outside business interests in each which will be launching sometime in 2022. In the meantime, he has a test account which launched on December 3, 2021 open to a limited number of invited participants. It invests primarily in highly liquid cryptocurrencies, thus tends to focus on the top 40 by market cap.
