    Sunjay Gorawara, a student at Indiana University moved markets when he gave his stock pick, Bridgepoint Education, at the Ira Sohn conference.

    11:00 - 12:00 pm Speed Dating For Stock Pickers: An Idea Exchange On Growth Stocks: It was started by a Rabbi in Beverly Hills looking to match men and women. It moved to the I/T startup world, matching VCs with entrepreneurs. Now, Capitalist Collective is bringing the idea of speed dating to value investing, bring stock pickers together to swap ideas.

    The Set-up: Before the conference you will have the opportunity to submit your best stock idea on Capitalist Collective. We will divide the room into 5 areas divided by sector (technology, telecom, consumer, cyclical & international.) Just go to your selected area and get matched by Capitalist Collective employees. Pitch your stock, and hear someone else’s pitch. The bell rings, rate the idea that was pitched to you and move on to the next match. The 5 stock pickers with the highest stock ratings will each get 1000 Capitalist Collective points, enough for a free ticket to next year's conference!
