Meet Curtis "Wall Street" Carroll. He is a financial wizard. We came across "Wall Street" a couple of weeks ago on Youtube at a TEDx Talk he gave in 2017. It was mind-blowing.  Imprisoned at 18 for robbery and murder, this man has everyone talking about his intimate knowledge of stocks and bonds. He taught himself how to read at the age of twenty-one. He overcame 'poverty, illiteracy, incarceration and a lack of outside support to become a stock investor, creator and teacher of his own financial literacy philosophy'.

The media calls him the 'Oracle of San Quentin' for his ability to choose the right stock to buy and sell. Carroll grew up with a victim mentality. He believed the white man and the American Police were the reasons behind his poverty and wretchedness.  Members of his close family were addicted to crack cocaine. This led to a pattern of hunger and homelessness. He recalls standing in a blood bank line, where his mother sold the potassium in her blood so she could buy food for her family. When he was told randomly in jail that white people keep all their money in stocks, he decided he would learn everything he could about stocks so he could make money legally. And he did.
