From an early age, Dr. Jacoby has been interested in "Intelligent Investing." His life
changed when he first read Benjamin Graham's books "Security Analysis" and "The
Intelligent Investor". He has read these books many times over. These tomes have
guided Dr. Jacoby through the minefield of investing for many years, and have
allowed him to avoid the pitfalls that "The Herd" always seems to succumb to. Dr.
Jacoby enjoys sharing and discussing these concepts with all that are interested.

Using the ideas found on this site, Dr. Jacoby effectively entered the stock market
in 2001, but had sold everything for a net profit by 2004. The only equities that
lost money were those that didn’t qualify as Intelligent Investments.

Dr. Jacoby was also heavily invested in real estate in California and Hawaii, but
also had sold all investment assets by the end of 2004. Of course he was the
laughing stock of all his friends who continued to hold equities and real estate. No
one is laughing now.

Dr. Jacoby is also the inventor and patent holder of several specialized endoscopic
instruments used in Periodontics, Restorative Dentistry and Dental Surgery that are
licensed to Microvision Dental Technologies, Inc. Dr. Jacoby is Chairman of this
company.

State University at Northridge (C.S.U.N.) graduating in 1983 (with Honors) with a

1987 from University of California at Los Angeles (U.C.L.A.), and then moved to

accepted to the 2-year Periodontics Residency program at Baylor University in
Dallas, Texas where he received his Certificate in Periodontics and a Masters
