Gerard Adams is an experienced visionary, serial entrepreneur, and self-made multi-millionaire by the age of 24. From a young age, Gerard had always showed interest in investing opportunities. He started following the stock market as a teenager, and made his first investment by the age of 15. A fundamentalist at heart, his success on Wall Street was a direct result of his uncanny ability to analyze and identify undiscovered, undervalued companies. A creative, out-of-the-box thinker, one of his key talents and strategies lies in discovering future niche trends. Gerard first started his entrepreneurial path right after graduating from high school in northern New Jersey.

While in college, Gerard quickly realized that higher education is a business, and actually one of the biggest businesses in the world. This business teaches students that the path to success requires a degree, and most students graduate with exorbitant student loan debt. It was evident to Gerard that this was not the path he dreamed would lead to a successful career, and his instincts told him to take the entrepreneurial route that he knew was in his blood since he was a teenager.

Since Gerard started investing in the stock market at a very early age, he quickly recognized that the internet was becoming a powerful tool to source information. He started his first online business in 2004, a stock forum, which became one of the most highly-trafficked financial forums on the internet. Because very few stock forums that were popular at that time had any credibility for the members sharing information, Gerard built his forum around a rating system similar to eBay: members of the portal were able to see by rank, status, and comments, who was an amateur and who was a stock-picking guru. Gerard quickly became one of the top stock-picking gurus on this forum, with tens of thousands of members. The website was ranked in the top 50,000 websites by Alexa and as the forum grew, so did Gerard’s reputation.

In 2005, Gerard started getting contacted by publicly-traded companies looking to receive investor awareness based on his research abilities and passion for journalism. Gerard sold the forum in 2006 to start his own investor relations and financial marketing company on the web, Wall Street Grand.

Wall Street Grand was ranked one of the top 3 marketing firms for small cap publicly traded companies nationwide, for several years. Working with hundreds of companies in diverse industries, Gerard quickly became marketing-savvy. Gerard has a passion for due diligence, which is one of the most important characteristics to success in any business. Gerard takes his due diligence on behalf of the companies he represents very seriously, going so far as to personally visit companies’ operations around the world.

In an article published in 2009, Mr. Adams correctly predicted that a rapidly rising U.S. dollar index would be temporary and recommended an investment in gold as a way of leveraging the risk that was rampant in the markets with inflation, claiming that “once the unnatural deleveraging and panic selling pressure becomes exhausted, Gold will look to explode.”

Gold was then priced at $800 an ounce. Gerard invested $500,000 in Great Panther Silver at that time at $1 per share before running to $5 per share in just 6 months. That year, Gerard’s performance average was 245% in gains on over 20 stock suggestions. wallstreetgrand performance

WallStreetGrand.com is still recognized as one of the top destinations for stock suggestions.

In 2010, Gerard’s interest in Wall Street and his libertarian tendencies led him to study macro-economics. Once Gerard realized that the government was misleading Americans to believe that our economy was healthy, despite being bankrupt and in the worst debt crisis our nation has ever seen, Gerard realized it was his mission as a young leader to spread the truth about our economy. Gerard’s mission was to educate Americans on how not only to survive during these hard economic times, but also how to prosper. This led him to start the National Inflation Association, www.inflation.us.

NIA has an impeccable track record for their stock suggestions, where NIA makes million-dollar investments into with full disclosures. Currently, Gerard is invested in mobile and video technology companies as well as commodities.  To learn more about NIA please visit http://inflation.us/about.html and sign up for the newsletter at www.inflation.us. NIA has made several critically-acclaimed documentaries starring Gerard Adams, which have received millions of views on YouTube. Documentaries are all on the video page – “College Conspiracy,” “The Day The Dollar Died,” “Melt Up,” “End of Liberty,” “The Dollar Bubble,” and “Hyperinflation Nation.”

From his success as an investor, economist, journalist, and marketer, Gerard is now diversifying his entrepreneurship. His latest venture has been in what he believes to be the fastest-growing business idea he has ever been involved with yet: EliteDaily.com.  Gerard co-founded, invested in, and developed the management team at Elite Daily, which was formed in December 2011.  Located in the heart of Manhattan, Elite Daily has quickly become the number-one online platform for news, entertainment, culture, and motivational editorials geared towards millennials.  Elite Daily, also known as “The Voice of Generation Y,” has grown from 30,000 monthly users to over 74 million, in only 2 years time, and continues to grow exponentially. The company staff has grown from 3 to 65, and has over 2,000 writing contributors from around the world, as well as partnerships with some of the biggest names in media including MTV, Huffington Post, ESPN and Business Insider. For the post-college-age generation, success is more attainable than ever, but there are few sources that show them the road map to get there. Elite Daily is the platform publication that accomplishes this goal for Generation Y.

Seeking an even more powerful presence with Gen Y, Gerard co-founded Steelos Group, which is an online e-commerce shop: www.Steelos.com.

Steelos, whose name originates from the Spanish word [estilo] for style, manner, or fashion, is bridging the gap between men’s high fashion, contemporary street-wear, and mens lifestyle products at obtainable prices.  Steelos has a popular blog with both original content and sourced articles, to create a lifestyle forum rich with culture and education about the topics that make men move – street style, art, high fashion, music, nightlife, cars, women, tech, and home decor. www.Steelos.com.

KD Healthcare USA, has spent millions of dollars to develop the most innovative and lightweight electric wheelchair ever to hit the market in the USA. Weighing under 50lbs, this electric wheelchair has the most advanced battery technology ever used, is FDA approved, and has a patent-pending proprietary folding mechanism suitable for low maintenance. KD Healthcare USA has donated the “KD SmartChair” to recent victims of the Boston Marathon bombing who lost their legs. For more information on the KD SmartChair please visit www.KDSmartChair.com.

Gerard continues to expand and diversify now investing into NYC real estate developments. It all started with building and refurbishing 2- and 4-family homes in urban areas near where he grew up in New Jersey before connecting and networking to source residential development projects in NYC.

Not only did Gerard develop affordable housing for communities in Newark NJ where his father and grandparents were raised but he also donates generously to his parish at St. Lucy’s Church also in Newark. At St. Lucy’s, Gerard helps run the St. Gerard Youth Committee giving back to the church and investing in its 100+ years of traditions. St. Lucy’s Church features a shrine to St. Gerard, the religious icon for sick children and mothers for which Gerard received his namesake.
