Goyette is the ringleader of Financial Chat, home to the ActiveTrader chat room. He oversees a diverse and occasionally rowdy group, and actively participates in the never-ending discussions. "I only have one pair of eyes," says Goyette. "But with 1,000 other pairs of eyes looking at every conceivable stock, news service and media outlet, it is very seldom that we as a group do not know why a stock is moving. More important, we often know why a stock should move before it moves."
Goyette, 31, trained at Goldman Sachs as a stock analyst and then did fixed-income arbitrage for hedge fund Mariner Investment Group before starting his own hedge fund, Delta Investment Group, in January 2000. So far this year his fund is up 95%. His investment philosophy is "to be where others are not." He attempts to uncover small-cap diamonds in the rough before anyone on Wall Street takes notice. A computer science and finance graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Goyette focuses on small tech companies and insists that they have sound financials. He places a particular emphasis on companies with high cash and low debt. He wants to ensure that his investments have enough capital and financial flexibility to tide them through the many months it can take before Wall Street begins to pay attention.
These days Goyette's investment approach has him focusing on nanotechnology, the science of manufacturing devices at the subatomic level. "Nanotechnology, while still in its infancy, holds the promise to revolutionize many different aspects of our economy and civilization," says Goyette.
Favorite Stocks: Nanophase Technologies (nasdaq: NANX - news - people) and Nanogen (nasdaq: NGEN - news - people) as pure plays in the nanotechnology space. Says Goyette, "Once the average person has heard of nanotechnology, everyone will be scrambling for these types of stocks."
