Mr. Chen Lin is a full time fund manager of his extended family assets. He started to write the stock newsletter “What is Chen buying? What is Chen selling?” In 2009 he successfully navigated his family portfolio during the 2008 financial crisis. Chen covers mining, energy and technology, especially biotech in his letters with great track records. Most stocks Chen likes are small caps. Some are very liquid, for example Sarepta which is his biggest winner for 2016, easily has over 100 million dollar worth of shares changing hands in a day. Same for IMMU in 2020, which was taken over for 22 billion. However some juniors are not and hard to accumulate. Chen occasionally did offer good opportunities in private placement that he or his family participated in.
Chen has a passion for mining, he personally visited many mining projects around the world.
