From 1994 to 1995, Dr. Chris Kacher helped to discover element 110 and did a confirmation discovery on element 106 which his research group named Seaborgium after his Nobel Laureate mentor Professor Glenn T. Seaborg. Dr. Kacher holds a PhD in nuclear chemistry from University of California Berkeley and has published over 50 scientific research articles.

In May 1995, Dr. Kacher started one of the first online stock advisory services which he called The Virtue of Selfish Investing. The number of subscribers grew exponentially into the thousands in a few short months, but he agreed to close it down once hired in Jan 1996 at William O'Neil Inc, a normal non-compete requirement when working for an SEC-regulated firm.
