Who am I?
With over 20 years in a variety of careers ranging from finance to tech, and investing my money throughout, I’ve made my fair share of mistakes and learned my fair share of lessons. I am not an expert and don’t have all the answers, but I am here to solve this complex, never-ending puzzle of the markets, and hope you will join me on this journey! Hopefully, we will both learn and enrich each other’s lives along the way.
Trading Philosophy
My core trading philosophy has evolved from the value-oriented style inspired by Warren Buffett to a more active, growth-style investing pioneered by William O’Neil, and furthered by others like Mark Minervini, David Ryan, and others. I also use other styles as called for by the market conditions.
I don’t aim to predict the markets but follow the market’s cues to make money. I am often wrong, but by using a strict discipline of cutting losses, my profits more than make up for my losses.
I am also open to changing my mind when a trade doesn’t work - and I can sometimes take the exact opposite trade if that’s what makes more sense.
