Brian A. Davis is an educator, blogger, small business owner, and manager of four private stock portfolios. Brian believes that sites like Seeking Alpha are important. Unlike network news, S.A. is a haven for non-institutional analysis and non-market spin. Brian is currently working on a book entitled: Kids and Money:Teaching Financial Responsibility to Children in an Age of Excess. While Brian is an optimist who believes the best days of the U.S. are ahead of it, he believes the trends over the next five to eight years will be more turbulent.
