* As people become more intelligent, they care less for preachers and more for teachers * - Robert G. Ingersoll

I hail from the city of Como, northern Italy, well known for its famous lake. I hold a degree in informatics, but I never worked in the field; instead I dedicate a lot of my time trying to become a successful value investor. I am not a financial professional, and though I'd like to become one, this allows me to look at things with more objectivity. I also like playing chess and poker online, mixing house music, and surfing the web always looking for something new to learn. My mother language is Italian, but I also speak quite good English, Russian, and Spanish. Contact me at itemirus@yahoo.com
