At EpiphanyInvesting.com (http://epiphanyinvesting.com/), equity analysis originates within a methodical, objective, and analytical framework. But true success involves equal parts science and art - and this starts with a solid belief in the way the world will be in the future. From that belief can come logical theories that apply to specific technologies, business models, and industries.

Failures should be appreciated as much as successes, so long as the investor can approach both with a relative calm. Success in the long run is the only goal which truly matters, so we must practice with intent, no matter what the short-term noise reinforces or contradicts. The markets are always seeking an inherent balance, and our research style seeks to follow the markets and profit from imbalances when they appear.
