Tim Plaehn

I am a freelance writer with a 25 year interest in the stock market. My qualifications include 10 years as a stock brokers and Certified Financial Planner. Additional background includes a degree in mathematics, a stint as an Air Force pilot, and business experience in selling commercial equipment. My previous investment related articles have appeared on the moneynews.com, iStockanalyst, Investing Underground and Motley Fool websites.

A major goal of articles produced for Seeking Alpha is to look at the possible downside of different investment choices. Investors love the stocks and funds they pick and sometimes do not look outside of the management hype to consider what could go wrong.
