Wildebeest is a PhD MBA investor in resource stocks-- primarily base metals, iron ore and coal-- which is the primary focus of his writing at http://wildebeests.wordpress.com. Wildebeest is also an experienced Mathematica programmer and contributes code fragments on his blog showing how data can be scraped and processed from web sources.

His focus on resources is driven by a belief that in the longer term, demand for resources will permanently outstrip supply, notwithstanding significant "bumps in the road" along the way like the current global financial crisis. His investment strategies are primarily either long or stay on the sidelines.
