Seeking Alpha

Hedged In » Profile

I'm a (for now anonymous) manager of a long-short fund which is not open to external investors. I have extensive experience on Wall Street and in the technology industry. I look for strong trends and reasonable valuations (GARP?), particularly in the technology and media sectors. Recently, for example, I've been researching the impact of netbooks on the hardware and software stocks.

My training is in fundamental analysis. Although I've never been a fan of technical analysis, over the last few years I've taken more account of sentiment and have therefore paid more attention to charts. Like many analysts and PMs, I trade ETFs in my personal account to avoid conflict with my job. For that reason, I've become more interested in asset class valuation, alternative asset classes, and asset allocation. My goal is meaningful absolute returns with relatively low portfolio turnover and long term capital gains, so I trade relatively infrequently.
