Trained in engineering and economics at MIT, I've had a lifelong interest in money and how it's a reflection of the way businesses, and the economy, work. I'm not an investment professional, but I've worked in the software business from startups to industry titans, and I've started, ran, and sold my own venture-funded business.
For the last 25 years I've managed my own brokerage accounts and IRAs. As a contributor, I want to help shed light on areas where research and analytics can provide investing insight. My goal is to find opportunities that the market has overlooked or otherwise mispriced, plus generate income and long term capital gains with a reasonable level of safety.
Areas of focus for me have ...More been technology growth stocks, energy stocks (including MLPs), and preferred stock--but I'm open minded.
