I am an individual investor with over 10 years of trading. I have been developing as a stock analyst for the last five years. I am inclined to search for Value companies, mainly linked to the production of commodities. I mainly focus on companies that show sustained free cash flows over time, low levels of leverage, sustainable debt over time, that are going through some stage of distress but with high recovery potential. I prefer to analyze companies and sectors that are not widely taken into account by the market like oil&gas, metals, minery and and companies operating in jurisdictions outside the United States, as an opportunity to find value. In that sense, I focus on companies that are developed in emerging markets, that show high margins and present good investment opportunities in the medium and long term. I am interested in companies with a solid pro-shareholder attitude, that maintain solid and sustained buyback programs over time or dividend distribution.I finished my financial master degree with a specialization in company valuation. I vave an economic degree too. One of my main motivations is to share information about companies with the seeking alpha community of investors and add value to the individual decisions of readers. I am not a financial advisor. All articles are my opinion - they are not suggestions to buy or sell any securities
