I graduated top of my class with a degree in management with a concentration in finance. While I work in a finance capacity in the non-profit world, I have been following the market and trading daily since I was sixteen years old. I have always loved analyzing individual businesses and trends in their stock price, and finding trading/investing opportunities that the overall market has not yet recognized. My fascination with the market began when I put $3,000 I had saved into my very first stock trade, selling 20 minutes later for a $200 profit. I was sixteen, and it was love at first sight. I have closely followed the markets ever since, and have traded/invested in hundreds of stocks. My professional career has also involved starting a couple of businesses, and managing a few others. While I prefer short term trades based on technical analysis, I enjoy performing fundamental analysis on business models that I can easily understand. My goal for my Seeking Alpha articles and technical analysis blog posts is to show people some of the items I analyze when making investment and trading decisions, in a concise and easy to understand manner.
