I'm a former investment analyst who now writes investment commentary and invests his own capital. I have a day job that focuses on more macro issues, but I write here to get feedback on company-specific investment ideas. Anything I contribute here is outside the remit of my employment, and therefore readers should consider me completely independent. For complete clarity, I do not receive any compensation for these ideas either through my work or personally, but I do obviously benefit if others follow what I believe are excellent investment ideas.
