I am a value investor with focus on special situations and small-cap companies. Most of the time, I write about long ideas either ones I’m already invested in or keeping an eye on until I feel confident enough to jump in. I don’t write just to have something new out there; if an idea doesn’t feel strong enough, I’m okay with walking away from it, even if I’ve already spent a lot of time digging into it.

My background is in engineering, but I got into value investing after listening to the “Parsezani dar Bazar” podcast and reading Warren Buffett’s letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. That sparked my interest, and I started learning from other great value investors like Peter Lynch, Charlie Munger, Howard Marks, Joel Greenblatt, Monish Pabrai, and David Einhorn.

Greenblatt’s book "You Can Be a Stock Market Genius" really shifted my focus toward special situations and small-cap plays. I also recently passed the CFA Level I exam. Writing on Seeking Alpha helps me organize my thoughts and connect with other investors who are just as passionate about the markets.

I’m always looking to improve, so if you have any thoughts, suggestions, or just want to share your perspective about my articles, feel free to leave a comment. I’d really appreciate it!
