Risk Research Inc. publishes the Seeking Alpha Marketplace service Quality Compounders based largely on software originally developed for hedge funds. The Quality Compounders Report analyzes pricing probabilities in exceptionally profitable low-debt public companies. It capitalizes on market swings above and below each company's quarterly moving average, and has historically doubled the returns of "buy and hold." We also publish The Dirty Dogs list which identifies public companies with market caps of over $1 billion with particularly weak trends -- declining margins, increasing debt -- indicating inordinate risk or short sale potential. A third publication, The Dividend Dirty Dogs, identifies dividend-paying companies that do not cover their dividend from free cash flow and thus must increase debt or dilute shareholders to cover the payment. Roderick MacIver, Founder, President. Over the last thirty-five years, Rod has worked for a wide variety of activist investors including Industrial Equity LLC (Australia), Jordan Industries, Leucadia, Richard Rainwater and Sam Zell. He has provided research or completed consulting assignments for over one hundred mutual and hedge funds including Baupost, Fidelity Investments, Mutual Shares, Parnassus Endeavor and T. Rowe Price. In 1987 he was the subject of a Barron’s profile (Texas Will Rise Again, And Rod MacIver Tells How To Play The Recovery, June 22, 1987) which described his work for activist investors and mutual funds. He has discontinued his consulting work to avoid the airports and hotels involved in client visits. In addition to his business career, Rod was a successful nature artist for twenty-five years. He’s published several books of his art and writing, most of which are still available on Amazon. He divides his time between homes in Vermont and New York. Enrique Betancourt, Software Developer.
