Seeking Alpha Analyst Since 2013
Over 10 years of investing experience, I use dividend reinvestment to accumulate stocks. I view myself as a Long-Long investor, very rarely (if ever) making short term trades. My three model portfolios--Widows and Orphans, Climbers and Dogs, and Pretty Girls and Railroads, are basically each 1/3 of my actual trading portfolio, divided into thirds, with W&O being the top third and PG&R the bottom third.
I consider myself an independant Buy-Side Analyst.
