| Introduction | I am a CFA charter holder currently working as a Portfolio Manger for an institutional asset management firm. I have degrees in accounting and finance and have been involved in business since age 13. My first business experience was as a language translator for my father as he was trying to gain his first customers for a flooring business he opened shortly after we immigrated to the U.S. from Moscow, Russia. Haggling with construction supervisors provided some valuable skills. At some point between 13 and 19 I discovered the stock market and it has been my passion ever since. While in college I interned for 2 top producing retail brokers as a sales assistant and than interned as a research analyst at my current employer. I was hired as a full time equity research analyst less than 6 months before the S&P 500 hit a post bubble low of aprox 750. While all of my professional time is spent looking at large/mega cap stocks my personal portfolio consists of mostly small and micro cap companies. This blog is intended to share my research and hopefully get good feedback as well as a source for new ideas. |
