So why bother reading my blog?

I have been an active trader for 10 plus years. Since the late 1990s, I have seen some of the most tumultuous periods of volatility the stock market has ever encountered. I’ve watched friends, and a few family members, hung out to dry trying to buy the next up and coming Google or Potash, only to buy at the top and watch their hard earned cash drop 50% in value before selling.

Proof you ask? Ask anyone who bought a dot com stock because an analyst on CNBC touted it could revolutionize the dog food industry (of all things) or someone who bought a home in San Francisco just prior to the real estate bubble bursting.

Therefore, items such as microtrend investing, bargain hunting, and long term investing themes are all paramount to my investment related decision making.

I’m always open to questions and comments, so don’t hesitate to drop me a line.
