Hot Off the Press
What this Site is All About
This blog is important to me because I feel that most people wrongly believe that the market is a fickle animal beyond their comprehension or grasp. I strongly believe that one can both understand the market and profit from their knowledge. As in sports, there is no holy grail, but you can become stronger and smarter through patience and diligence.
I work in the investment industry, splitting time between managing fixed income, pension allocations and bank relationships. I found out about the outperformance possibilities of an active portfolio in college, when I was referred to the book How to Make Money in Stocks by William O'Neill. I had never before considered that analysis and emotional discipline could lead to higher returns. Since then, I have read everything I could find, from white papers to Fama and French, from Buffett's shareholder letters to archaic Wall Street books from the 1800's.
There are mountains of valuable information out there, but the hardest part for an investor is to filter out the noise and find quality information, while having the discipline to stick to your chosen course of action. On this site I will filter out the noise, while understanding that everyone will need to find their own way with their risk tolerances, temperament and time horizons.
If you believe that markets cannot be timed, and that passive investments are the way to go, you will find valuable information here. If you believe that there must be something better than purely passive allocations, you will find valuable tools here as well.

Interesting posts, I especially like the one regarding the Fallacy of Listening To Market Predictions, people like Cramer and analysts giving bad and even reckless predictions which unfortunately the general public puts so much faith in and actually blindly follow!
Keep up the good work!
