Fat Pitch Financials
Individual Investor
Fat Pitch Financials focuses on special situation stocks and value investing. George Silva runs the company and is an economist, holds two Ivy League degrees (BS, Cornell University and Masters, Yale University), and has twenty years of experience investing in individual stocks.
Investment process
Fat Pitch Financials uses a bottom-up approach to examining companies. George evaluates the fundamentals of a business to estimate the underlying intrinsic value of its stock. Sifting through reams of securities filing with a unique eye for relatively low risk value opportunities provides a majority of the best investment ideas.
Company background
In 2004, Fat Pitch Financials started out as a personal blog project to explore the value investing techniques of Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham. During that process, George discovered that much of Warren Buffett's early investment success was attributed to "workout" opportunities. He began searching for current workout opportunities and sharing them on the blog, and he set up a small experimental portfolio to explore the potential of special situation investing. The popularity of the blog and model portfolio led the launch of the premium subscription service for special situation investors called Fat Pitch Financials Contributors Corner.
