Individual Investor

Independent equities trader.

Investment style

His methodology stems from and is founded on the collective research and studies of those traders who history has established possessed highly unusual market acumen. For example, Richard Wyckoff was the first to identify common characteristics in history’s great winning stocks, and, not only that, to study how the great traders of his day “worked” these stocks, how they identified and handled them. This laid the groundwork for those who would follow, men like Bernard Baruch, Gerald Loeb, Nicholas Darvas and, presently, William O’Neil. They all learned and then eventually contributed to what Wyckoff started.

How I got started

Pretty much the first book I read about investing was William J. O'Neil's "How to Make Money in Stocks." It made eminent sense right off the bat. The rest, as they say, is history....

Personal Interests

The "Great Outdoors," literature and travel.
