The Living Dead

I recently stumbled across my Risky Returns blog and really enjoyed reading the few incredibly nerdy posts. It's wild to think how cool I was 10 years ago...

At the time I began the blog I was, as I wrote, studying for the CFA exam, but also beginning to hunt for a buy-side investing job. The blog (and my CFA study effort...oops) died a quick death when I was fortunate enough to land an analyst role at a quickly growing TMT hedge fund. Going from zero to, well, something, in tech investing overnight required everything I had.

After what has so far been a rewarding ten year investing career, I couldn't help but laugh at my dedicated younger self.

In a clearly vain attempt to relive my unbridled, free-form youth, I have decided to reawaken Mr. Risky Returns, and populate the odd post with stock research musings as they arise. Get ready to be thrilled. Enjoy!

    Equity research provides the daily bread. Industries include finance, healthcare, capital goods and tech. An odd and broad list indeed, although I look forward to gaining expertise. Pre research time spent as a Fortune 500 treasury analyst. Degrees in both finance and political science; working on CFA (level II candidate) and CPA (ACC classes at night). I love big business...mile high vantage point style commerce. I love high finance.
