Location Huntersville, North Carolina, United States
Introduction NOTE: MOST OF MY POSTS APPEAR ON SEEKING ALPHA. I USE THIS BLOG FOR POSTS THAT ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THAT VENUE. I have been involved with investments of all types on both sides of the Atlantic since 1980, as an equity analyst, portfolio manager, research director and corporate planner. I have established the investment function at several firms and introduced alternative investments where they had not previously been employed. I was deeply involved with shaping European Union securities legislation and have consulted widely to investment management firms, central banks and ministries of finance. I am also the author of articles that have appeared in the Journal of Risk Finance and the Journal of Trading. I hold a Ph.D. in philosophy from Yale University.
