Over the last few years, I have developed a true passion for investing and learning everything there is to know about how the financial markets operate (I'm still in the early stages of this process). I originally started this blog as a journal where I could track my trades and see whether or not my decisions were accurate, but my additional aim is to offer investors some quality stock picks as well as market insight. My short-term goals are to graduate (the University of Colorado), travel Europe after my International Finance Seminar in London (once again), intern at a hedge fund or risk management firm in London, move back to the states and find challenging and enjoyable work in the financial industry.
