The First

Greetings and hello,

This is my first attempt at blogging, and will probably be rather pathetic. Hopefully in time I can share some of what happens in the world of financial management in an insightful and humorous way. I have my doubts.

Fun and (very) little profit, will be primarily focused on individual equities and debt securities. Although most of my contemporaries (at least the one's I know), would much rather create and manage mutual fund based portfolio's for their clients, I tend to buck that trend and go almost exclusively with individual stocks and bonds.

This method of investing is rather hands on and is much more all consuming than picking a few mutual funds and walking with a 5.75% commish. Which is better? I think both have their place, more on that at a later date.

Who can benefit from this blog? Almost anyone once we get going, I'll be posting on equity picks with follow up comments, what the state of the economy means to you, the investor and who knows what else. This should be insightful at times, generally only when I have a guest blogger though. Hopefully you'll give me a chance to figure this out before crushing me, probably not. That's ok too.

I hope you enjoy the upcoming blogs.
