I’m a self taught equity analyst, I run a consultation firm in South Africa where we help clients with estimating the value of construction projects, over the past 5 years I’ve been retail investing and learning more about how the stock market works, following the work of Ben Graham and Joel Greenblatt while also learning data analytics as a side hobby. The equity markets are fascinating for me in the sense that there’s huge amount of data from SEC fillings and other sources where I can utilize my data analytics skills to find good companies to invest in. My Investing style leans more toward value, high quality, long/short mid and small cap companies. Seeking Alpha is an incredible platform for me to share my research and analysis with fellow retail investors, analysts and get constructive feedback from them.
