Rhody Trader

I realized late in the day today that it’s been one year since I started this new gig as a stock analyst. I’d been a fixed income analyst before. I’d been a forex analyst before. I’d even been a fill-in energy market analyst on a few occassions in days gone by. Before one year ago today, though, I’d never been specifically focused on the stock market.

Of course I’ve been trading stocks for 20 years or so. It’s not like this was a totally new thing. But I’d basically done the stock market analysis for my own uses. I’d never written recommendations and trading thoughts on stocks, ETFs, and indices for others to read – especially professionals.

Now, on a daily basis I’m writing intraday index trading strategy, and swing and position pieces for sector ETFs and individuals stocks. I’m writing technical stuff and I’m writing fundamental stuff. Oh, and I’m writing valuation stuff.  My boss, for some reason, considers that something outside fundamental analysis. I’m writing earnings previews and listening to conference calls. Good stuff! Well, maybe not that last bit.

So now it’s a year later. Boy it went fast!
