Introduction

Hello, thanks for reading.  A big passion of mine has always been trading actively and developing different models to generate alpha in the market.  I want this to be a place to share thoughts on investing and trading.  As background, I am a former Investment Manager for NewMarket Capital Partners' flagship hedge fund of funds.  Prior to that, I was a Senior Investment Officer for the City of Philadelphia Board of Pensions and Retirement.

I plan to use this blog to post my thoughts and trades as they occur.  Hopefully many will be productive musings and lead to investment gains.  However, knowing how maddening tricky the market can be, I imagine some will be times I grouse and complain about things gone awry.  Thanks for being patient with those too and allowing me the outlet. :)

I will try to make the posts as timely as possible and will let you know what I trade and why.  I am new to this whole blogging endeavor and I know the format could use some work, but I am looking forward to seeing how it takes on a life of its own and develops over time.
