I specialize in risk minimization that still allows for a large degree of profit over a short-term period. I use economics and general growth metrics to determine whether to buy a stock. I’m fascinated by how public perception affects stock prices and how I can eliminate emotion to achieve the best possible entry price into a stock. When I analyze a potential buy, I first ask myself if the current market cap justifies its current price in comparison to its competitors. In the event the stock is lower than I initially believe it should be valued at, I attempt to find the answer to why. I prioritize looking at the company’s debt-to-equity ratio, price-to-equity ratio, earnings per share, and its future outlook. I also believe that when a company experiences a black swan event, there’s a significant profit to make, depending on the severity. My passion for writing for Seeking Alpha stems from the desire to share my thought process on why a stock should be considered a buy and how logic and an understanding of economics can allow for intelligent and profitable investing. I am a Mays School of Business student at Texas A&M University. I enjoy connecting with people there who can offer different perspectives on trading theory so that I can refine my own over time.
