The investigative work. This is where I publish findings from research that took real digging, FOIA requests, database searches, and sometimes a lot of pushback.

Interviews

Conversations with investors, researchers, and analysts I respect. I learn a lot from these interviews and figured other people would too. "Reflecting on a Great Conversation with Swen Lorenz" came from an in-depth discussion about building a content business in the investment research space. Swen featured it on his blog, and the conversation covered value investing and alternative assets in a way I had not talked about publicly before.

Research Tools

The tools and resources I actually use for stock research. I have spent years testing, collecting, and building these, so I figured I would share them.

If you are not using FOIA requests in your research process, you are leaving information on the table.
