OckhamResearch.com 2.0 has arrived

I’ve been busy and haven’t blogged for a while.  Our resident investment analysts have kept the blog-o-sphere fresh with posts on our Investment Research Blog.  There you’ll find financial market commentary and investment research editorial.  If you are an individual investor, its a great place to gain expert insight into the markets and the economy.  If you’re a professional investor, take a look, I think you’ll be quite impressed. 

I’m a tech guy and this is my first foray into the financial industry.  One of my primary motivations for taking this position is the incredible expert leadership and constituency in the Ockham / Global Access Holdings staff.  While my previous positions provided me with job satisfaction related to my technical competency and opportunity, I felt the business sector in which I was developing did not contribute to my own personal, individual growth.  Joining Ockham Research is like a transmission mechanic joining the Mario Andretti racing team because he want to improve his personal racing skills.  My brother told me once, "no one will care about your financial health and return on investments like you do."  He was right and that meant I need to learn about investing.  Ockham Research is an entity dedicated to bringing proven investment analysis to investors and investors to volatility and opportunity.  I’ve already learned a ton about the financial industry, so much that I’m excited to come to work each day.  When’s the last time you could honestly say that?

Bringing financial analysis to the masses

Sites like Reuters and Google Finance provide an abundance of information regarding equities and investments but they don’t provide sentiment.  There are a million ways to evaluate and attempt to predict future stock performance.  Some of them look like they work (until they don’t) while some of them actually do work (at least for now). Some of them just don’t.  In fact, somewhere around 80% of investment professionals under-perform the benchmark (not sure what the exact figure is) .  That means your better off buying guaranteed return bonds than investing in the stock market using the principles that most investors subscribe to.  So, unless you really know what you are doing (or think you do) the most logical thing to do is to invest the majority of your available capital in sure things like bonds.  Investing in "things you believe in" is a good way to dabble, but you’re going to be at the mercy of the media.  What about those equities that are in a position to really grow?  What about those companies who, for whatever reason, are under-valued and are very likely to perform well in the coming months?  For that, you can log into http://www.ockhamresearch.com to find ratings and analysis on over 5400 equities.

Learn and Grow

Now that I’ve have shamelessly proudly plugged my new company, I’m excited to get back to work.  If you also wish to learn some of these golden gems of finance, keep an eye on our investment blog. 

This week, the Ockham Research Staff (our chief guru, at that) has prepared an article on Simple Investment Principles. 

My expectation is that this company is going to be a household name in a few years and all that money that gets slid my way will be soundly secured for my children’s future using the principles I learn each day building these exciting tools.
