My tax practice is centered around captive insurance. I’m the author of the book U.S. Captive Insurance Law (which is also available on Kindle), the leading book in the field.
Fund My Mutual Fund
I have been in the market in some form since being a teenager, first with mutual funds, then onto to stocks. Now it is 20 years later. It has been a passion of mine, and as any investor, I’ve had my ups, downs, and tuition extracted from learning the ins and outs. “If I only knew then…” and I continue to learn each day. I have a BA in economics from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), and work in finance (not related to Wall St).
Market Anthropology
Although I am an active trader, I have always taken a broad perspective when approaching the markets. I respect the big picture and attempt to place each piece of information within its appropriate context and timeframe. I have found that without this approach, there is very little understanding of ones expectations in the market and an endless potential for risk.
