I have an extensive 24-year career experience in analyzing and valuing companies. I started my career as a buy side then a sell side equity analyst, then I worked as a private equity analyst for several years then as a long-term corporate investor of both equity and debt. Since the start of my career until now, I have been constantly screening, analyzing and investing in stocks – more intensely since mid 2014 when I started building a significant portfolio in UK, US and European stocks. My portfolio has significantly outperformed the comparable indices of the FTSE 100 and the S&P 500, so I thought to share some of my thoughts and experiences publicly.
