Introduction: Capital Gains

Welcome to Capital Gains, a financial blog focused on stock analysis for the working investor.

Today's market intimidates the working investor. Instead of not having enough information, we are flooded by it. Never certain that someone has manipulated the information until it is too late. With each corporate scandal, trading is becoming more like taking a leap of faith.

I am not a professional analyst, financial manager, or speculator with large bank rolls. Like other working investors, I have a day job and set aside personal savings for long term investing. My aim is to provide research that is clear and to the point. Eliminating the guess work and arming the working investor with confidence in his trading.

My philosophy is about investing into stocks that I know best. This includes limiting myself to sectors that I am most comfortable with. Like many people my day to day life forces me to brush up against several companies in the Consumer Goods Sector. While my work and hobbies are in the Technology Sector. So it should be no surprise that I plan to write mostly about companies in these sectors.
