KIRK ALLENSet a lifelong goal: I was determined to become a very successful investor no matter how many years it took.
After graduating with my MBA in Finance, I became very interested in learning how to invest in the stock market. At the time, I only had theoretical knowledge and was lacking real world investing experience. I tried all of the investment styles from growth/value/income including everything from large to small companies. My capital continued to dwindle during this learning phase and nothing seemed to work using these well- known strategies: fundamentals, buy and hold, and diversification.
Then everything changed when I started to incorporate technical analysis into my buying and selling decisions. Understanding and using simple chart analysis enabled me to locate low risk entry points and control my downside risk. Now the desire to find the next big winner is what motivates and excites me on a daily basis.
