Name: Andy Cole
Born: 06/03/1988
Hometown: Walnut Creek, CA
I trade a combination of equities and stock options in an
attempt to eliminate risk from my portfolios and
consistently outperform the S&P500. Much of my trading
involves the use of technical analysis and candlestick
charting. One the side, I am currently learning how to
trade currencies as well as contributing regularly to the
financial website Seeking Alpha. Currently in college where
I am majoring in Economics, I plan on turning my interests
in the markets into a full time career. When I am not
trading, I can be found playing golf, listening to good
music, and just enjoying life.

I trade using a macro-based view of the markets, placing a
strong emphasis on the fundamentals and employing technical
analysis to help determine entry and exit points. I
currently attend the School of Hotel Administration at
Cornell University. I have been trading both stocks and
options for the past two years, trading my own portfolio to
withstand both bull and bear markets. I am currently a
contributing member of the financial website Seeking Alpha
and I plan on using my future entrepreneurial
accomplishments to better understand the companies I invest
in from and internal/managerial perspective with the goal
of lowering risk within my portfolios. When I am not
trading, I can be found playing golf, as well as developing
my own small business in Ithaca, New York.
About the site:
This website was formed in late 2006 by Andy under the
title So-Cal Options Trader. The goal then was to create a
website that detailed his own investments in the markets,
as well as make every day trading strategies more available
to the average investor. The site quickly evolved over the
course of the next year and the response from short-term
and long-term investors was exceptional. This lead to the
development of an all new site, along with a new
contributor and close friend of mine, Sulaman Chaudhry. Our
goal is to deliver quality, unbiased analysis and
commentary to the financial community, something that we
will strive for everyday. We hope that you find this site
helpful and informative to your everyday trading.
