His ultimate investing goal is to build a personal brand and stand-alone family office that provides flexibility on when and how he works going forward. Over the years his investing strategy has matured but he has now landed on a dual investing strategy. Focus on long term capital appreciation with index funds (like the S&P500) with a sprinkle of smaller speculative small cap stocks that may lead to outsized returns. Matt supplements his returns through writing far out of the money covered calls. Matt is a petroleum engineer by education and has worked in the energy industry for a decade. In his free time he enjoys discussing investment opportunities, medium-full bodied cigars and single malt scotches. Matt wants to write articles for Seeking Alpha to deepen his knowledge and due diligence on his speculative stock investments, as well as learn from other authors on SA as he recognizes portfolio strategies change as the investor ages.
