See You in St. Louis

Hello Everyone!

I've been reading WSO for years and have finally decided to create an account on here to participate in the coversation. Before I felt I had little to offer the community. I didn't graduate from a Top Tier school and didn't begin my career in a Bulge Bracket firm. However, I am doing well where I am at and had some great experiences throughout my college years. While in college, I was part of the student investment fund where we actively managed about $1m. We found undervalued stocks by using fundamental analysis. I love every bit of it.

Last year I started at a small Advisory/Wealth Management firm as the Administrative Assistant. They intended over a couples to move me to an Analyst position. I made it there in about 4 months. Right now, I'm straddling the fence between Economist, Financial Analyst, and Trader. Like I said, it is a really small firm.

Anyway, I am excited to interact with all of you. If I can help anyone in anyway, I'd be glad to.
